The royal wedding is almost upon us! While to some this means nothing and the day will pass as per usual, to others however, the world will stand still and they will be glued to whatever media gives them a front row seat to see Prince William and Kate Middleton walk down the aisle. CNN has decided to go all out on the spectacle with multi-platform coverage featuring a host of live programming and in-depth features that should have royal family fans salivating. It is indeed the biggest royal wedding event since 1981 when Prince Charles married Lady Diana Spencer. You can be sure it will be headlining newspapers and leading TV and radio news broadcasts worldwide. And if you don't have access to traditional media, rest assured, the internet is bound to release the future Princess William of Wales' vows before she even utters them. Let the media jostling begin. Tally-ho!
