On Thursday, Kitty praised her brothers and wrote a loving tribute to them. "The proudest moment of my life, without a doubt, was having my brothers walk me down the aisle," she said.
"Thank you to our family and friends for the most unforgettable weekend filled with more love and laughter and happiness than I have ever known."
She added: "It still feels like a dream."
Kitty is incredibly close with both of her brothers, and even attended Samuel's 18th birthday celebrations earlier in the year.

The 57-year-old, who had hoped to accompany divers on an expedition that would have looked for evidence of the sinking of The White Ship, the subject of his bestselling book, shared that his doctor advised him not to undertake the dive.
Following their wedding celebrations, Kitty and Michael decided to remain in Italy for their honeymoon, with pictures that appeared on MailOnline showing the newlyweds at the Amalfi Coast.
The couple chose to stay at a five-star clifftop hotel in the popular area of Positano, known for its romantic settings and quaint boutiques and cafes.
Kitty has a great love for Italy and its culture, however, we can't help but think that her honeymoon may have been inspired by her friend and royal family member Princess Beatrice.
The Amalfi Coast holds a very special place in Beatrice's heart, as it is where her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi proposed back in 2019.
