While Charles had a very big and very publicised first wedding, he kept things relatively simple when he married Camilla. Because he and Camilla were both divorced, they had to marry in a civil ceremony, which was a first for the royal family. It took place at Windsor Castle, with Prince William and Camilla's son as witnesses, and was followed by a religious blessing at St George's Chapel. While the queen chose not to attend the civil marriage, she did attend the religious blessing and then hosted a reception in honour of the couple.
