Plus: vows and programs and new pictures, oh my!

(NEWSER) - The big day is nearly upon us, so it's even easier to get your fix of news about tomorrow's royal wedding. Highlights:

• Some people were a bit miffed to learn that Syrian ambassador Dr. Sami Khiyami was on the guest list, considering how many pro-democracy demonstrators have recently been killed in his country. In light of that fact, Buckingham Palace and the Foreign Office have now determined that his presence "would be unacceptable and that he should not attend," the Telegraph reports.

(NEWSER) - With just three days left before the royal wedding, the inevitable complaints of guest list snubs are coming to the surface. News came out over the weekend that the last two British prime ministers weren't invited, and now the New York Times notes that some of Princess Diana's close friends were also excluded.
