congratulations................ prince william and kate.....Royal Wedding: Prince Harry's Speech at the Second Wedding Reception of Prince William and Kate Middleton - hellomagazine.com
William's brother leads the charge as some of the guests make their way to an afterparty
Guests had been expecting good things from Prince Harry's best man speech. And true to form he had them in hysterics from the word go, by referring to his brother Prince William as "a real dude"
Guests listened from their seats at 30 circular tables, decorated with pretty white flowers, and named after the newlyweds'favourite places.
These included was Rhoscolyn – a village on Anglesey – and Maun, a town in Botswana that Prince Harry calls 'home' on his Facebook page.
The flame haired royal is said to have donned a Fez hat before he stood up to speak at the evening reception at Buckingham Palace, which was attended by 300 of the couple's close friends and family.
After the speeches, William took Kate's hand and shyly led her onto the dancefloor for the first dance, which was Your Song – the Elton John number performed by Ellie Goulding.

Prince William and Kate -- a.k.a. the just-married Duke and Duchess of Cambridge -- definitely got their party on at Buckingham Palace (hosted by his father Prince Charles) on Friday night.
Just 300 close friends and family of the newly-titled Duke, 28, and Duchess, 29, scored an invite to the intimate bash, where both the royal bride and her Maid of Honor Pippa Middleton stunned in gowns by Sarah Burton and Alice Temperley, respectively.
"The speeches were very emotional," one female guest told Us. Man of Honor Prince Harry's speech for this big brother was a highlight. According to another guest, frequent jokester Harry, 26, took pains not to embarrass his big brother. After thanking his father Prince Charles, stepmother Duchess Camilla and grandmother Queen Elizabeth, Harry paid touching tribute to their late mother, Princess Diana, who passed away at age 36 in 1997.
When the bash was officially over at 2 a.m., departing guests were given two chocolate cupcakes (housed in a plastic box) featuring Mario Testino's iconic shot of the happy couple on top. (The cupcakes were custom-made by James Middleton's Cake Kit Company.), Before boarding carriages off the palace grounds, the revelers enjoyed a spectacular fireworks display.
"We had a fantastic time!" one guest told Us. Click link below for more details.

Kate Arrives at Clarence House Looking So Cool!
The couple have lived together at a rented farmhouse on in the island of Anglesey for the last year and friends said they saw no reason to be apart for any longer than necessary.
In line with tradition, however, Kate will spend her last night as an unmarried woman apart from the groom. Although she was offered the pick of palace apartments in which to stay, family-orientated Kate has opted to stay in the five-star Goring Hotel with her parents, Michael and Carole, sister Pippa and brother James.

Full Military Dress Rehearsal Included the Horses
Full Military Dress Rehearsal
Hundreds of soldiers, sailors and airmen today had their last chance to practise for Friday's Royal Wedding in a dress rehearsal that started before dawn and continued into daybreak.
The full-scale walk-through was timed down to the last second - with military leaders well aware that the world will be expecting them to make sure everything goes smoothly on the big day.
So nothing was left to chance with the dry run which began at around 4.50am - after soldiers had gathered as early as 2am - and continued for hours.
The Happy Princess-to-Be
William and Kate in a final Royal Wedding rehearsal at Westminster Abbey
As predicted Prince William and Kate Middleton were ushered into a side entrance of Westminster Abbey last night to complete a final run-through of Friday's Royal Wedding ceremony.
The couple arrived in a chauffeur-driven car around 7:30 p.m. (GMT) with their wedding party, which included Prince Harry, Pippa Middleton and the rest of Kate's immediate family including her parents, Michael and Carole, and brother James.
With less than 2 days to go until the Royal Wedding...
What's the latest news?
At around 2am (GMT) this morning approximately 1000 British soldiers from the RAF, Navy, Household Cavalry, and the Army (some of whom have served with Prince William) took part in a dress rehearsal.
The rehearsal followed the planned Royal procession route culminating at 5am with the Rolls Royce phantom in which Kate Middleton is expected to travel in on her way to the ceremony, pulling up outside Westminster Abbey. Later on, seven RAF pilots rehearsed the fly-past in the sky above London.
There is a full dress rehearsal expected tomorrow, the day before the Royal Wedding, which will take place in Westminster Abbey and involve the whole of the wedding party except Kate, William and the Royal Family.
A music rehearsal is taking place in the Abbey today, which has been closed off now to the public. And, Kate and William are expected to run through a dress rehearsal at Westminster Abbey later on today but it is not yet confirmed.
The public have already started pitching their tents along the main procession route with some of the people having camped out since Tuesday just to ensure they secure one of the best viewing positions.
Elsewhere, it has been rumoured that Alexander McQueen maybe the designer behind the Royal Wedding dress (we'll update you further on this). Whilst others have been more concerned with Kate's hairdo, with speculation that she will be wearing it up instead of down after she was spotted today with it uncharacteristically tied up.
Finally, there has been some speculation that Prince William personally snubbed Tony Blair and Gordon Brown by ensuring they both were not invited to the Royal Wedding. In contrast two past Tory leaders, Sir John Major and Lady Thatcher were invited.
It is no secret that Prince William is not a big fan of Tony Blair after he made political capital out of the death of his mother and Gordon Brown may have just been a victim of convenience as the Palace's official line on it is that neither Tony Blair nor Gordon Brown are Knights of the Realm. They could hardly invite one without the other, could they?
The Royal Wedding flowers
Prince William and Miss Catherine (Kate) Middleton have chosen London-based floral designer Shane Connolly to create the floral displays for their Royal Wedding in 2 days time on 29th April 2011.
Mr. Connolly has directed a team of florists, including Westminster Abbey's and Buckingham Palace's florists, and florists individually chosen by the Couple, to create the floral displays at the Abbey and for Buckingham Palace.
Mr. Connolly has directed a team of florists, including Westminster Abbey's and Buckingham Palace's florists, and florists individually chosen by the Couple, to create the floral displays at the Abbey and for Buckingham Palace.
Mr. Connolly was chosen by the couple owing to his reputation for producing elegant and unique displays, and for his creative approach which focuses on using seasonal, natural and organic flowers. Mr. Connolly is also well known for his sustainable approach to floristry, which incorporates as much as possible the use of growing, rather than cut, plants and trees.
The Couple have taken a close interest in the designs, which follows a theme that pays tribute to the Language of Flowers.
The floral displays in Westminster Abbey feature a variety of seasonal growing and cut British flowers and trees sourced from Royal Estates and other growers around the country. The flowers and plants include blossoms, azaleas, rhododendron, euphorbias, beech, wisteria and lilac.
The floral displays in the Abbey will include eight 20 feet-high trees: six English Field Maple and two Hornbeam. All the trees will be growing in planters, which have also been designed by Mr. Connolly and which were made by craftsmen at Highgrove, The Prince of Wales's Residence in Gloucestershire.
After the wedding, the flowers and plants will be left in position in Westminster Abbey for the public to view until Friday 6th May 2011. Following this, many of the trees will be taken to Highgrove Gardens, where they will be planted. The Couple's intention is that many of the cut plants and flowers and all the growing plants will be donated to charities or re-planted.

The Bet is On: Will Kate Middleton Wear The Queen's Diamond Tiara?
A gambler stands to win £72,000 after betting that Kate Middleton will become the first 'commoner' to wear the Queen's diamond tiara on her wedding day.
The bet that she will wear the George III Tiara was placed by a well-spoken middle-aged woman in Egham, Berkshire, yesterday.
The Russian fringe tiara is part of the Crown Jewels and was made in 1919 for Queen Mary. It has since been worn by the Queen Mother, the Queen and Princess Anne at their weddings.
