The Royal nuptials of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry will take place on Saturday, May 19 in the town of Windsor in Berkshire, England. The hour-long ceremony begins at 12pm BST at St. Georges’s Chapel, and will be followed by a carriage procession and two receptions, one of which will be privately held in Frogmore House on the grounds of Windsor Castle.
The historic wedding, celebrating the union between the American actress and the younger son of the late princess Diana, is sure to lure crowds from both sides of the pond. But if you want to catch it live from the states, you’ll have to tune in at 7am ET/4am PT.
