    Prince William looks at his bride Kate Middleton, as she holds her father Michael Middleton's hand during the royal wedding ceremony at Westminster Abbey.

    Prince William and Kate Middleton were pronounced husband and wife at Westminster Abbey Friday in a royal occasion of dazzling pomp and pageantry that has attracted a huge global audience.

    They took their vows at about 11:15 a.m. with the Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, officiating.

    The prince, 28, dressed in the resplendent red tunic of the Irish Guards, appeared to initially struggle to get the ring, made of Welsh gold, onto Middleton's finger.

    As Middleton, 29, arrived at the abbey, Buckingham Palace issued details of what she was wearing: a long-sleeved lace gown and veil, designed by Sarah Burton, creative director for Alexander McQueen.

    Thousands of replicas of Princess Diana's engagement ring roll off the production line

    ChinaFotoPress / Getty Images

    Workers produce replicas of Princess Diana's engagement ring at Yiwu Mingwang Jewellery Co in Yiwu, Zhejiang Province, China on March 16. As the Royal Wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton is fast approaching, more replicas are being produced in China. Although being far from the quality of the original, with rhine stones instead of sapphires, these rings sell only for US $3 in Yiwu and around US $30 overseas.

    By David R Arnott, NBC News

    Back in 1981 it cost a reported $60,000. But if you should find yourself in Yiwu, China, you can pick up a replica of Princess Diana and Kate Middleton's engagement ring for just $3. Discover the story of the real ring in this video:

    In 1981, Prince William's mother, Princess Diana, caused a stir when she picked out the 18-carat sapphire ring for her engagement. Now, her son's wedding announcement adds more lore to the ring. NBC's Lee Cowan reports.
