Anyone who watched Prince William and Princess Catherine's wedding knows that it seemed to go forever, but that wasn't the case for Pippa Middleton and James Matthews. As far as high society weddings go, their ceremony was a short and sweet 45 minutes, and the actual events of the nuptials were intentional and meaningful to the couple.
After arriving at St. Mark's Church, the bride walked into the venue adorned with candles and beautiful floral arrangements. The Winchester Cathedral Choir was there to provide incredible hymnals, and they performed "I Vow To Thee, My Country," "Be Thou My Vision," and "Tell Out, My Soul," specifically. Pippa and James' family members then took turns delivering passages. Topping off the list, Catherine offered a prayer as her contribution to the ceremony.
It was certainly a family affair if there ever was one, with Catherine overseeing the young bridesmaids and page boys, and Spencer serving as the best man and usher – he stood at the church door and greeted all the guests as they arrived. Despite all the eyes on the event, everyone seemed to be cool, calm, and collected.
