Princess Diana had 3500 guests in attendance at the congregation at St Paul’s Cathedral.
660,000 lined the route of Princess Dianas procession – WOW! This needed 2,200 military officers and 4,000 police to manage crowds.
During her vows – She did not promise to “obey” him as part of the traditional vows. That word was eliminated at the couple’s request, which caused a sensation at the time.
Diana’s wedding dress was valued at $13,000. The dress was made of ivory silk taffeta, decorated with lace, and embroidery, sequins, and 10,000 pearls. It was designed by Elizabeth and David Emanuel and had a 25-foot train of ivory taffeta and antique lace. Diana wanted to make sure that she had the longest train in the royal wedding history.
So what did the final price tag end up being? 44 million dollars – and in todays world that would equal 77 million dollars! Oh what a sight that would be.
