With the wedding started and lots of singing of hymns, it gives you time to look around at the congregation and study the bride and groom.

It's such a pleasure to see them thrilled to be there, after such a long path.

William, now 28, shows only the tiniest shades of the tot who captured our hearts with his mischievous grin.

Kate shows that she's everything William likely craved, a strong, intelligent woman who can hold her own and represent him with dignity and joy.

After taking their vows and Kate donning her ring, they're joined, with their lives in front of them.
