30 JULY 2011

On the deck of the royal yacht Britannia, the party was in full swing.

The air was heavy with excited chatter and laughter as guests sipped from champagne flutes.

But amidst the hubbub of activity, Mike Tindall and Zara Phillips were in their own little world.

The pair gazed lovingly into each other's eyes then leaned in for a kiss, smiles lighting up their faces.

A guest laid his hand on the bride's shoulder, trying to get her attention, to no avail. He would just have to wait.

This loving snapshot perfectly captures the mood of the nearlyweds – on the brink of starting the next chapter of their lives.

 

So in love, and cherishing each other on the eve of their day of days.

The lingering glances, the private smiles and tender touches speak volumes.

It's hard to imagine a couple more in tune, or happier in each other's company.
