Fans were thrilled when Meghan appeared in a timeless gown by Clare Waight Keller for Givenchy. It featured an open bateau neckline, a sculpted waist, and three-quarter sleeves.

4. The Martin Luther King sermon:

Reverend Michael Curry of Chicago, Illinois, changed things up at the traditional ceremony. He quoted Martin Luther King, Jr. saying, "We must discover the power of love, the redemptive power of love, and when we do that, we will make of this old world, a new world."
