The groom, Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, is the eldest son of Charles, Prince of Wales, and is second in the line of succession to the British Throne and the thrones of fifteen other Commonwealth realms. The bride, Catherine "Kate" Middleton is the eldest of three children of Michael and Carole Middleton of Bucklebury, Berkshire. The Dean of Westminster, John Hall, presided at the service; the Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, conducted the marriage; Richard Chartres, the Bishop of London, preached the sermon; and a reading was given by the bride's brother, James. William's best man was his brother, Prince Harry, while the bride's sister, Pippa, was maid of honour. The ceremony was attended by the bride's and groom's families, as well as many foreign royals, diplomats, and the couple's chosen personal guests. After the ceremony, the couple made the traditional appearance on the balcony of Buckingham Palace. As Prince William was not the heir apparent to the throne, the wedding was not a full state occasion and many details were left to the couple to decide, such as much of the guest list of about 1,900.

Final preparations are under way in Stockholm ahead of the wedding of Princess Madeleine to banker Christopher O'Neill on Saturday. The 30-year-old princess is the youngest of King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia's three children and is fourth in line to the Swedish throne. Madeleine, who works for the World Childhood Foundation in New York, met her British born fiancé in the city, and they announced their engagement last December after two years of knowing each other. Following the wedding, the couple are expected to move back to the US where O'Neill, who has turned down the chance to take a royal title, will instead continue with his career working with a hedge fund. The couple made one of their final public appearances on Thursday afternoon, ahead of the wedding, along with the rest of the royal family to celebrate Sweden's national day.
