In fact, it was everything we could have wished for, with moment after moment of glorious ritual and genuine emotion. Here we give you all the details from the day: the royal Princes, Catherine's stunning Alexander McQueen dress, the guests, the ceremony and the newlyweds' iconic kiss on the Buckingham Palace balcony.
