The words are spotted written on paper in back seat of Kate's car
Kate and William meet Dean of Westminster Abbey for final run-through
William to spend eve of wedding with his family for private dinner
Part of Whitehall near abbey is cleared after bomb scare
We know that Kate Middleton won't promise to 'obey' at Westminster Abbey, but it seems the couple may have written their own vows for the royal wedding.
When Kate was photographed leaving her family home in Bucklebury yesterday there was a sheaf of paper visible in the back seat of the car that included a passage from an unrecognised work.
While many of the words were obscured, it read in part: 'With so much love within our hearts.'
While the passage could be from a separate reading, it opens the possibility that they have followed the example of many young couples and written their own vows for their special day.
Kate and Prince William were back together last night to hold last-minute rehearsals as the final countdown to Friday's Royal Wedding got under way.
Miss Middleton drove from the family home in to Clarence House, where the couple were said to have met the Dean of Westminster Abbey for a run-through of the wedding service.
Contrary to some reports, William and Kate were expected to spend last night together there before Kate moves into the nearby Goring Hotel in Belgravia today.
The couple have lived together at a rented farmhouse on in the island of Anglesey for the last year and friends said they saw no reason to be apart for any longer than necessary.

In line with tradition, however, Kate will spend her last night as an unmarried woman apart from the groom. Although she was offered the pick of palace apartments in which to stay, family-orientated Kate has opted to stay in the five-star Goring Hotel with her parents, Michael and Carole, sister Pippa and brother James.
A smiling Pippa, 27, and Carole, 56, left the family home shortly after Kate yesterday in a car filled with suit bags and headed straight for the hotel.
At lunchtime Kate’s father also arrived at the Goring in a Ford Transit van carrying the bridal party’s outfits.
A number of suit bags and boxes – some marked with Pippa’s name – were carried inside. One 8ft garment carrier was rumoured to be carrying Kate’s dress. More than 1,800 flowers have been delivered to the hotel, including pink and white hydrangeas and brilliantly-coloured geraniums.
Kate was later seen lugging boxes from the boot of her car and carrying them into Clarence House – a far cry from the treatment she will no doubt receive as Princess William of Wales.
She also excitedly hugged several members of staff as she chatted about her plans for the big day.
Prince William will spend the eve of his wedding having a private dinner at Clarence House with the Prince of Wales, Duchess of Cornwall and Prince Harry.
The couple then swept into Westminster Abbey for a final wedding rehearsal accompanied by best man Prince Harry, maid of honour Pippa Middleton and Kate's parents Michael and Carole.
Kate apparently 'squealed' with delight when she saw how the medieval building had been transformed.

'She was overwhelmed with how beautiful it looked - it was everything she had hoped for,' said an onlooker.
'Her parents were by her side the whole time, telling her how wonderful it was going to be. She looked like any young bride, excited about her big day.'
The couple arrived at the Abbey from Clarence House just before 7.30pm. Harry travelled with his brother and future sister-in-law, apparently cracking jokes on the way.
The roads around the abbey were already filled with well-wishers and camera crews.
Waiting at the abbey were the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, who is marrying the couple, the Bishop of London, Richard Chartres, who will give the address, and the Dean of Westminster, Dr John Hall, who is conducting the service.
Kate, 29, practised walking up the aisle with her father, who then handed her over to the groom before the couple went through their vows.
Showing no sign of nerves, the 29-year-old bride-to-be, dressed in a demure cream suit, set off from Berkshire at 8.45am -- the last time she will leave home as a single woman -- with only her police protection officer for company.

The couple are also expected to rehearse their vows at the abbey before the big day.
A royal spokesman said: 'There will be final preparations happening over the last couple of days.'
With less than 48 hours to go, preparations are now at fever pitch, with family, military and security staff making last-minute adjustments.
As hundreds of members of the Armed forces had a dress rehearsal of the drill ahead of the ceremony, Kate's family was also on the move today, heading for the capital - together with all the essentials for her wedding to Prince William.
A suspiciously long dress bag, together with hat boxes and other finery, belonging to the Middleton family were seen moving into the luxury Goring Hotel.
Just around the corner from Buckingham Palace, the five-star establishment will be home to Kate's family and friends, who will decamp there for the wedding.

By the time the royals sit down around the table on Thursday evening at Clarence House, their official London home, all the preparations should be in place for William's big day.

Those said to be attending include the Duke of York and his daughters Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, the Earl and Countess of Wessex, the Princess Royal and Zara Phillips and her fiancé England rugby star Mike Tindall.
A St James's Palace spokesman said: 'The Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall will be having a private dinner with Prince William and Prince Harry on Thursday evening at Clarence House.
'As such, the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall will be able to attend the drinks reception at the Mandarin Oriental hotel, but not the dinner.'
