Looking simply gorgeous in a Clare Waight Keller & Givenchy designed wedding gown, Meghan made her way down the aisle on the arm of Prince Charles, after her own father suffered a massive heart attack that prevented him from making the trip overseas. Still, she looked positively perfect as she joined Harry at the alter to finally say their vows.
