And according to one lip reader he even cracked a joke to his father-in-law, saying: "We're supposed to have just a small family affair".
Although via the Drudge Report it headlined "Networks employ lipreaders to catch private moments..." even though in the actual article it linked reported only one lipreader who caught the royal groom's comment to his father and no indication whether networks actually employed a bunch of lip-readers, either. If networks did employ lip-readers then I wonder how much those people were getting paid. Heck, maybe lip-readers are bad ones or fake ones and just wanted the cash and make up stories along the way? Who knows? At least the Drudge Report captured my attention on that one today. And that is what they're supposed to do. I do that sometimes yet some people actually take the time to whine about my methods. Gotta laugh whenever that happens.
ADDENDUM: More on the lip-reader and additional comments that were captured.

Aw, there you go again. Sneering at Deaf people and lording it over them. Lipreading is not a monopoly of the oralists, didn't you know?
It's not considered good form to mention royalty in Wales lol Especially since a Rugby match is on the same day, and Welsh people are republican..It's for kids, silly women, and Americans apparently jealous we have royals and you don't. American networks were queuing up to film this farce in London...
Not all deaf oralists to be superbu lipreaders.
I am culturally deaf and signing deaf. I could lipread much better than deaf oralists whose trained and trained.
I never had any trainings, but able to lipread people very well.

Well, I did a bit of lip reading, and was able to see William asking Kate: how about another kiss? and she nodded and they kissed for the second time.
I wasn't going to wake up at 3 am for this, I knew my kid would record it like she records just about everything. I just got done watching it, I fast forwarded through most of it. Just wanted to see the dress, the carriage ride and the kiss, and..yes, to see if I could lip read some of these royals. ;o)
Anony @10:20 AM,
How am I "sneering at Deaf people" and "lording it over them"?
Tell you what, how about leaving some of your conspiratorial thinkings and insecurity at home the next time whenever I decide to have a little fun with my blog title?
Er, right, RLM. Sure. Gotcha. *kitsch!*
I have complete disdain over royal weddings. Theyre overrated. And I'm glad I slept through it.
Anyways British intel utilize lipreaders a lot and they have a boosted status quo.
Rest assured that reading the lips of Brits is often no easy feat compared to Americans as Brits often have a stuff upper lip. I know this from personal experience and even had a situation where I thought I understood a Brit to say "city bar" so I went with him and ended up in a "titty bar", true story ;)
