Only a handful of church officials were involved in the preparations – and the 30 guests were invited at the last minute.
Even senior Downing Street aides were totally unaware the couple were about to tie the knot – and reacted with surprise when informed by The Sun.
Boris and Carrie chose to tie the knot in London’s main Roman Catholic cathedral, just 1.5 miles from Downing Street.
Visiting tourists were blissfully unaware it was about to host the wedding of the year.
But shortly after 1.30pm, the Byzantine-style church was suddenly cleared out. Staff told visitors the building was going into lockdown.
Half an hour later a limo carrying the bride swept into the piazza outside the main west door, just 300 yards from busy Victoria Station.
Carrie, 33, stepped out wearing a stunning long and flowing white dress. She chose not to wear a veil.
Bride and groom walked down the aisle to classical music and shared a kiss after the reading their vows.
Their year-old son Wilfred was there to see the happy occasion – along with two official witnesses.
The ceremony was carried out by Father Daniel Humphreys who had given the couple pre-marriage instructions, and even baptised little Wilfred last year.
Cops mounted a massive security operation around the ceremony. It’s believed armed police were standing by.
One witness said the cathedral went into lockdown for the half-hour service.
They said: “It was closed for about half an hour and they all came out after.
“It’s not very often we have weddings here, and when they came out they were all bungled into a car.
