Guests were treated to a wedding breakfast that gave a nod to Katherine's native country, including Welsh cheeses, black beef and lamb.
Katherine and Andrew got engaged in mid-April, after dating for six months. The writer was first introduced as her boyfriend when he accompanied her to Buckingham Palace to receive an OBE from Prince Charles in March. "Katherine is over the moon," her representative told People at the time of the proposal. This was not the first time the star had been engaged. In 2011 she announced that she was to wed former Blue Peter presenter Gethin Jones. Following their split, Katherine headed Stateside and now splits her time between London and New York.
