All of us watched the royal wedding like hawks yesterday, soaking in each and every detail like our lives depended on it. Admit it, even if you moaned about all of the hype beforehand, as soon as Harry and Meghan's nuptials kicked off, you were found beer in hand on the sofa, watching all of the drama unfold and offering up your opinion on Meghan's dress.

However, the truth of the matter is that you can't catch everything.

So without further ado, here are all of the tiny details that you blinked and missed yesterday. Enjoy!
