It's the wedding of the year and everybody is invited!
Well, that's not quite true. We can't offer you an actual invitation to Prince William and Kate Middleton's big day – all 1,900 of those have already been allocated 1 – but we are offering you a very special way to get involved.
From this week, bbcukchina.com is giving you the opportunity to send your best wishes to the couple. You can write in Chinese, but why not put your goodwill 2 message in the language the couple speak?
