Why didn't Prince William watch his bride walk down the aisle? Who was that little girl covering her ears and frowning while the newlyweds kissed on the balcony? Where can I get those gorgeous earrings Kate wore to her wedding? The last remaining mysteries of the royal wedding are solved, right here at Shine. Who was that adorable little girl frowning and covering her ears on the balcony during the big kiss?

In medieval times, much of Europe celebrated   March 25, the Feast of Annunciation, as the beginning of the new year. In 1582, Pope Gregory XIII ordered a new calendar (the Gregorian Calendar) to replace the old Julian Calendar.      The new calendar called for New Year's Day to be celebrated Jan. 1.
