The royal wedding is getting emotional_  by [Megan McCluskey](https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/)  ## Megan McCluskey Staff Writer May 19, 2018 12:26 PM UTC  by [Megan McCluskey](https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/)  ## Megan McCluskey Staff Writer May 19, 2018 12:26 PM UTC After Meghan Markle walked down the aisle—alone at first and then with her soon-to-be father-in-law [Prince Charles](http://time.com/5282023/meghan-markle-prince-charles/)—at the [royal wedding](http://time.com/5276277/royal-wedding-live/), [Markle](http://time.com/5219716/meghan-markle-royal-wedding-hair/) was greeted at the altar of Saint George’s Chapel by her fiancé, Prince Harry. It was at that moment that Harry could be seen saying, [“You look amazing,”](https://twitter.com/RE%5FDailyMail/status/997795700133031937) to his bride—who was stunning in a [Givenchy dress](http://time.com/5245809/meghan-markle-royal-wedding-dress/) by creative director Claire Waight Keller complete with an extravagant embroidered veil. The Internet was, of course, appropriately enamored with the Duke of Sussex’s reaction to Markle’s arrival. “THE WAY PRINCE HARRY LOOKS AT MEGHAN AFTER HE SAYS ‘you look amazing’ IM SOBBING THEY ARE SO IN LOVE,” one Twitter user gushed. “My heart.
