The Royal Wedding: Prince Charles and Lady Diana's Fairytale Marriage

On this day in 1981, Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer got married at St. Paul's Cathedral in London. The wedding was watched by an estimated 750 million people worldwide, and around 3,500 guests attended the ceremony. Diana's dress, designed by Elizabeth and David Emanuel, was adorned with lace, hand embroidery, sequins, and 10,000 pearls, with a 25-foot long train. The couple caused a stir by intentionally removing the phrase "to obey" from their vows. After the ceremony, they made a traditional appearance on the balcony of Buckingham Palace, starting the trend of kissing each other, which was later followed by their son, Prince William, and his wife, Duchess Kate, at their wedding 30 years later.
