Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have chosen a smaller venue than many royals, and a comparatively intimate 600-guest total in the church, a crowd that will contain a liberal sprinkling of celebrities.
A world celebrates the news of a royal wedding and the man who officially documented their engagement describes the young couple in love.
The story of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's romance started with a blind date, and by the third date they were camping in a Botswana safari park, part of a long-running bid to escape the glare of the media.
Harry's enduring appeal lies in the fact he's endured the harsh spotlight after his mother's very public death, and scrutiny for his acting out in his teens and twenties. Having matured through military service and philanthropic work, Harry finds himself very much beloved in Britain and beyond.
As a youngster, Markle refused to be pigeonholed by tick-box racial definitions, and fell into activism before she left middle school. At 12 years old, she convinced Proctor & Gamble to change a campaign of theirs that she felt was demeaning to women.
Before the royal engagement announcement, Vanity Fair journalist Sam Kashner visited Meghan Markle at her Toronto home where she made him lunch and talked openly about her romance with Prince Harry.
