Following the ceremony, the new couple will participate in a Carriage Procession from St George’s Chapel through Windsor Town returning to Windsor Castle along the Long Walk. Their first kiss will not take place in the church, as is tradition. They are reported to be appearing on the balcony of Buckingham Palace for their first kiss as husband and wife.
As for why the happy couple will ride in a carriage throughout Windsor, before heading to their daytime reception, the palace has stated, “They hope this short journey will provide an opportunity for more people to come together around Windsor and to enjoy the atmosphere of this special day.” The newlyweds are to ride in the Ascot Landau carriage for their procession. According to Fox News, the palace has reported, “The carriage is one of five Ascot Landaus in the Royal Mews. The carriages are used in official and ceremonial state events, such as Coronations, Royal Weddings and State Visits.” Claire Ptak of Violet Cakes has created the couple’s wedding cake and Stella McCartney and Burberry are rumored designers included in fashions for the big day.
