LONDON, England (AP)- Prince William and Catherine Middleton were pronounced husband and wife, after five months of breathless hype and anticipation for Britain’s royal wedding, a ceremony that was expected to be watched by as many as two billion people.
As the couple said “I do,” the crowd on The Mall erupted into cheers, the ceremony coming through on loudspeakers.
About 1,900 guests were in attendance at Westminster Abbey, including soccer star David Beckham and musician Elton John.
All eyes were on the lacy white gown with the low neckline that Kate Middleton wore to her wedding.
It was designed by Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen and was kept a secret from the public until the wedding.
Middleton’s "something borrowed" was a tiara that was handed down to Queen Elizabeth on her 18th birthday.
