Polam Hall Junior School celebrated the royal wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton in April 2011 by dressing up in wedding attire and reenacting scenes from the wedding. Students and teachers tried on fancy hats, created wedding bouquets, and pretended to get married in the school marquee or church. They imitated moments like the bride's arrival by vintage car and the newlyweds' first kiss. The mock wedding celebration allowed the school to share in the excitement of the royal nuptials.
