Britain's Prince Harry and Meghan Markle exchanged wedding vows in the presence of 600 guests on Saturday at the iconic St George's Chapel in Windsor Castle, as millions of people around the world watched the historic event live.

The service was conducted by the Dean of Windsor with Justin Welby, the Archbishop of Canterbury and the spiritual head of the Anglican Church, overseeing the exchange of vows. US bishop, Michael Bruce Curry, gave the wedding address.

Harry, 33, and Meghan, 36, became the 16th Royal Couple, since 1863, to get married at Windsor Castle.

The royal couple added a modern touch to their marriage ceremony. Instead of using traditional vows, the royal couple selected words from The Marriage Service from Common Worship (2000).

They pledged themselves to one another: "for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death us do part".

As the royal occasion was watched by the whole world, we Indians could not get enough of the extravaganza, sometimes comparing it with the Karnataka elections saga that finally drew to a close on the same day.

Here are some of the desi reactions to the authentic British wedding:
