   Prince Willam's fiancee Kate Middleton leaves Westminster Abbey with
   her mother Carole and Prince Harry, en route to Clarence House in
   London, April 28, 2011

   The [1]official wedding program of Britain's Prince William and Kate
   Middleton released Thursday reveals the couple's appreciation for the
   public's well wishes for their Friday wedding.
   Inside the program, the couple thanked the public for joining in the
   celebration of what they hope will be one of the happiest days of their
   lives.
   The souvenir program also revealed that Kate Middleton will not promise
   to "obey" Prince William in their vows but instead will recite " love,
   comfort, honor, and keep him".
   The couple made a rare pre-wedding appearance Wednesday at the final
   rehearsal for their nuptials.
   Roads around Westminster Abbey were closed while the rehearsal took
   place.
   Two billion people are expected to view the royal wedding on
   television.
   Many other onlookers are already camping out near the procession route,
   in hopes of getting a good view of the festivities.
   Some 5,000 police officers will be on hand to guard against potential
   threats.
   Rain is in London's forecast Friday, which mean a cold and damp
   experience for onlookers.
   Prince William and his bride plan to use the Glass Coach to travel from
   abbey back to Buckingham Palace if the weather is rainy. If the skies
   are clear, they will ride in an open air carriage.
