The much-anticipated royal wedding has finally happened. And now we know the answers to some of the most vexing questions on the minds of people around the globe.

What dress will Kate Middleton wear? What will the wedding cake look like? Will she and Prince William kiss on the balcony? In reverse order yes, delicious and ivory, with lace sleeves designed by Sarah Burton.

About 1,000 Twin Cities Anglophiles showed up at Brit's Pub in downtown Minneapolis to learn those answers and enjoy the spectacle of the royal wedding. And we had a question for them -- What on earth are you doing here?
