Also Couple Who Married On Same Day... Un Id'dnews...20/6/99\*scanned By Photo-cd\* Photographer:mark Large/ Daily Mail- Dept: News- Caption: Va Let us get in the time machine back to June, 1999 -- the previous century, friends! Sophs and Edward started dating in 1993, in case you're keeping track. From what I remember, people commented quite a bit at the time on her resemblance to Diana (who, as a reminder, was killed in 1997), and...I can definitely see it. I do think quite a lot of it is the hair, though. In other news, Edward is not a skilled jeweller, bless his heart. The tiara is pretty enough, if a little forgettable? ([It's rumored to be a new piece made out of a bunch of old pieces.](https://www.thecourtjeweller.com/2018/01/the-countess-of-wessexs-wedding-tiara.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)) I feel like she could carry off a larger piece. ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/03/shutterstock_editorial_307006o-1584561633.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Shutterstock (307006o) SOPHIE RHYS JONES WEDDING OF PRINCE EDWARD TO SOPHIE RHYS JONES AT WINDSOR CASTLE, BRITAIN - 1999 This veil seems like it's VERY AGGRESSIVE. Which is sort of romantic. I love a face veil. Had I e'er been wed, I would have gone for a very dramatic veil. ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/03/shutterstock_editorial_307000gm-1584561604.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Shutterstock (307000gm) PRINCE EDWARD AND SOPHIE RHYS JONES PRINCE EDWARD AND SOPHIE RHYS JONES WEDDING, SAINT GEORGE CHAPEL , BRITAIN - 1999 I think this dress is...fine!

I'm not sure who that is sitting next to Wills and his yellow tie, whilst in the background, Harry is VERY BORED of this ALREADY.

(l-r) Prince Charles Prince Edward And Prince Andrew Walk To St George's Chapel In Windsor Castle Near London For The Wedding Of Prince Edward And Sophie Rhys-jones. The Royal Couple Will In Future Be Known As The Earl And Countess Of Wessex. Charles looks typically dashing; I think of all three of these men, Andrew has sort of...devolved the most, visually. (I'd feel meaner saying that except he's terrible so.) ## Queen Elizabeth and Phil ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/03/shutterstock_editorial_307001cg-1584561624.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Shutterstock (307001cg) Queen Elizabeth II AND Prince Philip WEDDING OF PRINCE EDWARD TO SOPHIE RHYS JONES AT WINDSOR CASTLE, BRITAIN - 1999 PLEASE behold Her Majesty's HAT!

When looking to make sure I didn't miss anyone important at this wedding -- no foreign royals came; it was a pretty low-key do -- I ran across some early snaps of Sophs and, y'all, she used to wear some HATS. ## Trooping The Colour, 1999 ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/03/GettyImages-52111623-1584561305.jpg) LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM - JUNE 12: Sophie Rhys-jones Joins Prince Edward And The Queen Mother For The First Time In The Trooping The Colour Procession.
