Kate Middleton and Prince William were, in fact, married today at Westminster Abbey.  (Sorry if you had her at 100-1 to jilt him at the altar.)  Her she is, with her father, on her way to Westminster Abbey this morning.

Kate Middleton enters church...and then entering the Abbey. The wedding dress was designed by Sarah Burton of the Alexander McQueen fashion house:

"The dress featured a strapless, Victorian style corset, underneath a high-necked, sculpted bodice in hand-made lace which contoured the waist and hips. The long, medieval-style sleeves and ultra-long train on the softly pleated ivory and white satin gazar skirt, which was held by her maid of honour, her sister Philippa, enhanced Ms Middleton's regal
bearing as she made her way, on the arm of her father, to the Abbey's Great West Door."

(You can spot the Queen behind them here, in fact, in yellow outfit and hat.)

The carriage is the 1902 State Landau -- the same one that carried William's parents, Prince Charles and Princess Diana, after their wedding in 1981.
