On May 19, 2018, the world witnessed the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. The ceremony was held at St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle, England, and was attended by several dignitaries including members of the British Royal Family.
The wedding was a symbol of modernity and diversity as it featured elements that were unique to the couple’s backgrounds. For instance, Meghan’s African-American heritage was evident throughout the ceremony with a gospel choir singing “Stand By Me” during the service.
One of the highlights of the day was Meghan Markle’s stunning dress designed by Clare Waight Keller for Givenchy. The dress had a timeless elegance to it with its clean lines and minimalistic design. The veil also had special meaning as it featured embroidered flowers from all 53 countries in Commonwealth.
Prince Harry looked sharp in his military uniform which reflected his long-standing commitment to serving his country. His decision to wear this outfit also highlighted his role as Captain General Royal Marines.
The couple exchanged vows before Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby who emphasized their love for one another above everything else. It was clear that they were deeply committed to each other and wanted nothing more than to spend their lives together.
After exchanging their vows and rings, they kissed on the steps of St George’s Chapel amidst cheers from well-wishers gathered outside. This moment marked an end to months-long speculation about when they would finally tie-the-knot after announcing their engagement in November 2017.
Another notable aspect of their wedding was how they incorporated charitable causes into various aspects of it. For instance, instead of receiving traditional wedding gifts from guests, Harry and Meghan asked them to donate money towards seven charities close to their hearts including Crisis UK which helps people facing homelessness in Britain.
Additionally, Prince Harry chose Princess Diana’s favorite flower- forget-me-nots- for Meghan’s bouquet along with sweet peas (which represent gratitude), lily of the valley (which symbolize happiness and trustworthiness), jasmine (which represent love and hope), astrantia, and myrtle.
The wedding reception was held at Frogmore House in Windsor where guests enjoyed a range of entertainment including speeches, food, and dancing. Prince Harry gave an emotional speech that touched on how he had finally found his soulmate in Meghan Markle.
Overall, the wedding was a beautiful celebration of love that showcased modernity and inclusivity. It was clear that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were deeply committed to each other as well as making a positive impact on society through their charitable work. The world can only wish them all the best in their future together as they now embark on their journey as husband and wife.
