Prince William and Kate Middleton met in 2001 at St. Andrews University.
They started dating in 2003 and moved in together.

Did you ever walk into a room of people and know that all eyes were on you and you held the energy of that time and space? I have on many occasions when, especially when I was young, so I can emphasize with what Kate felt on her wedding day. It's powerful and positive and a high that is hard to describe. You have to live it ... to be it. It is a feeling that goes beyond destiny and merges you with something greater than who you are in your physical body here. It transforms.
On Friday morning April 29, 2011, I woke up at 5:45 to watch the Royal Wedding. There was Queen Elizabeth getting into a limo looking stunning in canary yellow - her coat looking like the suns rays radiating out. She and Prince Philip stepped into her limo to head off to Westminster Abbey for the wedding of their Grandson Prince William to Kate Middleton. On the morning of their wedding day at 8:00 am, officials at Buckingham Palace announced that in accordance with royal tradition and on recognition of the day by the Queen, Prince William was created Duke of Cambridge, Earl of Strathearn and Baron Carrickfergus.

The weather in London was not only cooperating with no rain, but the news showed the clouds parting as Kate arrived at Westminster Abbey. A reported from Access Hollywood said that the moment Kate and William became husband and wife, the clouds parted and the sun beamed down.
Kate looked radiant. Her stunning dress was designed by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen fashion house. (Was that a Sarah and Alexander moment?) Kate, who looks a lot like Sarah in the story, wore her hair half-up, half-down and with a dramatic veil and a tiara from Queen Elizabeth II. Kate looked every bit the fairy tale princess. Here sister Pippa also wore a dress by Sarah Burton and looked amazing.
What's amazing about Kate, Pippa, William and Harry is they are fun people, like children on a playground, enjoying the moment and doing it in style. You get the feeling they are here to make a difference but in ways other than those of royalty who preceded them.

Six Planets Now Aligned in the Dawn Sky
Live Science - April 29, 2011
If you get up any morning for the next few weeks, youÕll be treated to the sight of all the planets except Saturn arrayed along the ecliptic, the path of the sun through the sky. For the last two months, almost all the planets have been hiding behind the sun, but this week they all emerge and are arrayed in a grand line above the rising sun. Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Jupiter are visible, and you can add Uranus and Neptune to your count if you have binoculars or a small telescope. This sky map of the six planets shows how they should appear at dawn to observers with clear weather and an unobstructed view. Astrologers have always been fascinated by planetary alignments.

connecting the wedding to trees and arches,
I had no idea Kate had requested trees for Westminster Abbey.
