Royal weddings happen once in a lifetime. From the flowers, the wedding dress, and the cake, everyone wants to know the special day’s details. They have become so popular that millions of people watch them on television and purchase memorabilia. Items made to commemorate the wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton include dishware, a replica royal engagement ring, PEZ dispensers, and even a Catherine Middleton doll! With the excitement surrounding today’s royal wedding, the Friday photo post focuses on works of art in the collection that include couples and objects made for royalty.
