After months of waiting, Kate Middleton and Prince William today tied the knot at Westminster Abbey.
Wearing a flowing wedding dress with a long train and lace sleeves, Kate clutched a bunch of white flowers as she embarked on the short drive to Westminster Abbey, before starting her three-minute walk up the aisle to be with her groom.
As the happy couple exchanged vows, William appeared to have trouble slipping the ring onto Kate's finger.

But to the relief of all, he finally slipped the wedding band on and the ceremony passed without a hitch.
A staggering one million people had packed the streets of London to witness one of the most anticipated weddings the world has ever seen.
Well-wishers waved flags and many shed tears as William and his beautiful bride exchanged their vows.
In his address, the Bishop of London, the Rt Rev Richard Chartres, read a prayer penned by William and Kate.
The newlyweds asked for spiritual help to maintain focus on the things that mattered, and to be 'generous' with their 'time and love and energy'.

They also called on God to help them 'serve and comfort those who suffer' - a declaration of intent for their new life together.
The bishop, who has close links to the groom and his family, told the congregation: 'I pray that everyone present and the many millions watching this ceremony and sharing in your joy today will do everything in their power to support and uphold you in your new life.'
At the end of the service the congregation sang the National Anthem, with Kate's father in particular belting out the words with great vigour.
The Queen, who was the only person in the abbey not singing, kept her emotions to herself.
The newly-married couple then went off with their witnesses to sign the historic marriage registers away from public view in the tiny enclosed Chapel of St Edward the Confessor behind the altar.
