Prince William and Prince Harry's cousin, Maddison May Brudenell, has said "I do" in what's being hailed as "one of the most extraordinary society weddings of the year".The great-granddaughter of Lord Mountbatten, Maddison tied the knot with Canadian millwright and welder Bret Kapetanov in a quaint "15th-century village church," according to reports.The lovebirds first crossed paths in Canada when Maddison visited friends in Bret's hometown of Windsor, Ontario.The 30 year old bride, who is Prince William and Harry's third cousin and also the granddaughter of Lady Pamela Hicks - a lady-in-waiting to the late Queen Elizabeth and a bridesmaid at her 1947 wedding to Prince Philip, looked stunning in a white wedding gown and sparkling tiara, and was beaming with joy as she pledged "I will" to her handsome groom, also 30.

For her special day, Maddison chose a bouquet of hydrangeas and white and pink anemones, while her flower girls and pageboys included her two-month-old son Michael, and her children Daphne, seven, Phebe, five, and three year old Moses from her previous marriage.The Royal nuptials took place at St Mary The Virgin church in Urmston, Greater Manchester, which is also where Maddison was christened.

Speaking to Hello!, Madison said that she "felt really nervous and excited", reports the Express. She further revealed about her solo bridal walk and gave the poignant reason behind her decision. "I decided I'm a mum of four now and my own woman.

I can walk myself down," she explained. "Once I was there at the front with Bret, I felt safe. I kept looking into his eyes and everything was fine." The groom, who looked dapper in a three-piece morning suit with a black tailcoat and a top hat from Hawes and Curtis - Lord.
