<P> The Dean of Westminster , John Hall , presided at the service ; the Archbishop of Canterbury , Rowan Williams , conducted the marriage ; Richard Chartres , the Bishop of London , preached the sermon ; and a reading was given by the bride 's brother , James . William 's best man was his brother , Prince Harry , while the bride 's sister , Pippa , was maid of honour . The ceremony was attended by the bride 's and groom 's families , as well as members of foreign royal dynasties , diplomats , and the couple 's chosen personal guests . After the ceremony , the couple made the traditional appearance on the balcony of Buckingham Palace . As Prince William was not the heir apparent to the throne , the wedding was not a full state occasion and many details were left to the couple to decide , such as much of the guest list of about 1,900 . </P>
