The bridal party features Eliana Thurston, Maliyah and Malakai Thurston, Lady Bridgette Houser Jones, HRH Prince Colin of Irenda, Adrianna Thurston, and HRH Prince William III of Simdonia.
The wedding ceremony was performed by Lionel, Eye of Jacob as he gives his sermon and blesses the couple with the watchers' blessing.
{Eye of Jacob} As you embark on your journey together, there are three important blessings from the Watcher that you must receive. Firstly, you shall be granted The Watcher's Absolution, which will absolve you of any past sins and allow you to move forward together without any hindrance.
{ Eye of Jacob} Secondly, you shall be granted the Watcher's touch, which will protect the holy union that you are creating here today. Lastly, you shall be granted the Watcher's Blessing, which will assure you that the Watcher loves and cherishes you both individually and as a couple, and will always be with you.
{Eye of Jacob} It is now time for you to declare your intention in front of the Watcher and all who have gathered here today, as you have received Jacob's Trilogy of Praise. Ethan, will you take Andrea Everly Thurston as your lawfully wedded wife?
{Ethan} I do.
{Eye of Jacob} Andrea, do you take Ethan Alexander David George to be your lawfully wedded husband?
{Andrea} I do.
{Eye of Jacob} By the watchers blessing I pronounce you husband and wife.
The newlywed couple are seeing breaking away from tradition as they share a kiss during the ceremony.
Congratulations to the newlywed couple as they embark on this new journey together.
The newlywed couple can be seen giving an expression of respect to TM King Andrew and Queen Anne.
The crowds cheer as the newlyweds walk out of the Cathedral to the carriage where they make their journey back to Renard Palace for the reception.
The royals begin a new tradition by appearing on the balcony of the Palace to wave to the millions of Whitmorians as their way of making their people feel included on their big day.
On this day, the newlyweds started a new tradition by sharing a public kiss on the balcony, something the royals had never done before.
