It is the dream of every Bride to have handsome and smart Prince as his groom. These dreams remain dream for every girl in reality. Of course true love between couples is not less than any royal couple but if a girl gets her dreams come true, it is the ultimate gift from god.
Kate Middelton is the girl who found his Prince from the Royal Family of England. Love story between the two is also very interesting. Both fell in love during their studies in St Andrews University. After a long time both decided to get married and their engagement on 20 October 2010 was announced on 16 November 2010. The wedding took place on 29 April 2011 in London.
Amid this Royal Wedding the cost which is rising is hard to dream for a couple to spent on their wedding. But as it is the Royal one the money was spent in figures which can be a dream for people like us. The money spent can be used for helping poor people helping them to escape their misery.
Average cost of a US wedding is around $27,000 .Here I tried to mention some of the estimated figures of the wedding of the century. After reading these figures you may also start thinking about the same.

The whooping cost for the wedding was made by the Royal Family and the Middletons. The cost of security and transport will be covered by British Treasury. Donations were made by the public in place of traditional wedding gifts to the charitable gift fund which assisted charities such as New Zealand Christchurch Earthquake Appeal, Canadian Coast Gaurd Auxiliary, the Royal Flying Doctor Service, and the Zoological Society of London. Overall cost can be recovered by the rise in tourism industry and money spent by them during their visit in shopping. So, the figures are very interesting which definitely left you thinking about your wedding figures.
