Do you enjoy ceremonies where people profess their love for one another? Are you a fan of adorable children all dressed up and throwing flowers on the ground? Well then, you're going to really love the photos from Pippa Middleton and James Matthews' wedding on Saturday, May 20. The couple walked down the aisle before many of us in the U.S. were even waking up. That makes it all the more exciting that you'll get to start your day with wedding pictures that will give you such pure joy. Who knows, maybe you'll even shed a few happy tears. (No judgment here.)
While hopping on a plane to London is a little pricey, you can simply scroll through the photos from the big event and pretend like you were there. Plus, I hate to break it to you, but according to People, it was a "stunning private ceremony," meaning you pretty much had to be royalty (or you know, close to royalty) to be in attendance.
But again, don't feel bad — the photos seriously are almost as great as attending IRL. There's everything from pictures of Kate Middleton leading a group of kids to the ceremony, to snapshots of Kate's husband, Prince William, standing alongside his brother Prince Harry. And, of course, you can't forget about the newlyweds themselves.
The Bride & Groom
... and a whole crew of adorable kids. Look at those little outfits!
Kate Leading The Way
Unsurprisingly, she's a total boss. And that outfit? So chic.
Newlywed Joy
That sweet smirk and wave say it all. Like, "Hello, entire world. Yes, we are now married and couldn't be more thrilled."
The Kiss
Literally just like a fairytale.
Princess Charlotte & Mom
Of course, Princess Charlotte stole the show at her aunt's wedding. Is that even a question?
Big Sis Helping Out
Not only do we get a glimpse of the Duchess of Cambridge helping out her sister, but also there's a back view of that stunning dress.
Keeping Things In Order
To be quite honest, I don't know how this ceremony could've gone smoothly without Kate's help. Here she is again, keeping things in order.
Another Sweet Moment
Let's all let out a collective, "Awwww!"
All About The Bride
She couldn't look happier about her big moment.
Prince George & Princess Charlotte
Look at them! Just look. George and Charlotte clearly take their wedding duties — page boy and bridesmaid, respectively — very seriously.
Another Pair Of Royal Siblings
Princes William and Harry looking dapper — but also very serious.
On The Way To The Ceremony
Pippa is all smiles with her dad, Michael. Also, how cool is that car?
Behind-The-Scenes
This is one of those snapshots that truly will make you feel like you were there. (Also, look closer to see that Kate is always camera-ready.)
The Perfect Group Shot
Is there a sweeter wedding photo in existence? I think not.
I don't know about you, but I suddenly don't even mind that my invitation got lost in the mail. The pure joy in these wedding photos is contagious. Congrats to the newlyweds!
