Prince Charles & Princess Diana

The spectacular ceremony, dubbed “the wedding of the century,” was attended by 3,500 guests and seen by 750 million people on television. With two royal degrees spending $48 million in total, their wedding day will be remembered as a fairytale forever.

The wedding took place in London’s St. Paul’s Cathedral. Interestingly, Princess Diana was the first royal to remove the word “obey” from her wedding vows, and she also made the mistake of calling her husband, Philip Charles Arthur George, rather than Charles Philip Arthur George. Princess Diana wore an opulent gown designed by David and Elizabeth Emanuel for Alexander McQueen. It had a 25-foot train, the longest in royal history, and full of 10,000 pearls. The pair made up for forgetting to kiss after saying their wedding vows with a public display of devotion on a balcony outside of Buckingham Palace. Their kiss started a custom that the heirs have followed since.
