Royal wedding marks crucial moment for Spain's monarchy

Even torrential rain failed to dampen Spain’s spectacular royal wedding, according to the country’s newspapers today, with all highlighting that, apart from the glamour, the event marked a crucial moment for the future of the monarchy.

“A ‘Yes’ in the rain,” was the front-page headline of the centrist daily El Mundo. Left-leaning El País heralded the couple as “The Kings of the 21st Century.”
