They're Engaged

The palace has announced the engagement of Prince William and long-time girlfriend Kate Middleton.  The wedding will be sometime in the spring or summer.  The future queen is from a solidly middle class background.  Kate's family built a party supply business, Party Pieces.  There may be some scandalized royals over a commoner marrying the Prince of Wales, but good for William for choosing love and taking his time.  Let's hope he's fully cognizant of his mother's experience and has taken that into account.  Let's also hope that Kate, who is older and more highly educated than Diana, is mature and prepared.

OK, now let's talk gowns.  She's tall, thin, and gorgeous, so I see something sleek and modern.  Thoughts?
