But now it’s been revealed the couple had an unexpected guest at their wedding – a lawyer.

It was in the (admittedly unlikely) event anyone objected to them getting married.

The Daily Mail reported the news after speaking to Dean of Westminster, Dr John Hall.

Dr Hall was the man who uttered the nail-biting words: “If any man can show any just cause why they may not lawfully be joined together let him now speak, or else hereafter for ever hold his peace.”

He told the Mail: “One of my colleagues said, ‘You really do need to have a lawyer handy just in case”, so we did.

“‘Even though we knew it was all going to be fine, we did actually have a lawyer waiting in the wings.'”

Thankfully the day went ahead at Westminister Abbey without anyone shouting out ‘they shouldn’t be married’.
