Peter Phillips became the first of the Royal family's younger generation to marry yesterday, leaving everyone wondering who will be next to wed?
Peter, 30, married Canadian Autumn Kelly, also 30, in front of the Queen and other royal family members in St George's Chapel in Windsor.
Following the nuptials, royal watchers are turning their attention to the family's other young royals in anticipation of the next regal wedding.
Kissing cousins: Will bridesmaid Zara Phillips or Prince Harry be next to wed their respective partners?
The most eagerly-anticipated wedding of all would, of course, be heir to the throne Prince William, 25, and his long-term love Kate Middleton, 26.
Despite a brief split last year, the couple have been dating for over four years after meeting at St Andrew's University as students.
Phillips and Kelly's wedding yesterday also marked the first official outing for Prince Harry's girlfriend Chelsy Davy.
The Zimbabwean student, currently studying at Leeds University, was introduced to the Queen for the first time at the church.
Harry, 23, and Chelsy, 22, have been dating since 2004 after meeting during the Prince's gap year.
Another royal couple who have passed the four year mark is Peter's sister Zara Phillips, 27, who followed Autumn down the aisle as a bridesmaid on Saturday, and rugby player Mike Tindall, 29.

The couple have taken a step further than the rest of the young royals and have been living together in Zara's cottage on Gatcombe Park Estate in Gloucestershire for several years.
In a recent interview, Zara admitted she saw marriage to Mike in the future.
She said: "Well, he hasn't asked yet. I'm old-fashioned: I think they should ask you. Everyone at the rugby club seems to be getting married and having babies so they keep asking me, 'What about you?.'"
Young love: Princess Beatrice, 19, is dating American Dave Clark, 25
The least likely royal to marry anytime soon is Princess Beatrice, who at the relatively tender age of 19, is only a year into her relationship with American boyfriend Dave Clark, 25.
Meanwhile, William and Kate are flying to the private Caribbean island of Mustique next week for a romantic holiday.
Palace insiders said William's decision to ask Kate to stand in for him at Phillips's wedding yesterday underlined the strength of their relationship ? and that their break would give them a chance to discuss their future.
After the holiday, the Prince, 25, will start a three-month attachment with the Royal Navy.
