Everyone can't wait to see Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's royal wedding, and much to everyone's excitement, the pair unveil more details about the upcoming nuptials. New details about the wedding, which will be held on May 19, hint that it will be a fairytale wedding.
According to the official announcement released by Kensington Palace, the nuptials will begin at 12 P.M. U.K. time or 7 A.M. EST at St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle. The Right Rev. David Conner, the dean of Windsor, has been tapped to conduct the wedding service, while The Most Rev. Justin Welby, the Archbishop of Canterbury, will officiate when the couple takes their marriage vows.
Following the hour-long nuptials, there will be a carriage procession with the royal couple parading through the streets. The pair will leave Windsor Castle via Castle Hill and go along the High Street, Sheet Street, Kings Road and Albert Road, before returning to the castle along the Long Walk.
"They hope this short journey will provide an opportunity for more people to come together around Windsor and to enjoy the atmosphere of this special day," said the statement.
Harry and Meghan later will attend a reception at St. George's Hall in the evening with Prince Charles hosting the party, which will be attended by their close friends and family. Prince Charles previously hosted the party for Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding back in 2011.
After a break in the late afternoon, there will be a private evening reception. According to a source, the evening is set to be broken into two parts. The first part is an "informal" dinner for around 350 guests and that's where more speeches will be heard. It will later be followed by a boozy reception which offers a whisky bar for 550-660 guests.
Another source also confirms that former U.S. President Barack Obama and wife Michelle are invited, being listed as personal friends of the prince. However, it remains to be seen if the Obamas will attend the big day. As for President Donald Trump, it is said that they are still discussing whether or not they will include POTUS in the guest list.
