Katie Austin and Gordon Fryer from Romsey in southern England ran the race with the bride's parents who gave her away at the ceremony in the Bridge Master's dining room on Tower Bridge.
The groom and his father-in-law wore traditional waistcoats, wing-collared shirts and cravats, but with shorts instead of trousers.
The bride wore afull lengthivory wedding dress with train above her running shoes - an outfit she conceded she had never run in before Sunday.
Despite rain, the bride arrived at the bridge with her make-up and hair still in place.
The 80-minute ceremony may havescupperedtheir chances of running a new personal best time, but the couple emerged beaming to a shower ofconfettiand cheers from guests and well-wishers.
The newly-weds and the Austin then immediately got back onto the racecourse and continued running without speaking to waiting reporters.
Felix Limo of Kenya led the men's race as Deena Kastor won the women's title at the London marathon on Sunday.

英國一對情侶在倫敦展開了一場另類的“私奔”。他們身穿結婚禮服參加馬拉松長跑比賽，在跑步途中舉行了婚禮。
凱蒂·奧斯汀和戈登·弗耶來自英國南部的羅姆西。新娘凱蒂的父母也一同參加了長跑比賽，并參加了在塔橋上的“橋主”餐廳舉行的結婚儀式。
新郎和他的岳父上身穿著傳統的馬甲和硬翻領襯衫，打著領結，下身沒有穿長褲，而是穿著短褲。
新娘身著一襲象牙白全身禮服，婚紗的裙擺正好落在跑鞋上面。凱蒂說，周日之前她從沒試穿過這身行頭。
盡管天飄細雨，新娘跑到塔橋時，臉上的妝容和發型都沒有被破壞。
整場婚禮進行了80分鐘，耽誤的時間使他們沒法取得比賽佳績，但是伴著飄舞的五彩紙屑，還有賓客和祝福者的歡呼聲，夫妻二人笑逐顏開，喜氣洋洋。
婚禮之后，這對新人及奧斯汀夫婦立刻返回跑道繼續參加比賽，沒有和等候的記者們說話。
上周日的倫敦馬拉松比賽中，肯尼亞選手費力克斯·利馬奪得男子組冠軍，而美國選手黛娜·卡斯托爾則問鼎了女子組冠軍。
