It may have been a grand wedding with almost 2,000 guests packed into Westminster Abbey for the service, but the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge managed to make the historical day a very personal one.
Kate had her sister Pippa as her maid of honour while Prince William chose his younger brother Prince Harry as his best man.
Harry kept up best man tradition by giving a speech at the wedding reception - and according to many of the guests it was the highlight of the big day, even if he did make Kate cry.
