Prince William and Kate oiddleton have been pronounced man and wife, marrying in an elegant ceremony at Westminster Abbey.
The couple will receive the titles of Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
William also became the Earl of Strathearn and Baron Carrickfergus, which means oiddleton will become the Countess of Strathearn and Baroness Carrickfergus.
The thunderous clouds that threatened to give way to rain held off for the newlyweds and the rest of the royal family as they were escorted by the Household Cavalry.
During the service, the couple couldn’t take their eyes off one another as they gave their vows without stumbling before Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams pronounced them husband and wife in front of millions around the world.
They composed a prayer for their wedding, read by the Right Rev. Richard Charters, Lord Bishop of London:
“God our Father, we thank you for our families; for the love that we share and for the joy of our marriage.
“In the business of each day keep our eyes fixed on what is real and important in life and help us to be generous with our time and love and energy.
“Strengthened by our union, help us to serve and comfort those who suffer. We ask this in the spirit of Jesus Christ. Amen.”
William and Kate were married in less than 15 minutes.
