Within the medieval magnificance of Westminister "For better for worse," intoned the Archbishop of Canterbury. Abbey, all went smooth until Margaret began repeating her vows No reply.

ured steps along the long blue carpet spread down the central vastness of the abbey. Prince Philip, her brother-in-law, was beside her. She was the picture of a beautiful bride. Her sparkling white dress its veil spread out behind her like light spray in the sunshine set off her beauty. Armstrong-Jones with his best man, Dr.

Roger Gilliatt, was waiting for his princess. He sat on the ground floor of the abbey, actually laughing and even joking until the moment Margaret arrived. Then he became serious, but as Margaret reached him he flashed her a winning smile. She smiled back. Stepping to her side, Tony walked with her, up the short flight of steps to the pink-cushioned kneeling benches.

Margaret's back was now to the star-studded audience, including her sister. Queen Elizabeth II. Dressed in his golden and white mitre and cape, the archbishop asked Tony: "Antony Charles Robert, will thou have this woman to thy wedded wife, to live together after God's ordinance in the holy estate of matrimony?" In the great abbey, the archbishop's usually deep, booming voice was almost lost. "Wilt thou love her, comfort her, honor, and keep her, in sickness and in health, and forsaking all other, keep thee only unto her, so long as ye both shall live?" Tony's "I will" came on top of the archbishop's last word. Her Words Almost Unheard Although microphones dangled above the high altar, her first words went almost unheard.

Her voice was stronger, however, when she and Tony clasped right hands. Just after this she missed her line and hesitated. As they knelt before the archbishop, a slight tremble seemed to shake her veil. As a princess marrying a commoner, she might have been excused if she stammered in vowing to "obey him and serve him." But she negotiated that beautifully. Tony's voice was warm as he repeated: "With this ring I thee wed Margaret flashed him a quick smile.

"To those whom God hath joined together," said the archbishop, "let no man put asunder." His words the trumpet fanfares the words of the Christian ritual all were heard by the crowd of a million outside. As the newlyweds emerged from the abbey, the throngs See MARGARET, Page 20 "For better for worse," the archbishop said again. She then repeated the words quietly, her voice in a lower key than usual. It was part of the pledge by the bride in the Anglican wedding service: Margaret Rose, take thee, Antony Charles Robert, to my wedded husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love, cherish and to obey, till death do us part The groom spoke his wedding responses clearly and firmly as he knelt with Margaret before the archbishop, Dr. Geoffrey Fisher, who pronounced them man and wife at exactly 11:45 a.m.

It was the first time in four centuries that the daughter of an English king had married a commoner. Outside, a million Londoners and tourists roaded cheers for the newlyweds. It was a warm, sunny day. The scene in downtown London was one of festive magnificencestately, crown-topped poles flying silken banners, one arch with 30,000 roses, flags everywhere. Something Old, Something New Inside the 900-year-old abbey there was the smell of musk, old stone and wood mingling with the fragrance of spring flowers and French perfume.

There were trumpets, the scarlet and gold vestments of the clergy but most colorful of all was the bride. A wide diamond tiara blazed on her head. Her gown was of white silk organza untrimmed, high necked, long sleeved and full A high chignon added inches to her 5 foot 2. A veil of white illusion tulle sprang from each side of her head above the ears, pulled back at the shoulders and falling to the floor. When the bride choked up, it was the only hitch in a wedding of truly fairytale splendor.

It was like the turning of a page of history. For up until today here was probably the best known bachelor girl in the world royal, beautiful, rich but until she met Tony, a girl with a sparkle in her eye but an ache in her heart. Five years ago she renounced handsome Group Capt. Peter Townsend, her sweetheart since teen-age days. She did it because of her strong sense of duty to the church, the throne and the nation.

A World War II ace, Townsend was a divorced man. The Church of England frowns on divorce. The Townsend affair long over, Margaret is to quote one of her closest friends "blissfully happy." 'Never Have Two People' Shortly before she rode in a glass coach to Westminster Abbey today she spoke to the Queen Mother of hers and Tony's love, saying: "Never have two people been so much in love." And the light of love was in her eyes as she took her meas swt 1 i '1 iiiiiililpii IliSiliiil iiiiiliii ills ST'1 X'- NOW MAN AND WIFE The happy couple, Princess Margaret and Antony Armstrong-Jones, leaves Westminster Abbey after their wedding there.
