The two met at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland. They were close friends for such a long time, until they developed obvious feelings for each other. The only reason that they were a secret when he was in college was because Prince William had made an agreement with the paparazzi that they would not interupt his education. After the first year of being good, close friends, they went on a ski trip together which had the paparazzi going wild.
They lived together as roommates and from then on, as the prince put it, "it blossomed." When they announced the engagement, reporters asked why it took him so long to propose and his response was, "I also didn't realize it was a race, otherwise I probably would've been a lot quicker." The relationship did cause some controversy because Kate was not royalty, and it was common for royals to wed other royals. The surprise besides the engagement was the ring he proposed with. The ring belonged to his mother, the late Princess Diana. It is a beautiful blue sapphire diamond ring that is worth £30,000.
The Royal Wedding took place on April 29th, 2011. At 11:15am the couple took their vows. Will was confident when saying his vows, Kate on the other hand, very emotional. "Waity Katey" was no more. They are finally married. The first kiss as newlyweds took place on the balcony of Buckingham Palace after the ceremony. Everyone has witnessed history in the making.
