Alright, so let's start. The bride is Meghan Markle who is an American actor who became
3
19970
4970
00:24
most famous for her role in the American TV show Suits. The groom is Prince Harry who
4

5739
00:30
is the sixth in line to the British throne. The couple started dating in October 2016.
5

00:36
It was very casual at that point and then a year later in November 2017, that's when
6
36800
6420
00:43
they got engaged. The proposal happened in their cottage on a quiet night in. Accordingly
7
43220
5390
00:48
Harry got on one knee and proposed to Meghan and she said it was very romantic and very
8
48610
5090
00:53
sweet. Harry designed the engagement ring himself and he used two stones from Princess
9
53700
5150
00:58
Diana's jewellery collection and a diamond from Botswana. The happy couple are getting
10
58850
5270
01:04
married at Windsor Castle, which is the weekend home of the Queen, Harry's grandmother. Windsor
11
64120
5630
01:09
is just a few miles west of London. The wedding ceremony starts at twelve PM and is held in
12
69750
6000
01:15
St George's Chapel. This chapel dates back to 1475 and it's where many other royals have
13
75750
5570
01:21
also tied the knot so it has a special significance for the family. There are many familiar faces
14
81320
5100
01:26
in the wedding party. The best man is Prince William or the Duke of Cambridge as he is
15
86420
4010
01:30
also known. There will be six bridesmaids including Princess Charlotte and four pageboys
16
90430
5440
01:35
including Prince George. As this point it's not clear who is going to walk Meghan down
17
95870
3640
01:39
the aisle so we'll have to wait and see for that one. There are 600 guests that have been
18
99510
4230
01:43
invited to the service. Outside the chapel there are going to be over 2,000 other people
19
103740
5040
01:48
who have been invited personally by Harry and Meghan. It could be community workers,
20
108780
4670
01:53
charity workers, young people. I'm still waiting for my invitation, Im sure it's on its way.
21

01:58
Then after the ceremony Harry and Meghan are going to be taken through Windsor in an open-top
22
118900
5579
02:04
horse-drawn carriage. This is so that the public get to see the happy couple. There
23
124479
4452
02:08
will be a lunch reception and then in the evening is the main wedding reception. That
24
128931
4119
02:13
will take place at Frogmore House which is a 17th century property on the Windsor estate.
25
133050

02:18
This is where people let their hair down, they have a little dance, have some fun. I
26
138720
4499
02:23
wonder if it's going to get wild, I don't know. The first dance is usually a very special
27
143219
4000
02:27
moment when a couple get married. Now I'm not quite sure what song they will dance to,
28
147219
5080
02:32
maybe you guys can let me know in the comments below. Which song do you think Harry and Meghan
29
152299
4780
02:37
will dance to first. And of course at the reception it's tradition for people to make
30
157079
5061
02:42
speeches. Usually you have the groom will certainly make a speech and the best man will
31
162140
5010
02:47
make a speech. Certainly in British culture the best man's speech comes at the end and
32
167150
4720
02:51
is usually supposed to be quite a funny one. It's supposed to be quite playful teasing
33
171870
4679
02:56
the groom. And once the day is done the newlyweds will go on honeymoon. Now there's lots of
34
176549
5131
03:01
speculation about where they'll go. Possibly they might go to Africa which I know is a
35
181680
4000
03:05
very special place for both Harry and Meghan. So that's it, that's the royal wedding. I'm
36
185680
5060
03:10
sure it'll be a very special day. Guys let's me know in the comments below if you are excited
