LONDON, Apr 28 (Agencies): Royal wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton will take place Friday amid pomp and pageantry in Westminster Abbey. Prince and Kate have been deeply touched by the affection they have felt from many people since they became engaged, they said in a message on their official wedding programme. Their wedding programme, released Thursday a day before the event, offered thanks. "We are so delighted that you are able to join us in celebrating what we hope will be one of the happiest days of our lives," they said. During Friday's Westminster Abbey ceremony Middleton will vow to "love, comfort, honour and keep" but not obey Prince William.
