PETALING JAYA: Malaysians will be joining millions around the world to watch one royal bachelor taken off the market when Prince William exchanges “I dos” with Kate Middleton.
The live telecast from Westminster Abbey this evening will see many glued to their TVs to watch the much-anticipated event.
Some have gone to the extent of taking time off work so they could catch the wedding live ... while others regret that they will have to settle for re-runs.
Electrical engineer Raja Fernaliza Raja Harrin, in her 30s, said marriages excite her and that “William and Kate's takes the cake”.
Although she has a crush on the 29-year-old prince, writer Rachel Law, 22, agreed the couple made a compatible pair.
Like most wedding observers, Law is most looking forward to see the dress and accessories adorning the bride.
“They are both gorgeous, intelligent and have a caring heart.
“Kate has always appeared good in public and I love most of what she wears,” said Law, who is planning to catch a 7am rerun of the wedding with her mother.
Separately, an evening of grandeur awaits 550 guests of a closed-door party at the grand ballroom of a hotel here tonight in conjunction with the Royal Wedding.
Led by British High Commissioner Simon Featherstone and his wife Gail, guests will be treated to a buffet line as giant screens broadcast the wedding as it occurs in London.
The dinner is by admission of tickets of RM150 for adults or RM100 for children.
Proceeds from the dinner will be channelled to charities.
“Guests expected to be present include ambassadors, business partners, and members of the public comprising both locals and British citizens,” the official said.
