I tutaki ano ia ki a Prince Edward i tetahi huihuinga atawhai i te tau 1993, ana ka tiimata te whanaungatanga o te tokorua i muri tata mai. I panuitia ta raua whakaipoipo i te 6 o Hanuere 1999. I tono a Edward ki a Sophie me te mowhiti whakaipoipo e whakaatu ana i te taimana oval e rua-carat e karapotihia ana e nga kohatu whakapaipai e rua e rite ana ki te ngakau i whakanohoia ki te koura ma 18-carat. I hangaia te mowhiti e Asprey me Garrard (i tenei wa ko Garrard & Co) me te utu tata ki te £ 105,000. Ko Sophie, e kiia ana he tata ki te Kuini mai i te timatanga o tana hononga ki a Edward, i whakaaetia ia ki te whakamahi i nga whare rangatira i Buckingham Palace i mua i tana whakaipoipo. I whakahaerehia te marena i te 19 o Pipiri o taua tau ano i te Whare Karakia o St George i Windsor Castle, he wehenga mai i nga marena o nga tuakana o Edward, he nui, he huihuinga tuuturu i Westminster Abbey, i te Whare Karakia o St Paul ranei. I te ra o to raua marena, i hangaia a Prince Edward hei rangatira tuku iho hei Earl o Wessex me te taitara tuarua o te Viscount Severn (i ahu mai i nga pakiaka Welsh o te whanau a te Kaituku). E mārama ana ka whakaarahia ia hei Duke o Edinburgh ina hoki taua taitara ki te Karauna. I noho te tokorua i to rātau marama honi ki Balmoral Castle. Whai muri i to raua hononga, ka neke te Earl me te Countess ki Bagshot Park, to raua kaainga i Surrey. Ahakoa ko to raatau kaainga takitahi ko Bagshot Park, ko ta raatau tari me te kaainga mana o Raanana kei Buckingham Palace. Na te whakahoutanga o Buckingham Palace i te tau 2018, i neke te tokorua i o raatau tari ki te Whare o St James.  Pātai: He aha te rā i whakau ai te tama a te Kuini ki a Sophie?
