the meaning of "the wedding of the year"
the passage is from BBC:
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 – but we are offering you a very special way to get involved.

The pattern:
/the XYZ of the year/ means that in the future when the year's XYZs will be
remembered, this will stand out for importance;
the implication is that this will be or was the most important.
The expression is usually reserved for events with positive or neutral meanings,
like sport competitions.
/the wedding of the year/: the most important wedding for the year;
it can be said now as weddings are planned in advance.
