While the nation celebrates Prince William and Katherine Middleton saying "I do" in front of millions, they won't be the only happy couple with something to celebrate.

At 2pm, Lee Durden, 27, and Karen Thomas, 27, will also wed in front of their friends and family at Turkey Mill in Maidstone.

The couple, from Ditton, have been dubbed the Kent Messenger and kmfm's own "royal couple" after we discovered they were getting married on the same day as Prince William.

We have followed their preparations for the big day with regular chats on air and in the paper. We wish them well for their married life together.

Check out this week's Kent Messenger to see how the two weddings measure up against each other.
