步骤
STEP 1 Send the invitations

Send invitations that begin: "I am commanded by the Queen to invite you…." In the United Kingdom, the "I" being commanded is the Lord Chamberlain, the chief officer of the royal household. In your household, it could be anyone.

STEP 2 Pick out names
2.选择名字
Pick out extra names to use when exchanging vows. Only commoners have only one or two given names; the ruling classes have at least four.Just make sure they’re regal enough for a royal wedding.
挑选额外的名字,交换誓词时使用 。平民只有两个名字,而统治阶层至少有四个 。确保你挑选的名字具有王者风范,适合皇室婚礼 。

STEP 3 Book a carriage

Hire a horse-drawn carriage to carry the bride and groom from ceremony to reception. Publicize the path your carriage will take so people who haven't been invited can pay their respects. You can’t have a royal wedding without adoring subjects!
租用马车,搭乘新郎和新娘从婚礼到招待场所 。公布你们的马车要经过的路线 。这样未被邀请的人可以表达敬意 。没有尊重你们的观众又怎么称得上是皇室婚礼呢?

STEP 5 Lay down the rules

Instruct guests that they are not to touch the bride, the groom, or anyone in their immediate families without the person’s implied consent,such as an extended hand. Men should acknowledge a royal presence by bowing their head; ladies should curtsy.
向宾客介绍规定,没有许可,他们不能触碰新郎,新娘,或者他们的家人,比如握手 。皇室人员出现时,男士应该点头致意,女士们应该屈膝行礼 。
STEP 6 Arrange for a salute
6.安排行礼
Follow the tradition of Norway, Sweden, and Brunei and arrange for a 21-gun salute to announce that you are now husband and wife. Nothing like ending a royal wedding with a bang!
