The gusts outside St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle, where Princess Eugenie wed Jack Brooksbank, caused quite a scene for the couple’s more than 800 invited guests.

Carefully-placed fascinators went flying, some women came close to having Marilyn Monroe moments when the wind hit their skirts and even some male guests had fashion malfunctions when the wind overtook their hats.

Take a look at the tight grips guests had to keep on their way inside the chapel.
