Hey there, friends! Let me take you back to the magical day when the world watched Prince Harry and Meghan Markle tie the knot on May 19. Sure, the wedding was breathtaking, but the real fun kicked off after the "I dos." First up, the happy couple attended a daytime reception where the legendary Elton John serenaded the guests. But the night was where the real magic happened. The newly minted Duke and Duchess of Sussex, along with 200 of their nearest and dearest, gathered for an exclusive evening reception at Windsor Castle. The bash was hosted by Prince Charles himself, and trust me, it was the party of the century. Let's dive into all the juicy details!
Evening Glamour: The Designer Looks
Alright, let's talk fashion. Harry and Meghan didn't just roll up in their wedding attire. They changed into something a little more evening-appropriate. Meghan, looking as stunning as ever, wore a halter-style backless gown by Stella McCartney. The actress accessorized with Aquazurra heels and a special nod to her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana, by sporting Diana's emerald-cut aquamarine ring on her right hand. Meanwhile, Harry was dapper in a classic tuxedo with a bow tie. They arrived at the party in style, cruising into the celebration in a flashy Jaguar E-Type Concept Zero. Talk about making an entrance!

Delicious Delights: The Feast
Now, let's talk about the food. Guests were treated to an organic three-course meal that was nothing short of spectacular. To keep the party vibe going, they enjoyed cocktails from a "drinks of the world" themed bar. One standout cocktail was a signature drink called "When Harry Met Meghan," which combined ginger (a playful nod to Harry's fiery red hair) and rum. As the clock struck midnight, the party continued with late-night snacks like burgers and cotton candy. Who says royalty can't have a little fun?
Star-Studded Guest List
Who's who at this royal bash? Well, aside from the royal family, including Prince William and Duchess Kate, the guest list was a who's who of Hollywood. Meghan's famous friends like Priyanka Chopra from "Quantico" and tennis superstar Serena Williams were in attendance. Other A-listers included George and Amal Clooney, and the incredibly talented actor Idris Elba, who even took a turn at the DJ booth, according to the Daily Mail. Talk about a memorable night!
Speeches: Words From the Heart
Speeches are always a highlight at any wedding, and this one was no different. At the lunchtime reception, Prince Charles and Prince Harry delivered heartfelt speeches. However, at the evening party, the spotlight was shared with only a few speakers, including the bride herself, which broke royal tradition. Harry's best man, Prince William, reportedly made more than one cheeky joke. Harry's best friends, Tom 'Skippy' Inskip and Tom Van Straubenzee, also took the mic to toast the newlyweds. It was a night full of laughter and love.
