BBC, TLC, SVT, TV4 and TV4 News broadcast the wedding live throughout the entire day for American, British and Swedish viewers. Angie wore a wedding dress designed by British fashion designer Alexander McQueen. Lady Kitty Spencer served as maid of honour while Prince Carl Philip served as best man. The bride and groom's nieces and nephews served as bridesmaids and pageboys. Angie was escorted halfway down the aisle by her father the Prince of Wales. She and Eric walked together for the other half. At the left of the altar sat the crown of Prince Karl XIII, the same crown that was present at the baptismal font at Prince Eric's christening.
After the wedding, the bride and groom rode a horse and carriage, leading a cortège from Stockholm Palace along its outer courtyard, through the streets of Slottsbacken, Skeppsbron, Slottskajen, Norrbro, Regeringsgatan, Hamngatan, Nybroplan, Nybrokajen, Hovslagargatan, Södra Blasieholmshamnen, Strömbron and finally arriving at the Logården of the Royal Palace.

On the balcony of the palace, Angie and Eric gave a short speech to the assembled crowd of well-wishers, asserting that "Sweden is a happy country." The King then "led the crowd in a traditional Swedish 'four cheers' for the couple."
