The moment we’ve been waiting for is here: on Friday morning, Kensington Palace announced the official date of the royal wedding.
According to a tweet made from the official Kensington Palace account, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry will marry on May 19, 2018. While we knew the wedding would be sometime in the spring and that they’d be getting married at St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle, we now know the official date we’ll need to set our alarm clocks super early to get a glimpse of the royal wedding (which, if we’re lucky, will be televised like William and Kate’s was).

ICYMI, other royal wedding details released so far include the cake flavor (probably banana), the couple’s Christmas plans (the royal family’s official celebration at the Sandringham estate), and the famous guests we may be seeing at Windsor Castle (Priyanka Chopra and Serena Williams). While questions about who will be designing Meghan’s gown and who will be in the wedding party remain, now that we have an official date, we’re sure we’ll be getting some answers soon.
