Prince William and Kate Middleton released new details Wednesday about their upcoming royal wedding. This includes the route they will travel on April 29 and the churchmen taking the service.

"Prince William and Miss Catherine Middleton have made more decisions on their upcoming wedding," Royal officials said on the Twitter.

Middleton will travel to Westminster Abbey by car through some of London's most historic sites including The Mall, Horse Guards Parade, Whitehall and Parliament Square, before the service starts at 11:00 am (1000 GMT).

 Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams will marry the
royal couple, the Bishop of London Richard Chartres will give the address and Dean of Westminster John Hall, the abbey's senior cleric, will conduct the service.

Clarence House annouced that after church the newly-weds will return in a procession by horse-drawn carriage to Buckingham Palace where The Queen will host a private reception. While Prince Charles will host a private dinner in the evening for the couple and close friends and family.

Prince William and Kate Middleton are both 28 years of age and William proposed to Kate on holiday in Kenya in October. They announced their engagement on November 16 after an eight-year courtship. The prince gave Middleton the diamond and sapphire engagement ring belonging to his late mother Princess Diana.

More details would be announced soon, including who will make Middleton's dress, who will be William's best man, and where the couple will spend their honeymoon.

April 29 has been declared a public holiday.
