영국 왕족, 세계 50여 개국 정상 등 하객 1900명은 오전 8시 15분부터 식장에 입장해 신랑 신부를 기다렸다. 이들은 이 귀한 장면을 놓치지 않으려는 듯 휴대폰을 꺼내 결혼식장 주변 풍경을 카메라에 담았다.
오전 11시 결혼식이 시작됐다. 캐서린은 주례를 맡은 영국 성공회 수장 로완 윌리엄스 대주교 앞에서 "윌리엄을 사랑하고 위로하며 존경할 것"이란 '결혼서약'을 나직한 목소리로 읊조렸다. 주례의 성혼선언이 끝난 후 캐서린은 성당 입구에 있는 무명용사 묘비를 지나 윌리엄 왕자와 함께 사륜마차에 올라탔다. 이 마차는 엘리자베스 여왕이 국빈을 맞이할 때 쓰는 '스테이트 랜도'로 1902년 제작됐다. 1981년 찰스 왕세자와 고(故) 다이애나 빈도 결혼식 후 퍼레이드를 할 때 이 마차를 탔다.
12시 23분 신랑 신부를 태운 마차가 버킹엄궁으로 들어가고 1시간 뒤, 신랑 신부가 버킹엄궁의 발코니에 모습을 드러내자 힘찬 박수와 환호가 터져 나왔다. 첫 키스가 너무 짧다며 사람들이 "다시 한 번!"을 외치자 부부는 좀 더 길게 입을 맞춘 뒤 환하게 웃었고, 결혼식 분위기는 최고조에 달했다. 발코니 키스가 진행되는 사이 영국 공군기들이 버킹엄궁 상공을 축하 비행하는 이벤트로 결혼식은 끝났다. 그러나 사람들은 무언가 아쉬운 듯 쉽게 자리를 뜨지 못하고 런던 거리 2000여곳에서 열린 스트리트 파티에서 샴페인을 마시고 케이크를 먹었다.
LONDON — Prince William and Catherine Middleton sealed their wedding vows with a traditional kiss on the balcony of Buckingham Palace Friday as millions in London and around the world roared their approval.
The short peck — and a slightly longer smooch a couple of minutes later — followed a glittering service at Westminster Abbey in which the prince and the newly created Duchess of Cambridge were pronounced husband and wife.
The kisses were followed by a traditional fly-by of vintage and modern planes from Britain's Royal Air Force. About two hours later, the couple surprised crowds gathered outside the palace by emerging in a blue convertible Aston Martin and driving around for a few minutes. The car was decorated with a multicolored ribbon across the hood and dragged what appeared to be tin cans, a traditional British touch.
The couple took their vows at about 11:15 a.m. (6:15 a.m. ET) with the Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, officiating.
The prince, 28, dressed in the resplendent red tunic of the Irish Guards, appeared to initially struggle to get the wedding ring, made of Welsh gold, onto the elegant, tiara-bedecked Middleton's finger.
William said "I will" in a clear confident voice, when asked if he would "love, comfort, honor and keep" Middleton, 29. She appeared slightly emotional as she repeated her vows.
The prince was spotted winking at his new bride — the first "commoner" to marry a prince in close proximity to the throne in more than 350 years — after they exchanged vows.

According to the U.K.'s Press Association, Prince William told a joke at the altar before the ceremony, saying: "We were supposed to have just a small family affair."
The line was spotted by Tina Lannin, lipreader for O'Malley Communications, the Press Association said. She also spotted Prince Harry, William's best man, nervously comment "Right, she is here now," as Middleton arrived.
An estimated million well-wishers — as well as some protesters — flooded into the areas surrounding Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey and other London landmarks.
Some were up at dawn waving flags for television cameras under steely gray skies and cool temperatures. Cheers erupted as huge television screens showing the service began broadcasting at Trafalgar Square and Hyde Park.
