DUCHESS REVIEW || prince william of wales is married to miss catherine middletonβ¨
the big day dawned bright and sunny as catherine elizabeth middleton married william arthur philip louis of wales. before the ceremony, it was announced the couple would be known as the duke and duchess of cambridge, earl and countess of strathearn, and baron and lady carickfergus after their wedding. the morning saw crowds gathering in london and westminster abbey - where the wedding would later take place - fill with royals, politicians, and celebrities.
it was confirmed prince william would be wearing the ceremonial uniform of the irish guards and he arrived at the abbey accompanied by his best man and brother, prince harry. catherine arrived at the church with her father, having travelled from the goring hotel where she spent her final night as an unmarried woman. the brideβs wedding dress was designed by sarah burton for alexander mcqueen and shared significant similarities with grace kellyβs gown from her marriage to prince rainier of monaco. catherine also wore shoes by mcqueen and a veil, along with the queen cartier halo scroll tiara.
during the ceremony, the couple vowed to love and honour each other, before william gave catherine a ring made of welsh gold. william himself opted not to wear a ring. the couple then travelled to buckingham palace by carriage, accompanied by the bridal party in two other carriages, the queen and prince philip, and the parents of the bride and groom. other guests arrived at the palace in coaches. during the famous balcony display, the couple gifted the crowd with two kisses, before leaving buckingham palace in a blue aston martin, before changing into their reception clothes and returning to party the night away.
