The Royal Wedding, as you'd expect, was featured on virtually every newspaper cover in the world on Saturday. Of 789 front pages we surveyed on the Newseum.org website, 688 -- or 87 percent -- of them covered the wedding; 101 did not feature the Royal Wedding whatsoever.

The most popular image used by those that did was "The Kiss" (335), though there were a few -- including the Times of London and New York Times -- that opted for a shot of the happy couple speeding away from Buckingham Palace in a convertible Aston Martin.

And at least two -- the Philadelphia Daily News and Chile's Las Ultimas Noticias -- chose to focus on Kate's sister, Pippa.
