Locals were excited for Meghan and Harry's big day.

More than a dozen people met up at 585 Rocking Burger Bar in Gates this morning wearing their wedding best, complete with hats, to watch the nuptials live on television. The restaurant was serving breakfast and mimosas as part of the celebration.

Viewers say they're looking forward to having an American "royal."

"The excitement of this is that it's an American,” said Jennifer Mastrodonato. “We have an American princess that we're excited to see."

"Some of the girls have done it before, but this is my first time so I wanted to go all out and get dressed up,” said Joann Polito. “It's just a really neat thing to watch because we don't have anything like that here."

In all, the entire event lasted five hours.
