Very REGAL, eh?!?!
Prince William and Catherine 'Kate' Middleton have officially become Man and Wife as the royal couple tied the knot at Westminster Abbey in London earlier today (April 29th).
During the vows, it was revealed that the couple will be referred to by their new titles, William now dubbed the Duke of Cambridge while Miss Middleton is now referred to as Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge.
Now, for the most important issue at hand, Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge wore an Alexander McQueen wedding gown (a fitted white V-neck gown with a long-sleeved lace overlay, designed by McQueen creative director Sarah Burton). SHOCKER! Many were not expecting Kate to go with the late designer, but she shocked many of us!
"It has been the experience of a lifetime to work with Catherine Middleton to create her wedding dress, and I have enjoyed every moment of it," Burton said in a statement. "It was such an incredible honour to be asked, and I am so proud of what we and the Alexander McQueen team have created. I am delighted that the dress represents the best of British craftsmanship."
Although I wasn't a huge fan of the dress (kinda boring), as most brides do, she looked very pretty today! Almost had a glowing effect.
As for the wedding vows, Prince William repeated: "I, William Arthur Philip Louis, take thee, Catherine Elizabeth, to my wedded wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse," William vowed. "For richer, for poorer. In sickness and in health. To love and to cherish, till death us do part."
Prince William wore the scarlet uniform of the Colonel of the Irish Guards and brother (and best man) Prince Harry wore the uniform of Captain of the Household Cavalry.
Kate arrived to the Abbey in a burgundy-and-black-colored Rolls-Royce, not a carriage, opting for a "lower-key arrival."
Tons of photos under the break.....
