Kim Sears wore a "Swarovski crystal-encrusted gown by Jenny Packham", according to Hello magazine, with a "Swarovski crystal Kalmia floral headdress" and a pair of "Jimmy Choo strappy heels" - though a few drops of rain fell as she entered the church, leading her quartet of bridesmaids to pop umbrellas up quickly.

The rain did not last long and Andy Murray's mother Judy, the British Fed Cup captain, waved joyfully to the crowd as she watched her son get married to a girlfriend he first met at the age of 17.
