St. Paul's Cathedral was chosen as the venue for the wedding of Princess Diana and Prince Charles in 1981 due to its grandeur and historical significance, offering a more intimate setting compared to Westminster Abbey. The cathedral's stunning architecture and spacious interior allowed for a large public celebration, reflecting the couple's high-profile status. In contrast, Westminster Abbey is traditionally associated with royal ceremonies but may have felt more formal and less personal for such a significant event. Ultimately, St. Paul's provided a unique backdrop that resonated with both the couple and the public.
