Wedding at Westminster?

While palace aids report that she is checking out a number of different venues, the gorgeous Abbey remains important to the newly engaged couple. Sitting just west of the Palace of Westminster, it was host to the weddings of both the Queen and the late Queen Mother. What makes it an even more likely choice resides in its connection to William’s mother, Princess Diana whose funeral took place within its halls.

A St. James’ Palace spokesman told Sky News that “the couple wish for a little more time to be able to consult family members and make a decision for themselves.” Whatever the final decision may be, sources say that the Abbey’s only other contender is St. Paul’s Cathedral where Charles and Diana tied the knot in 1981.
