Glossing over the uproar caused by the abrupt switch in the best man for Fiancé Antony Armstrong-Jones, the government revealed lavish decoration plans for the wedding day. In honor of Princess Margaret Rose's second name, nearly a million fresh roses are to be strung on 60-ft. arches between the palace and Clarence House, the London home of the princess.
