While Rafferty enjoyed the nuptials, Macht’s favorite wedding moment was the lunchtime reception after.
“It was surprising to seeElton Johnplay ‘I’m Still Standing.’ He’s still standing, he was incredible and that was an incredible moment,” said Macht, 45, who plays Harvey Spector on the hit series.
“I think, overall, just to be a part of such an uplifting story, you know? A story of inclusion, love –– and there’s so much stuff out there that’s so depressing and dark. This was just a remarkable day to go and support her and the royal family and it was an amazing time,” he added.
