« Second Honeymoon | Gay Rights Activist Protest in the Royal Wedding »

The Prince of Wales and Camilla Parker Bowles have finally become man and wife - more than 30 years after their romance first began. More than 20,000 people cheered as they arrived at Windsor's Guildhall for their small private civil wedding. Afterwards they returned to Windsor Castle for a service of blessing led by the Archbishop of Canterbury. About 800 of the couple's family and friends attended including the Queen and Prince Philip. Prince Charles and the new Duchess of Cornwall entered arm-in-arm to make their solemn vows. The Duchess had worn an oyster silk basket-weave coat and chiffon dress for the civil ceremony, but changed into a porcelain blue silk dress for the blessing of her marriage. [photo: gettyimages]
