BBC royal correspondent Jonny Dymond said there were "lots of smiles and lots of nerves from the couple". | |
He said the bride kept breaking into a broad smile and the groom was delighted, but "both of them a little nervous too, their hands shaking together before they took their vows". | |
Princess Eugenie's dress was designed by Peter Pilotto and Christopher De Vos, who founded British label Peter Pilotto. | |
The dress features a neckline that folds around the shoulders to a low back that drapes into a full length train. | |
The low back was a request from the bride, who wanted to show her scars from surgery to correct scoliosis when she was 12. | |
