Zara Phillips married Mike Tindall at Canongate Kirk church in Edinburgh on Saturday, attended by guests including The Queen, The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince Harry, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, rugby player Johnny Wilkinson and Coronation Street's Katherine Kelly. As previously reported, the bride wore an ivory silk satin gown by royal favourite Stewart Parvin and a tiara given to her by her mother, Princess Anne.
The event started on Friday with a drinks reception aboard the royal yacht Britannia, followed by the wedding ceremony on Saturday. Guests celebrated the reception at Holyrood House, where they enjoyed a sit-down dinner, with Scottish venison and lobster, followed by music from a jazz band. Best man England rugby player Iain Balshaw started the speeches commenting on how Tindall's life had changed since he started dating Phillips."He's gone from a Ford Mondeo to an Audi to a Range Rover to a chauffeur-driven car," he told guests. Festivities reportedly continued until 2am.
