The German press have picked up that the date, 29th April, is not apparently very auspicious astrologically, but the couple are still definitely 'Das Traumpaar'.
Also that it seems that Prince Charles, The Prince of Wales and the father of Prince William, together with the Queen, his grandmother, will be covering most of the cost, which will be in the millions one way or another, with some input from the brides parents, perhaps the wedding cakes or the dress which will come to about �50,000. While the security element etc. will be paid for by the government.
Certainly sounds as if the couple are planning a really fun and unstuffy celebration for their marriage, not a state occasion, which is great don't you think?
