The royal wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, in Windsor on May 19, had both pomp and circumstance. From the beginning, it was an exercise in precision: there was the arrivals of the celebrity guests—from Priyanka Chopra and the Beckhams to Oprah and the Clooneys—to the royal family to the bride herself, in a modern Givenchy gown, in a Rolls-Royce. Markle’s convoy drove past throngs of well-wishers who lined the Long Walk to Windsor Castle, having camped out for hours for a shot at a glimpse. Inside, Prince Harry, dressed in his Blues and Royals uniform, was eagerly waiting for her walk down the aisle: solo, at first, then with his father, Prince Charles.

After the ceremony, which included an impassioned sermon by Bishop Michael Curry, the newlyweds stepped outside for a kiss in front of the cameras and then hopped into a carriage for a procession around town. Photographers were there to capture it all.
