Friday, April 29^th, the much anticipated marriage between Prince William and Catherine Middleton was officiated before the world, and in appropriate royal fashion there were no mishaps apparent — aside from what could’ve been an embarrassing catastrophe that is.

Catherine, allergic to animals, looked alarmed yet was reassured by her Prince, er Duke (pun intended). Neither the horse nor the rider were hurt.
