A souvenir placemat for the royal wedding of Britain's Prince William and Kate Middleton is pictured in a shop in central London, on January 20, 2011. Prince William, the second in line to the throne, and Kate Middleton announced their engagement in November after a seven-year romance that began at university.

April 29 has been made a public holiday throughout the kingdom.

Britain's Queen Elizabeth II (R) talks with Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge as they view the dress she wore for her royal wedding to Britain's Prince William at the annual summer exhibition at Buckingham Palace in central London, on July 22, 2011. Britain's Queen Elizabeth II has reportedly described as 'creepy' a new exhibition featuring the wedding dress worn by the former Kate Middleton when she married Prince William in April. The Alexander McQueen dress is being exhibited on a headless mannequin in the ballroom at Buckingham Palace, with the tiara and veil that the now Duchess of Cambridge wore, suspended above it.

A year ago today, history was made. The Royal Wedding was the kind of event that you will remember where you were for the rest of your life. OK, maybe not all of you will remember the epic day that Prince William and some random commoner (read: multimillionaire) Kate Middleton wed on April 29, 2011, but I certainly do. I stayed up all night with a few friends, alternating between sipping champagne and downing meat plates — all in celebration of the epic ceremony.

At 4 AM when it finally kicked off, it exceeded all of my expectations. Kate walked down the aisle in Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen (after months of intense speculation) and Wills looked like a freakin’ dreamboat. As I write this now, I am tearing up and just completely melting all over again (natch).

Since the Royal Wedding, Kate and Wills have taken the world by storm. Kate has slowly but surely been filling the enormously chic and generous shoes left by Wills’ mummy Princess Diana and they have been spotted  jet-setting all over the world for charity and promotional appearences. They even made a pit stop in Los Angeles, which sent Hollywood’s elite into a frenzy. (J.Lo, we’re talking about you, babe.)

In honor of this whirlwind first year of marriage, click through the gallery above for my favorite memories of the best couple in the ENTIRE WORLD!
