Held at St Paul's Cathedral, the event was watched by a congregation of 3,500 and an estimated global TV audience of 750 million.
Lady Diana arrived from Clarence House for the late morning ceremony in the Glass Coach with her father, Earl Spencer.
She wore an Emanuel designed ivory taffeta and antique lace gown with a 25ft (7.62m) train. Charles was attired in the full dress uniform of a naval commander.
The Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Robert Runcie, led the traditional Church of England service, assisted by clergymen from many denominations.
Wedding day nerves were apparent during the ceremony. Diana mixed up the Prince's names and calling him Philip Charles Arthur George, rather than Charles Philip. The groom referred to "thy goods" rather than "my worldly goods".
After the private signing ceremony, the Prince and Princess of Wales walked back down the aisle to Elgar's Pomp and Circumstance.
The newlyweds took the open-topped State landau to Buckingham Palace where they emerged on the balcony for a public kiss. They were later driven over Westminster Bridge to catch the train to Romsey in Hampshire. They honeymooned on the Royal Yacht Britannia, and this 12-day cruise through the Mediterranean to Egypt was followed by a stay at Balmoral.
