One thing that was striking about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's royal wedding today was how many genuine, joyous little moments the couple seemed to share. Even in front of a crowd of more than 600 guests, they found room for intimacy, and here are five of the sweetest examples of that.
1. Harry's face when Meghan walked down the aisle
Even before the ceremony began, it looked like Harry was barely keeping it together. But the pure emotion on his face the first time he caught sight of Meghan on their wedding day? So beautiful.
2. "You look amazing."
These were Harry's first words to Meghan when she reached the altar. Actual tears.
3. "I'm shitting it."
Further into the ceremony, Meghan evidently checked in with her husband-to-be to see how he was doing. His response was characteristically relatable.
4. The "children" smile
During the preface portion of the order of service, the Dean of Windsor spoke about the institution of marriage as "the foundation of family life in which children are born and nurtured". And as the word "children" was uttered, Harry couldn't hold back a little smile. (For what it's worth, Meghan has indicated that children are definitely in the couple's future.)
5. This giggly little moment
Even with all the millions of eyes on them, Harry and Meghan only had eyes for each other.
6. The thumb stroke
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Harry and Meghan are now officially husband and wife, following this morning's moving ceremony at St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle. The wedding vows came after a reading given by Prince Harry's aunt (and Princess Diana's sister) Lady Jane Fellowes, and a powerful address from the Most Reverend Michael Curry, the Presiding Bishop and Primate of the U.S. Episcopal Church. He told the beaming couple, "There's power in love."
