What do you think? Was Meghan Markle’s pure white, boat neck gown designed by British designer Clare Waight Keller (the artistic director of French fashion house Givenchy) better than Rachel’s wedding dress on Suits?

Sadly, Meghan’s own father wasn’t able to attend the royal wedding due to health issues, but luckily Prince Charles stepped in to walk her down the aisle. Rachel’s dad made it to her wedding on the USA drama, but which makes for a sweeter moment? You decide.

The best man

Prince Harry picked his brother Prince William to be his number one on the big day. Mike (Patrick J. Adams) chose best bud Harvey (Gabriel Macht) to serve as his best man. One’s the heir to the British throne, the other’s a maverick lawyer, but we’re not biased.

The vows

“I, Harry, take you, Meghan, to be my wife, to have and to hold from this day forward; for better, for worse,” Prince Harry vowed. “For richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death us do part; according to God’s holy law. In the presence of God, I make this vow.” 

Meanwhile, Mike told Rachel at their wedding on Suits, “From the first second I knew I wanted to be with you someday, walking down the aisle, arm in arm.”

Prince Harry and Meghan passed 600 invited guests to make their way outside to greet the crowds of thousands of well-wishers. Rachel and Mike, um, walked past their costars and some extras. There’s certainly less pressure in one scenario.
