No wedding gifts, say William, Kate

Prince William and Kate Middleton don't want gifts for their wedding. Why? They'd rather the money goes to charity. The couple has asked their guests to donate money to good causes instead of buying them gifts.

Prince William and Kate Middleton have asked the guests to donate money to good causes instead of buying them gifts. The couple is due to exchange vows in London April 29 and ahead of the ceremony, they have asked guests to make donation to a charitable fund, which will distribute the money to their favourite good causes, including New Zealand's Christchurch Earthquake Appeal, founded in the aftermath of last month's massive tremor, reports dailystar.co.uk.
