AceShowbiz - One of the biggest weddings in 2018 arrived in May when Prince Harry and Meghan Markle officially tied the knot on Saturday, May 19 at St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle. Followed by 10 bridesmaids and page boys, including Harry's four-year-old nephew Prince George and three-year-old niece Princess Charlotte, the former "Suits" actress walked up the steps of the church in an exquisite white dress with flowing train and long lace veil designed by Givenchy artistic director Clare Waight Keller. She completed her stunning bride look with the Queen Mary Diamond Bandeau Tiara, made in 1932 and borrowed from Queen Elizabeth II.
In the procession, which was attended by famous figures including Abigail Spencer, Priyanka Chopra, James Corden, Amal and George Clooney among others, Prince Charles replaced Meghan's father Thomas Markle to walk her down the aisle. Thomas was unable to attend the nuptials since he was suffering from health issues.
During the ceremony, which was conducted by Dean of Windsor David Conner, U.S. Bishop Michael Curry made a passionate address while the guests were treated to a gospel rendition of 1961 song "Stand by Me" by Karen Gibson and The Kingdom Choir. Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, officiated the marriage vows, with Harry and Meghan then exchanging wedding bands.
One of the sweet moments from the nuptials was when the camera caught Harry whispering to his bride, stating the words, "You look amazing." The happy couple later announced in October that they are expecting their first child together.
