So, the long wait is over. After nine years of courtship, Prince William is
going to marry his girlfriend Kate Middleton. The wedding is set to happen
next Summer, most likely in mid-August.
For the media it’s the best news they’ve had in ages. Speculation about the
details – where the wedding will be held, what Kate will be wearing, who’s
going to be William’s best man (Harry, probably) and who’ll be singing in
the church – can now go into overdrive.
What’s certain already, however, is that it will be the biggest and most
lavish Royal Wedding this country has seen since that of William’s parents,
Charles and Diana, way back in July 1981.

Most of us here at dating-4-over40s.com will remember that occasion well.
The sun came out, we all took a day off work, went to a street party (or
two) and shed a tear as we watched the fairytale Princess in her golden
carriage on television. (Who knew it would end in such tragic
circumstances?)
But the other thing we remember about that time was the unmistakable
romantic atmosphere that took over the country. Love was in the air. Men
treated women like Princesses – and women reciprocated by having their hair
cut just like Lady Di! Apparently, the number of marriages and births rose
significantly during that long hot Summer.
So, the question is: will we see the same thing this time? Is an air of
romance and magic going to blow away the depressing atmosphere of the past
year or so? Will we see hundreds or even thousands of other couples tying
the knot and exchanging vows inspired by the new Royal couple? Are William
and Kate going to get us all in the mood for love?The answer, almost
certainly, is yes.
All of which, of course, is great news for those of us who are looking for a
little romance and passion in our lives. 2011 may well be the year when we
all get in touch with our inner Prince and Princess. We can’t wait!
