Very sorry Kate and William, but you were beaten to this one by several months.
I first met Kate and Gino early last spring when we met to discuss their wedding and they asked me to be their wedding photographer. At the time the date, 29th April 2011, was just another day in the calendar.
They were marrying at a beautiful church in Grasmere in the Lake District and having their reception at the Linthwaite House Hotel. I know Grasmere well, but hadn't shot at the hotel, so was looking forward to the excitement of working at a new venue. All very fantastic. Kate and I even share the same surname (well, until next April), so this was going to be a wedding that was always going to stand out for me.
Then the Royals made their announcement and suddenly the importance of the date changed. And a few days ago Kate and Gino appeared on tv to talk about it. Here's the link to the piece on Granada Reports that featured them: http://www.itv.com/granada/royal-wedding-date98389/
Congratulations to all four of you, but especially to Kate and Gino. We'll be meeting next month to discuss plans and to have a pre-wedding shoot. And I'm counting the days until we meet in the Lakes.
