Well, on May 19, it will forever go down in history, like the day when Prince Harry and former actress Megan Markle became a husband and wife. So - it's time to remember the most interesting details of this fabulous ceremony and look at the most touching shots. And there will be a lot of them!
Without exaggeration, it can be argued that on May 19 at 12:00 London time the whole world was chained to the TV screens to see how the charming "Cinderella" Megan Markle would say "Yes!" To her beloved prince.
And it happened, but even more touching than one can only dream up, because the groom's first words to the bride were: "You look amazing! I missed you!"
And if now you look like a tear, then do not be shy, because at that moment they "streamed" at everyone - from the prince and Megan ...
... her mother Doria Ragland and more than half of the guests!
By the way, Prince Harry and Megan Markle will become the 16th royal couple to marry at Windsor Castle, starting in 1863. And the young spouse will immediately lose her surname - henceforth she will bear the title of Duchess of Sussex, according to her spouse, to whom exactly on that day grandmother Queen Elizabeth II was given the title of Duke of Sussex, Count Dumbarton and Baron Kilkil!
His wedding vows, Prince Harry and Megan Markle uttered in the presence of hundreds of guests.
They promised to love each other in sorrow and joy, sickness and health until death parted them. True, an interesting detail - instead of the traditional formulation of the bride did not promise to "obey" her husband!
Do you think this is what surprised Kate Middleton?
The bride and groom exchanged rings. The engagement of Megan Markle was made from an ingot of rare Welsh gold, which Her Majesty Elizabeth presented to her. Well, Harry's ring is made of platinum!
Everyone already knows that she sewed her wedding attire Megan Markl to the eminent French fashion house Givenchy. But do not look for "betrayal of traditions" here! It turns out that last year the creative director of the fashion house was British Claire Waite Keller, who is the author of this snow-white stylish masterpiece!
And the head of the bride was adorned with the filigree tiara of Queen Mary of Teck, grandmother of Elizabeth II. Well, it's like something borrowed! "The diamond tiara was created in 1932, and the central stone dates from 1893," Kensington Palace said in a statement.
By the way, even embroidery on the veil of the bride keeps a whole history - if you look closely, then you will see flowers of fifty three countries of the British Commonwealth!
But Prince Harry and his elder brother, Prince William, on this day, wore the uniforms of the British army of the Blues and Royals regiment!
Interestingly, instead of the traditional kiss on the balcony (as it was with Prince William and Kate Middleton, as well as with Prince Charles and Princess Diana), Harry kissed Megan on the steps of the chapel.
Let's admire the first kiss of the couple as a husband and wife?
And the reasons for the emotion of the guests were not few ...
Needless to say, the general enthusiasm for her aristocratic manners and spontaneity was caused by the 3-year-old Charlotte, who was among those ten children who were part of the retinue?
Oh, that's not it ...
The little princess, just like her younger brother's birthday, delicately and royally welcomed the audience waving her hand!
And her mother - Kate Middleton and this time showed thrift. The Duchess of Cambridge attended the ceremony in a cream-colored coat from Alexander McQueen, which appears in public for the fourth time!
Did you know that Prince Harry, whose fortune is estimated at 30 million pounds, refused to sign a marriage contract to prove his sincere feelings? But analysts have already calculated that Britain will earn $ 1.4 billion at this wedding!
Here is another interesting fact - the masks of Prince Harry and Megan Markle became the most popular and sold souvenir!
We know that you can not wait to know what the young family was treating guests to? Then get ready - all Scottish langoustines, wrapped in slices of smoked salmon with citrus cream-fresh and grilled asparagus wrapped in ham, were served to all guests invited to dinner at the St. George's Hall. Also on the menu were Panakota of peas with quail eggs and lemon verbena, fricassee from chicken with morel mushrooms and leek, risotto with peas and mint and cooked over low fire pork with apple compote. Well, for dessert, guests were served pistachio macaroons with champagne and tartlets with orange cream-brule.
By the way, the bride and groom violated the wedding tradition where they were not expected to do it - instead of the traditional wedding cake with fruits for the British royal family, Prince Harry and Megan Markle chose a lemon cake soaked in elderberry grown in the garden of the royal residence in Sadringham, cream with meringue and decorated with roses and peonies. Created this sweet "masterpiece" by the native of the USA - confectioner Claire Ptak and her team.
We represent, as they enjoyed the guests, and even the singing of Sir Elton John himself!
