Lucky Draw to attend royal wedding!!

London: The Great Britain is all set to witness the big, fat wedding of the  decade and few lucky enough will get a chance to rub shoulders with royals and heads of state at the historic Westminster Abbey service on April 29.

Prince William and Kate Middleton will invite members of the public to their wedding by holding a Willy Wonka-style 'Golden Ticket' draw, reports the British newspapers.

A source close to the St James' Palace planning committee revealed, "William and Kate always wanted the British people involved at a deeper level than simply holding street parties. They were crystal clear on this from the outset and were delighted when the idea of a random selection was mooted. Those lucky enough to land an invitation will only find out when it drops on their doormat."

According to the media reports, around 100 lucky winners will get to rub shoulders with royals and heads of state at the historic Westminster Abbey service on April 29.

They will also be invited to raise a toast to the future king and his queen at the lavish reception, expected to be held at Buckingham Palace.

The Royal couple were said to be ‘over the moon, on cloud nine’ after the date and venue of their big day was officially announced. But they are determined ordinary folk should be given the opportunity to celebrate with them alongside as the date of the wedding has already been officially announced as a national holiday.

The exact method of picking which lucky members of the public are to join the Royal shindig has still to be worked out. But it will be completely at random, just like Willy Wonka's Golden Ticket draw in the British novelist Roald Dahl's classic ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’.
