A National Holiday
Their wedding day was epic and it was officially declared a national holiday. The date the two wed was July 29, 1981. UK citizens were so overjoyed by the wedding and wanted it to be an official holiday so they could take part in the celebration.
Let Them Eat Cake
The couple’s celebration was super extravagant. Did you know they had a total of 27 wedding cakes? The official cake was designed and made by David Avery. He was the head baker at the Royal Naval cooking school. In 2014 a piece of the 33-year-old cake was actually auctioned off for $1,375.
