Three years ago, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were married at St. George’s Chapel on the grounds of Windsor Castle. It was a bright, sunny day and everything seemed hopeful and exciting and fresh. The first woman of color to ever marry into the Windsor clan was being accepted and celebrated by the masses. Of course there were early signs of trouble, not between Harry and Meghan, but between H&M and the media, and H&M and the rest of the family. Harry seemed very emotional on his wedding day while Meghan seemed almost serene. Her serenity came after a full week of absolute chaos involving her toxic father but it is what it is.
In retrospect, I like her Clare Waight Keller gown more today than I did on the wedding day. The simplicity of the design is really great and it’s just a different “look” than most wedding gowns these days. Meghan wore the Queen Mary bandeau tiara, a fact which became massively significant in the months and years that followed, as the Queen’s dresser Angela Kelly claimed up and down that Meghan crashed the palace and “demanded” an emerald tiara or that Harry told off Kelly about the tiara or whatever. We didn’t know any of that on the day, we just thought that the delicate tiara suited Meghan’s look.
The one thing I still don’t like about Meghan’s look is her hair, and the loose strands hanging outside of the tiara and veil. It wasn’t the best look and I do wonder if Meghan had some minor regrets about insisting on that style.
Anyway, even though there were two years of chaos following this day in 2018, I love the fact that Meghan and Harry are writing their own story now and that they got away from that toxic clownshow. Speaking of, all of the royal social media accounts have stayed silent about the Sussexes’ anniversary. LMAO. Cheers to them on their anniversary!

I just love her dress, I still do!
Same here, I loved the whole look at the time and still do today.
The day was so lovely plus some friends had a party where we all got properly dressed up (plastic crowns and all) and had a fantastic time watching the ceremony and celebrating afterwards.
I personally hated the center part because I don’t think it looks good on many. And I think that tiara didn’t deserve a center part either. The dress is a lovely cut, but in that fabric with those wrinkles? It looked unfinished.
However, Meghan glowed as she always does and that made her a lovely bride. Harry looks completely in love and so proud.
Same. I loved the simplicity the first time I saw it and still love it now. It’s a timeless dress. She looked absolutely gorgeous and in love.
I always loved the dress. The only thing I would have changed would be the length of the veil. I think it would have been more elegant if it were the same length as the train.
I’ve always loved the dress, thought it was gorgeous and timeless. The veil was magnificent Never understood those who wanted more bling. Her hair, I don’t mind it. It was very deliberate those wispy strands. She just looked so pretty and fresh that day.
I loved the simplicity of her dress without all alecon and guipure lace. When I look at it, it looks timeless. I would have preferred her hair if she pulled it back in a sleek bun rather than the center path and tendrils.
The most intimate and beautiful of all the royal weddings I have seen.
A beautiful day and a beautiful couple. May God grant these two and their children a lifetime of happiness. If they got through the last 3 years of marriage standing strong, I’m hopeful they will have a happy and long lasting marriage.
The day makes me sad looking back because it was so happy and bright and FRESH. Harry and Meghan were so ecstatic, the kids were adorable, the music was great, Charles got one of the biggest bumps in his public image maybe ever, etc. The weather was perfect. It was just such a gorgeous day.
And now…..I look back at the family picture and think “you all wasted the best opportunity you had to modernize the monarchy and keep it relevant.” so much that didn’t bother me three years ago bothers me now – how Kate is leaning away in the posed family pictures, barely smiling, the family’s reactions during the sermon, etc. There were signs there, unfortunately.
I’ll never forgive that horrible Zara person for her sh!tty smirk during the sermon. She should have been deeply ashamed of herself.
It was shitty, but she was also 9 months pregnant at the time and looked deeply uncomfortable. Lots of royals were frowning and smirking though.
No, she was giving a very “can you believe this guy” look while Reverend Curry was speaking.
Yeah, at the time, I was of the opinion that Zara was just super pregnant and uncomfortable, but looking back, I think it’s clear she was being obnoxious.
Honestly, the sermon was…a lot. There were some great moments, but it was rather wide-ranging, even rambly at times, and I was a bit surprised/amused at some of the things he chose to say or how he said it. It was a very different style to what we’re used to hearing in that context.
@ Lottie, even though it was a lot for some people, there’s something called respect and Zara and other members of the Royal Family showed they couldn’t be tolerant of something they were not used to. I was invited to a Hindu wedding some years ago and even though as a Christian I didn’t understand the ritual or the tradition, I followed the ceremony respectfully without smirking or rolling my eyes. The RF showed their disrespect for Rev. Curry in front of a global audience and that is shameful.
I remember how i felt 3 years ago watching the wedding. I was so giddy and full of excitement. And i thought “finally a new era” and more than that “the royals would accept someone like me!” How wrong i was. In hindsight, the signs were absolutely there.
That’s because Kate thinks Black people have koi ties, she is a racist mean girl Karen after all
Cooties
Thanks. I was picturing ties with little spotted goldfish on them and was truly puzzled:)
You know, I felt this way too for a while. But honestly now that I look at it…it makes me happy. They were so ecstatic that day and they kept the happiness on their faces despite everyone else being jerks. And that’s kind of their thing, it set the precedent for the future. Against horrible events and odds they are still so happy together, you can see it always. It’s touching.
This is a really nice way to look at it. They were so happy that day despite all the drama and they are still that happy.
I like this take, and I agree. It’s heartening to see how palpable their bond was and still is today.
They look like that they are always in their love bubble😍😍
@Maria Leland, love that point of view. Their official wedding portrait of them sitting on the steps was a favorite of mine. When I searched for it today a cbs news story involving the royal wedding photographer came up. Smiled at this part:
In their official wedding portrait, the couple is casually seated on a set of steps and beaming. Lubomirski said he only had three minutes on that set-up – and it happened as naturally as it looks.
“I said, ‘Let’s walk out to the rose garden,’ and as we walked down they were sort of hugging and it was just relief and happiness and then on the way back, I said, ‘Listen, let’s just sit down here.’ And she just fell into that position and they were laughing and it was just constant smiling,” he said.
Zoom in on those royal frowns in the photo where Meghan and Harry are walking back down the aisle. Nobody smiling on that side of the aisle. Easy to miss on the day, yet so easy to see the animosity when relooking at stills of the event.
The simplicity of the dress was never the problem.
It was the heavy fabric on her delicate frame, plus the fact that the fit was about a size too big. Likely she lost weight due to stress that horrible week with her idiot dad.
Anyway, she is and was very beautiful, and the wedding was glorious!
I agree, beautiful, elegant, but too heavy for me too.
I think the hair destroyed a very beautiful dress. Messy hair was the wrong choice. I think with better hair, the heavy fabric/tiny frame situation could have been handled, even utilized to create a more well put-together look.
Yes, totally agree. I like the style of the dress, but it’s not tailored enough and the fabric is too stiff. It doesn’t move and conform to her body.
I think the fit was off because she was loosing weight rapidly due to the stress. Diana’s designers talked about this issue with Diana’s dress. Fortunately — for Diana — there was so MUCH dress and it was so fussy, that they were able to go in and quickly use clinch tucks to “take it in” where it was unnoticeable. With Meghan’s design that would have been very hard to do at the last minute. I loved Meghan’s entire look on the day and think it is timeless and will age well.
I should have scrolled down before typing my comment! That’s what was off about the fabric. It looked thick and heavy.
I agree, it looked too big and the fabric seemed heavy and kind of stiff? I like wedding gowns to look a bit ethereal, it adds to the magic. Now if it had fit her perfectly and had more movement, it would have been perfect. As it is it is a lovely classic dress and suits her style, it just wasn’t quite right, IMO. But she looked lovely and so happy.
Totally agree about her dress. The look was just off. I can’t imagine what she must have been going through that week, her dad just coincidentally had a heart attack the week of the wedding? Sure uh huh. You pull focus away from your daughters wedding faking an illness? Narcissist 101
The dress was modeled after a dress in the Givenchy archive, which had been worn in a photoshoot by Audrey Hepburn. It was meant to be loose, with a 60s vibe.
Nota
I see the inspiration for the dress, but AH wore it better. Meg’s still looks unfinished imo.
But I was scrolling through the Givenchy wedding dresses and omg Christina Ricci’s wedding gown is stunning. I’m not a fan of the “cold shoulder”, but it makes the dress unique.
If I had a vow renewal I’d wear that.
It really was a gloriously beautiful day. Perfect weather!
Everything really came together beautifully for the day. When they were riding through town in the carriage with the sun shining on them while the crowds were cheering along the way, it all looked quite magical.
The more the royal family resists accepting their marriage, the stronger it makes them. Lol. Windsor house is certainly not including wisdom in the royal brand, but it is amazing to watch the monarchy death spiral.
I love these photos, they are so obviously in love.
“Monarchy death spiral” Thats certainly what it appears these days. Seemed the RF is digging their own graves. Shame for them but would be a bonus for the Commonwealth. Think of the good all their money could do if turned over to the people.
They created a beautiful “Us against the world” storyline for the Sussexes…. My mom never tried to make me break up with boyfriends she didn’t like, when I grew up she told me that she was afraid I would completely shut her out and that would make those “relationships” (I was a teenager) more exciting…
Harry and Meghan aren’t teenagers. But yes, when you have a common cause–in this case, each other–you increase the emotional investment. The Sussex marriage, fortunately, has myriad common causes that they work on together
I love the dress. Its timeless yet modern (idk if that even makes sense) i do wish it was a bit tighter. But it is what it is. About the tiara. I don’t understand why the press is still pushing that lie when meghan herself said she fell in love with the queen mary bandeau tiara as soon as she saw it and that it was the one that fitted best.
I was so full of excitement and optimism on this day. Such a shame what the royals did to them
I love her dress, too! And the tiara was brilliant.
Still hate the dress – it looks like a winter blanket, terrible fit.
I can’t get on board with it. It has the IDEA of something great but the execution is off. I always feel like Meghan’s outfits are ALMOST great, but fit issues often kill them. And I have always disliked those shoes. They feel dated and much “older” than her.
Her reception dress was perfection though.
Elaine was the fit bad of her last hurrah outfits? They fit her like a glove.
The issue with many of her ‘royal’ outfits was either, she was pregnant, she was post partum, or she was being told to be less than.
You’re right. 3 outfits were great.
Oh my God, I completely forgot about that Stella Mccartney dress! How could I? NOW, that was an amazing outfit, everything about it, including the ring and the hair.
I loved the design of the gown but just wish it fit her better. though with all stress she had been going through with her awful father in the weeks leading up, on top of the stress of a globally televised wedding, it isn’t a surprise that she dropped weight she was fitted for.
the reception gown was everything though. getting in and driving away in that gorgeous classic sports car is my favorite iconic moment from the wedding.
I still hate her dress LOL I wish she wore the Stella McCartney dress for the wedding. But you know she lost some weight due to the stress of her insane father and I think that is why I don’t like the dress. The fitting just isn’t great. And I wish she wore her hair different. But man they sure picked a beautiful day for a wedding. Gorgeous! I remember waking up at 3am to watch LOL
Her dress is absolutely gorgeous, it’s a pity that she lost a bit of weight between the last fitting and the wedding day, otherwise it would have been perfect. I love her ultra simple makeup, but I’m not a fan of the middle part, bun.
I love her makeup too! I’m actually getting married a year from today, and my plan is to do my makeup very similar to Meghan’s. I love how fresh it looks.
But yeah. Not a fan of the hair, particularly the middle part and the loose pieces.
Stunning couple. Beautiful ceremony. I still look at Kate’s hat and think of wadded up yellow toilet paper. Then there’s Camilla’s hat, ugh. Doria and the Queen both looked wonderful.
Camilla’s hat looks like layers of flaky philo dough.
I really want some baklava after seeing it.
I lived in the UK at the time and I remember being appalled by the British media at that time. My opinion of them has continued to go downhill ever since.
I absolutely loved their wedding. I have watched it a handful of times. Now, it’s bittersweet to look back. They treated her so cruelly and it’s hard to look at videos and photos from that day.
I loved how Harry was during the wedding. He was very emotional and Meghan was so serene and beautiful. I wish these two nothing but happiness. They have been through a lot these past 3 years and seem stronger than ever. They both have left everything they have ever known to be together, that’s pretty amazing.
I agree Ginger, looking at the photos or watching the videos of this day is so bittersweet but Meghan and Harry do seem as happy today as they did 3 years ago, a bit battered and bruised but happy.
I also like to bring this up every year is they got married on Malcolm X’s birthday. Coincidence? I think not 😂
Anyway I remember this wedding. It was on a Saturday.’Harry looked so nervous and seemed relieved once he saw Meghan.
Meghan’s dress won’t ever look dated. It looks beautiful in the official photographs.
Happy 3rd anniversary to Harry and Meghan. These two went through so much that would have ended other marriages. But here they stand:
A prosperous life in the US with partnerships and mega deals.
A beautiful 2 yr old son soon to be followed by a baby girl.
Freedom from the BM extortion racket and the takedown of the Fail.
Freedom from a 1000 yr institution where the current reigning house is enslaved
and its treachery to family has been exposed
Vindictive and greedy relatives who run to the press for hit interviews and do
slam books for money got their karma by living as if they still shop at
Walmart.
The Sussexes came through and there are still challenges ahead but I believe they will rise. Best wishes.
The Sussex wedding is the most beautiful royal wedding I’ve ever seen!! The day and the couple were so full of love and excitement, the constant hand-holding and Harry’s tears really got all of my feels going!
I keep thinking about the Archbishop’s stern warning that “what God hath joined together, let no one put asunder” and the fact that Harry’s family ignored that warning and did all they could to break up this incredible couple.
Happy Anniversary to Meghan and Harry!! I hope that this coming year and the years to follow will be filled with laughter, love and light for you both and your little family!
It really was so beautiful and I was very taken aback at how touched I was. I really thought it was going to be a boring PR wedding ceremony and I did not know much about Meghan. This couple turned out to be so special!
It was beautiful. The photo taken from above when Meghan is walking alone down the isle and the sunlight hits her, just so, thru the windows (not shown in this CB lineup) is EVERYTHING. I honestly think that is the most beautiful photo I have ever seen of a royal bride, and maybe any bride. So delicate, so ethereal. Takes my breath away every time I see it. I have been married for 36 years and I see something in this couple you don’t normally see until much later in marriage, and understanding, a strength, an acceptance. I hope they never lose that.
I agree that her dress is ageing better as the years go. I was underwhelmed when I first saw it but now I appreciate its classic design and think it’s timeless. I definitely think it could have used one more fitting but I wouldn’t be surprised if she lost weight between the last fitting and the wedding date and there was no time for refitting. Her reception dress was love at first sight for me.
I feel the same way, but it might be because my expectations have been lowered. On the day I was very disappointed with it. Now I look at it and I’m like “it’s not that bad”
I have always loved Meghan’s dress and the more I see it, the more I like it. Someone on twitter put up a collage of all the British royal brides over the years and Meghan’s dress really stands out among the many lace, corseted, puffy and crinoline dresses. It’s really sleek and modern.
It really is the one that stands out. I remember everyone fawning over Kate’s dress, when what she really did was just put on a Grace Kelly costume (and, in my opinion, kind of a cheap-looking one at that). Meghan still looks like Meghan.
Her dress does stand out and one thing over time that I’ve thought about is the color of her dress. Which lol obviously it’s white but it’s such a bright white especially in that sun. There can be ivory and even diff shades of white but I’m always struck by how kind of bright and gleaming it is, maybe it’s the fabric or its simplicity but it really does stand out.
Same here Amy Bee! I love the simplicity of this dress and am still in awe that this beautiful creation is held together by a mere 6 seams. People harp on and on about the fit but imho the fit was perfect, it skimmed her body which is my preferred mode of fit instead of being skin-tight.
Amy, that is what I thought when she first stepped out of the car and starting walking up the steps. The simplicity of the dress is such that it would never look dated or tacky even 20 years from now.
The other royal brides generally look stuffy in their dresses. Meghan’s dress seemed more relaxed and more suited to her personality. Kate’s dress was praised because prior to that Diana and Sarah had very frou frou dresses that went out of style quickly. But Kate’s dress had those weird boob cones and was fairly low cut for a church wedding dress. It’s ok but not special since it obviously copies Grace Kelly’s dress. Meghan’s dress seems more unique, at least for a royal wedding.
I wasn’t crazy about Meghan’s dress at the time, but 3 years later, bride-to-be Miranda has a newfound appreciation for it. Her veil was absolutely stunnnnning, and you can only see that because of the simplicity of the dress. I’m quite petite, so I decided that the statement veil and simple dress route was best, but it turns out that those dresses tend to be deceptively expensive because their very simplicity means you need an absolutely flawless design and fit. And they can be hard to find anyway, due to the fact that so damn many brides want that huge ball gown with lace AND beading AND ruffles AND inappropriate-for-church bustier Pnina Tornai look.
(God, I’m so sorry I just made this about me. That’s the excited-the-wedding-plans-are-back-on me talking.) Anyway, I guess I was just going to state the obvious, that Meghan looked ridiculously radiant. Everything we now know she was going through, and she still managed to look gorgeous and just, like, she didn’t even realize that billions of people were watching.

I feel your pain on finding a dress! I’m getting married a year from today (on the Sussexes’ 4th anniversary!), and I’m a petite, slender person. Finding a sheath dress with sleeves was a bit more of an effort than I would have liked. I know people love strapless dresses, but the idea of wearing one in front of family and friends made me deeply uncomfortable.
I’m also petite. I got married five years ago and wore a Jenny Packham sheath dress with sleeves (the Leila). It was hard to find at the time, strapless dresses where everywhere, and it’s not a style I like, or find flattering.
I didn’t love it then but I love the dress now and everything including the tiara. It was a beautiful wedding and I loved the way Harry looked at Meghan. The music for Meghan walking down the aisle made me tear up. I’m so happy today also because I finally got to register for Pfizer! Happy anniversary Harry and Meghan, I love you!
Congrats Alexandria!! Wishing you an easy time post jab. Welcome to the “Club” 😊 Hope to extend the welcome to many, many more!
Thank you dear!
I still think they both look stunning, I loved her dress then and love it even more now.she is an absolutely beautiful woman.
The Windsors are a bunch of emotionally repressed, cold hearted Ass- h—-s
Plus , any day that those loveless people don’t acknowledge your anniversary is a good day
Happy anniversary to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex! I still love Meghan’s dress as much as I did on the wedding day. It just has such a simple elegance that we don’t see with royal wedding dresses. It was enough for the magnitude of the occasion while still reflecting her style.
I agree with other posters that looking back on the wedding now is rather bittersweet. It’s nice that they got to have a private vow exchange for themselves earlier, something the RF couldn’t sneer and told their eyes at. I think it’s for the best that those people didn’t post their fake well wishes. I still wish they refrained from doing so on Archie’s birthday a couple of weeks ago.
We wish The Sussexes, a long happy marriage, may God be their guide and guard!
I was holidaying in far north, rural Japan on the wedding day (although it was actually quite late at night, Japanese time). The wifi wasn’t great in the hotel, but I persisted through all the buffering and glitches! I remember being so happy for them, after all the grief that Bad Dad and the BM bullies had put them through. I wish them all the happiness in the world and continued freedom to follow their hearts and live their best lives.
I cannot believe it has been three years! Happy anniversary to the H&M. Long may they reign 😉
I’m struck by the picture of H&M walking down the aisle after the ceremony. Not a single member of the royal family is admiring them. When a freshly married couple walks by me at the end of the wedding, especially a dearly loved family member, I smile & clap & enjoy the happy energy. They look so sour & disinterested! What a bunch a d*cks lol!
She looked so beautiful on her wedding day. I immediately ran out and bought all her wedding day makeup staples which are amazing btw and I still love. I’m also a perfume lover, I know that Floris created that bespoke scent based on Bergamotto di Positano for their wedding but Diptyque actually scented it so I wear Eau des Sens (a juniper/orange blossom scent) and imagine their special day.
Her dress was divine. I think there’s something really luxurious about the heavy silk in that bright white, and it was so timeless.
And the use of Handel’s Eternal Source of Light Divine was the best.
I love that they didn’t have a red or blue carpet like other royal weddings.
And how happy and serene she was the whole time.
I really loved this day (well, the Royal family’s behavior excluded).
On the podcast that the Sussexes recorded to go with the traveling exhibit of their wedding clothes, Harry said he personally picked out the Handel music that played when Meghan walked down the aisle, as it expressed perfectly the joy he felt about his love for Meghan.
I read that and definitely cried a little. So lovely!! It’s really such a divine piece.
Ironically it was written as part of a piece of music to celebrate the birthday of Queen Anne of Great Britain, but she didn’t really care and it’s not even certain she listened to it, lol. Go figure.
I can’t believe it’s only been three years! With everything that’s happened to them since then, it feels like 1000.
OMG same!! It feel like at least five years. Of course covid has altered all concept of time for me…
@Jaylee . I agree with you. All the members of the royal family were looking elsewhere but Meghan when she went past them. No appreciation. No politeness whatsoever. They all looked pissed off and jealous. They never thought that she’d come out so beautiful and stunning in her wedding gown. Her makeup was simple and subdued and she was glowing and radiant. I also like her reception gown. She looked beautiful and really sexy. Happy anniversary Mr & Mrs Sussex ! 3 years down and forever to go!
I loved the reception dress!
I’m in agreement with the previous commenters who say the dress fabric and fit didn’t work, but it was a really striking dress.
I still hate her falling down hair.
Kate definitely wore an off white dress to try and Pippa Meghan’s wedding.
Doria’s little pancake hat is beautiful (but I liked her baptism outfit better).
I’m the opposite on Doria. I loved her wedding look, but her hat for the christening is a no-go for me.
Given everything we know now, I’m really glad her dad wasn’t there. Keep him out of the pretty pictures. He didn’t deserve to be part of such a happy, beautiful, sunny day.
Happy anniversary Harry and Meghan! May they continue to grow together in love and happiness! They’ve weathered some big storms that would have sunk a lot of ships for sure. I hope they have a peaceful day far from the chaos and madness of that “other place”. I always loved her dress, so elegant. As for her hair, maybe this was the result of not having access to the tiara like she and her hairdresser wanted? Who knows, but I think she looked very elegant in the end.
I didn’t like her dress at first either, but it’s grown on me over the years! Still think it’s loose but will always love the boat neckline on her.
Also, I wasn’t sure about the hair tendrils at first, but then I saw their black & white wedding portraits where she only wears the tiara, without the veil—and I get it the look she was going for now! It’s such a cool, relaxed, fun bride look. The veil covered it all up, but if you look for those portraits, the loose chignon/tendrils/tiara look really works.
They really did look happy that day. I hope they can still look back on their wedding day with joy and not let what has occurred since ruin it. Her dress is my second favorite royal wedding dress of all time, beaten out by Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden. Both gowns are simple and elegant and let the beauty of the bride show through.
At the time I really was not a fan of her dress but I thought she looked beautiful in terms of her makeup and hair. I don’t think she meant for the loose strands of hair to fall down, I think she was going for a “loose” look and some strands did become too loose and got out of her updo. I believe they became loose during the ceremony? Looking back, her dress is very simple but classic looking and I appreciate it more. The only problem I still have with it is the heavy looking fabric. It absolutely swamps her small frame and is clearly too big on her. For me in terms of UK royal weddings, my favorite is still Eugenie’s. Her emerald tiara was so stunning, her dress so flattering, and the fact she made the bold choice to forgo a veil was amazing (to show off her scoliosis scar from her operation).
However Meghan’s reception look was perfection. Had she not been forced to wear a more traditional dress for her ceremony, she would have looked dynamite getting married in that dress. They did look so happy and it was a day full of joy. It’s hard to look at these pictures knowing all that would follow but they are away from the pit of vipers living their best life in California. They must be so exhausted when they think of how far they’ve come in 3 years!
I think Meghan had a cinematic eye in mind when she was designing her wedding look. It reads updated Camelot to me and is aging beautifully. The comments about the brightness of the fabric are interesting; they must have considered that Harry was wearing a black uniform and wanted a certain level of contrast between her white and his black. I wasn’t enamored of her hair at first glance but by the time they got to the vows, I thought it framed Meghan’s joyful face so beautifully. I noticed back then that the Royals were not paying attention during the vows and it irked me. We were all so naive.
I didn’t like the dress back then because I expected something different but now I love her whole look! Years from now the dress will still look good in photos because its clean timeless design.. I hunted down her lipstick & purchased one for myself being an olive skin it’s hard to find the perfect nude color..
Their wedding was so beautiful and special. Happy Annuversary Harry e Meghan!
Happy Anniversary! I loved everything about the wedding. I could see the problem with the wedding dress – it was the fabric. Such a dense fabric couldn’t be too tight, it would strain even more across the hips and be uncomfortable when getting in and out of the carriage, sitting, standing, sitting, standing – she had to wear it for a really long time. But I loved the style of it and the cut and how characteristic it was of her personality.
Happy 3rd Wedding Anniversary to the Meghan and Harry!!!! May you have many happy years together.
And Meghan was simply brilliant on the day! Simple and elegant! Nothing needed changing!!!
I’m so glad that in the three years they were given by the snobbish senior royal for the marriage to last, it is Harry who walked away from the family.
@Myra, @DuchessSuccess on twitter post a great thread on their engagement interview.
Prince Harry: Of course. That sense of responsibility was was essentially from day one or maybe a couple of months in, when I sort of realized actually, this is you know, I feel I know that I’m in love with this girl. And I hope that she is in love with me.
The words lifted my heart. I felt the same way with my husband, and my heart still skips when I see him. I’m looking forward to our 25th year anniversary on July 12th. I kept sending him the meme of Prince Harry biting his lips when he saw Meghan at the church with the #yaybaby, he returns it back with #youpervertbaby!
Happy anniversary to Duchess Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. May your bond continue with deeper love and understanding for each other. Stay blessed.
Archewell Foundation and World Central Kitchen have announced plans to build a community relief center in India.
Happy anniversary!
I love her styling. I don’t think that the hair was the best fit with the gown/veil, but I like the idea that Harry is used to seeing her with freckles and hair a bit undone, and that’s the same vibe she kept for her wedding day.
Me three and four, I love the dress more today than I did then and I did like it then.
However, I like the strands less and do wish Angela would have allowed them dress rehearse the tiara.
I absolutely adore the reception look and think it’s the loveliest I have seen her other than her debut with the plaid trench.
All in all, they may be the most in love couple I’ve ever seen marry at any wedding I’ve attended. I wish them and their marriage luck and long happiness together.
They are glowing
Love her dress. Such an instant classic. It was a beautiful wedding. Happy Anniversary, Sussexes!
Today is also my wedding day. My bridesmaids were at my hotel room at 5 am to watch their wedding and to eat breakfast. I remember how we all squealed when we finally saw her dress. I loved it that day and I still love it to this day.
Happy anniversary to you and to the Sussexes! I just wanted to say, how fun that you share this wonderful date with them! I also loved her dress and her whole look immediately, and I still do too. I thought their wedding came off like the essence of the joy of Spring. Everything about it – minus the visibly rude manners of the royals – was so sweet and joyful.
I loved everything about this dress and the reception dress too. It was a beautiful wedding.
Wishing many more years of love and happiness together for the Sussexes.
It’s so funny you used the word “serene”. I got married three weeks ago, in Mexico, after spending months getting all 15 guests vaccinated. That whole process to get them their first doses was in February, when it felt near impossible to get a shot! I had not heard back from my biological mom in months, after I told her she was not welcome at my wedding (emotionally abusive, can’t acknowledge she did anything wrong/change any behaviors). There was so much stress and anxiety going into the wedding.
And yet. It was like I took a Xanax (I had not). I was UNSHAKEABLE. When we were getting into place, my mom and I were waiting at the designated spot. We’re indoors. I start to move, and my train is sticking to the floor. My train was stuck in gum. My mom starts to panic. “What should we do???” I had no answer. I COULD NOT HAVE CARED LESS.
I’m an anxious over-thinker with severe ADHD. I keep trying to figure out how I can bring that energy into my everyday life! How can I channel it when I’m stressed?! Because I have never felt that serenity before in my life, and I will remember it forever. You can see it in her face, I bet Meg felt similarly.
Loved the dress then, and love it even more now. I felt the hair was just perfect for Meghan giving her that Meghan feels fans have come to adore. I think her look was timeless and romantic and the love on their faces just made the whole wedding magical. The only thing that tainted the day was the undignified behavior of the royals, there was nothing regal about the the attitudes they were giving off. For people whose jobs requires diplomacy you would think they could have faked it for the short time they had to get through a wedding. No matter how British historians tell the tale of the Windsors feelings about HnM in the future, their behaviors at HnM’s wedding will tell the tale.
YES!!! They were so rude and it’s on record for all history now.
I watched this wedding on my phone in a developing country…it was so gorgeous and I loved how personal and American it was and how it celebrated black excellence.
and I was shocked by the cutaways to the royal family whose expressions were less than stiff upper lip. It was disturbing to me that no on was even paying attention to the ceremony.
Meghan’s dress remains beautiful tho I do understand the concerns about fit.
Still she looked regal and so modern- a woman not a girl on her wedding day.
I hope they have plenty of time and support to grieve the losses and traumas of the past three years.
May they continue to be blessed with the love they clearly have for one another.
Happy Anniversary Sussexes!!
What is up with all that family faces as Harry and Meghan are walking out the church? They look like they were just told Christmas was canceled for the next 5 years. Poor Megs. No one deserves such hostility especially on their wedding day.
