We know that Kate Middleton won't promise to 'obey' at Westminster Abbey, but it seems the couple may have written their own vows for the royal wedding.



When Kate was photographed leaving her family home in Bucklebury today there was a sheaf of paper visible in the back seat of the car that included a passage from an unrecognised work.



While many of the words were obscured, it read in part: 'With so much love within our hearts.'

While the passage could be from a separate reading, it opens the possibility that they have followed the example of many young couples and written their own vows for their special day.

Kate and Prince William were back together today to hold last-minute rehearsals as the final countdown to Friday's Royal Wedding got under way.

Miss Middleton drove from the family home in to Clarence House, where the couple were said to have met the Dean of Westminster Abbey for a run-through of the wedding service.

Showing no sign of nerves, the 29-year-old bride-to-be, dressed in a demure cream suit, set off from Berkshire at 8.45am -- the last time she will leave home as a single woman -- with only her police protection officer for company.

She greeted her fiancé, 28, at his London residence for the meeting with Dr John Hall, who will conduct the service and be the first to welcome her when she arrives at the abbey with her father on Friday.

The couple are also expected to rehearse their vows at the abbey before the big day.



A royal spokesman said: 'There will be final preparations happening over the last couple of days.'

With less than 48 hours to go, preparations are now at fever pitch, with family, military and security staff making last-minute adjustments.

As hundreds of members of the Armed forces had a dress rehearsal of the drill ahead of the ceremony, Kate's family was also on the move today, heading for the capital - together with all the essentials for her wedding to Prince William.

A suspiciously long dress bag, together with hat boxes and other finery, belonging to the Middleton family were seen moving into the luxury Goring Hotel.

Just around the corner from Buckingham Palace, the five-star establishment will be home to Kate's family and friends, who will decamp there for the wedding.

Kate's mother, Carole, and sister Pippa, were seen driving out of their £1million home, seeming in high spirits, smiling at photographers and both dressed in classic navy outfits.

But for Her Majesty the Queen, it was business as usual.
