Dress the Royal Bride and Groom!

From today, Xbox LIVE members will be able to take part in a light-hearted poll entitled ‘Dress the Royal Bride and Groom’ in which they will be able to vote on a selection of wedding outfits for the Royal Couple. Accessible through a slate on the dash until April 1st, we are encouraging both free and Gold LIVE subscribers in the UK to pick from four very different dress options. Needless to say, the end result will have no bearing on the actual Royal Wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton!

We look forward to revealing the results of this poll next week. Don’t forget to cast your own vote for your favourite royal get-up!
