Kate Middleton wows in an Alexander McQueen wedding gown
We are absolutely stunned by this morning's events. Sure, we've
been excited about the Royal Wedding, but we never thought we'd find it so...moving.
Kate Middleton looks absolutely stunning in her Grace Kelly-esque gown, designed by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen, and Prince William isn't looking too shabby either.
But we won't get too bogged down with our soppy patriotism for too long - it's just not our style.
Make sure you stay tuned into our Twitter feed throughout the day, where we'll keep you posted on the Star Trip musings for this grand old day.

Royal Wedding hiccups - will Prince Charles get his groove on?
The morning of the Royal Wedding has finally arrived and
here at Star Trip we're gagging to
see how the day's events will unfold.
The guests have already begun to arrive, and we've been praising some and judging others for their outfit choices (we can't help but feel that Tara Palmer-Tomkinson misjudged her look, apparently under the impression that dressing like a tropical bird was appropriate).
So far, so good - but how long will it last? Here at Star Trip (cynics that we are), we are struggling to accept that there won't be any hiccup throughout the day. In fact, we'd wager that there will be some funny tales to tell, so we've made a little set of predictions in anticipation:
- 'Celebrity' cage-fighter Alex Reid makes a bid to gain entry to the reception, weeping "Don't you know who I am?!"
- Prince Harry drunkenly slurs his way through his best man's speech, declaring "I love my big brother so *hic* much. Honestly, I proper *hic* love him and I love *hic* Kate, even thought she's a commoner".
- Prince Philip makes an inappropriate comment to a young
female wedding guest, causing the Queen to cluck in disapproval before making her apologies and leading a drunken Phil home.
- Prince Charles does the funky chicken, before slithering into the Macarena, and busting out the robot. We anticipate this could be during William and Kate's vows.

Ellie Goulding to perform at the royal wedding!
British songstress Ellie Goulding is set to perform at tomorrow's royal wedding reception.
The Starry Eyed singer received a personal invite from Prince William and Kate Middleton, asking her to perform at the after-dinner party at Buckingham Palace, reports the Daily Mail.
A source told the paper: "Ellie
was knocked off her feet when she received the invitation to perform for Prince
William and Kate - and was so hugely honoured when they said they were both big
fans of her music."
"She still can't quite believe that she will perform for the Royal
newlyweds, all the young Royal guests and their friends, it hasn't sunk in
yet."
Goulding is rumoured to play a medley of her chart-topping hits, as well as her rendition of Elton John's Your Song.
Earlier this month, rumours were rife that Beyonce and Jay-Z were invited to perform.
Has Ellie's appointment shafted bootylicious Beyonce and her potato-faced hubby off the bill? We'll just have to wait until tomorrow to find out for sure!

'Pop royalty' Beyonce and Jay Z to perform at the royal wedding?
Rumour has it that Beyonce and hubby Jay Z are to perform at next weekend's royal wedding reception.The Daily Star Sunday reports that Kate Middleton and groom Prince William are big fans of the musical pair, and that thanks to the fact they are currently in Europe promoting Beyonce's new track Run The World (Girls), the gig is a done deal.
A source said: "Both William and Kate are massive fans of Beyoncé and Jay-Z. They really wanted to make their big day even more special and what better way than by getting pop royalty to perform at the party?
"Will and Kate will have an official reception for hundreds of dignitaries before throwing a less formal bash for loved-ones. They both wanted to ditch traditions and make it more personal for them."
Check out the trailer to Beyonce's new single below.

TOWIE's Sam and Billy Faiers want to dress Kate Middleton!
Sam and Billy Faiers, two of the stars of the hit ITV2 show
The Only Way is Essex, have revealed that they would love to dress Kate
Middleton in a dress from their boutique.
The blonde bombshells revealed to Daily Mail that "She (Kate) always looks lovely, but she's always very smartly dressed. We'd love to see her in one of our dresses."
The announcement came at the launch of their Brentwood based boutique, Minnies.
But Kate Middleton wasn't the only clothes horse the pair wanted to get their hands on; Blake Lively and the Kardashian sisters were also coveted.
While the Kardashians' style isn't too far away from that of the Essex lovelies, we somehow can't see the future royal stepping out in one of their frocks. Her skin simply isn't orange enough.

Is Kate Middleton pregnant?!
What's this we hear on the grapevine? A new sprog on the horizon?
The latest gossip that's got the tabloid rumour mill on overdrive is that none other than royal-to-be Kate Middleton might be pregnant!
Of course, these rumours have been fiercely denied by the gang at Buckingham Palace. A pregnancy outside of wedlock; never let it be said!
However, according to website Parentdish, sources in the US have reported the couple are expecting their first child, and that the big news will break officially once they return from their honeymoon.
They quoted a source saying: 'She had originally been nervous about having morning sickness on the wedding day, but in the end she decided not to put it off, to just leave it up to fate.'
What do you reckon? Could there be truth to the tale?
