MONACO READY FOR ROYAL WEDDING

Go big or go home - and that is exactly what Monaco's Prince Albert II and fiancee Charlene Wittstock are doing for their royal wedding next month.


While Albert and Wittstock will officially tie the knot on July 2 at the Prince's Palace, the wedding festivities will begin two days before when the couple hosts a special Eagles concert for 15,000 people at a stadium in western Monaco.


According to the wedding program listed on the Prince's website, the two-hour concert will be open to residents of Monaco and free of charge.


A civil ceremony will take place the following day in the Throne Room of the palace, and it will be broadcast live on giant screens outside for the Monegasque people to watch.


Afterwards, a cocktail buffet will take place at the Palace Square, where the Mayor of Monaco will present a gift to the couple, followed by an evening reception at the Port Hercules and a "unique sound and light show."


On July 2, Albert and Wittstock, a South African Olympic Swimmer, will tie the knot for the second time during a religious ceremony at the palace's main courtyard, followed by a procession, an evening reception catered by chef Alain Ducasse, and a gala ball.
