Royal wedding coverage

Two crazy kids in love tied the knot on Friday with billions of people watching. No Pressure! Prince William and Kate Middleton are now the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and an estimated 2 billion tuned in for the pomp and circumstance of it all. If you were not one of them, fear not, our bros at TV Squad had their VCR's on and taped, snipped and compiled all the highlights for us. From the dress to the walk down the aisle to the "I Will's" and the carriage ride ... all leading to a full-on make-out session. Just kidding about that last part. Enjoy!
