This Was Not Your Average Royal Wedding

The new Duke and Duchess of Sussex

And they're married!

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle wed today in a gorgeous ceremony that brought royal glamour into the 21st century.

In a nod to Markle's biracial background, the service featured a thoroughly American sermon served up with some gospel singing. This was not your average royal wedding.

And that's a good thing.

Attending the nuptials were celebrities like Oprah Winfrey, George and Amal Clooney, and tennis star Serena Williams.

Congrats to the happy couple!
