Royal Wedding: Zara Phillips Marries Mike Tindall
Zara Phillips and rugby star Mike Tindall participated in their own Royal Wedding on Saturday, but it was much lower key than the Royal Wedding of Prince William.
Phillips is Queen Elizabeth's eldest granddaughter and equestrian star, Tindall is a rugby star.
In the second Royal Wedding for Britain, Phillips wore a traditional ivory silk gown and a full-length flowing veil.
Crowds waited but she gave only the briefest glimpse to onlookers as she arrived at the central Edinburgh church for a 45-minute service.
After a wave to the crowds, Phillips stepped inside the church. The wedding service led by Rev. Neil Gardner was not being broadcast on television.
A huge cheer erupted as William and Middleton, now known as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, arrived to join the congregation, traveling with Prince Harry.
Middleton, wearing a biscuit colored coat, dress and angled hat won a warm reception as she waved to well-wishers, as did the queen and Duke of Edinburgh who arrived shortly before the bride.
Known better for her sporting achievements than royal heritage, Phillips is a world class equestrian who is likely to compete in the 2012 Olympics.
