Prince William and Kate Middleton will release a music album from their royal wedding, but there's no word on whether Kanye West, Jay-Z, the Black Eyed Peas, Elton John or other reported musical invitees will make the cut.

Their April 29 nuptials in Westminster Abbey will be captured on 'The Royal Wedding: The Official Album' and will feature confirmed performances by the Chapel Royal Choir, the London Chamber Orchestra and the Fanfare Team From The Central Band of the Royal Air Force.

The album will be available for digital download the same day as the ceremony, then released on CD on May 5, which features a booklet full of the wedding play-by-play, including the order of service, readings, vows, hymns and blessings.

The royal wedding music album will be released by Decca Records, the classical music company that released audio albums of Prince Charles and Princess Diana's 1981 wedding, as well as the music from Diana's funeral in 1997.

"The wedding means so much to millions of people all over the world," says producer Anna Barry. "We have to capture every note and every nuance perfectly and have the recording ready within minutes of the end of the ceremony."

Apparently, the new royal couple will cash in even more on their big day. Apparently their vows will be available for purchase on iTunes just minutes after they both say "I do."

Sad....everything is about "cashing in" these days, is there nothing sacred anymore? It's not like this couple needs the money.
