Read the sweetest moments from Meghan Markle's wedding speech.
*—*from how they met through Instagram via a mutual friend to their engagement party where everyone “dressed in animal onesies.”shared a sweet excerpt from her wedding speech, noting that it’s still quite unusual for brides to give a speech at British weddings. “Onto the crux of why I wanted to speak tonight. First of all, it’s been a while,” she begins, recalling how the joke got a big laugh during their wedding reception at Frogmore House in May 2018.
Describing the different worlds they came from , Meghan says: “Once upon a time there was a girl from L.A.—some people called her an actress. And there was a boy from London—some people called him a prince. All of those people didn’t fully get it because this is the love story of a boy and girl who were meant to be together.”
The Duchess recalls how they “giggled endlessly” on their first date in July 2016 , before going on their second date the very next day – when Harry bought her cupcakes to mark the 4th of July: “‘A bittersweet celebration,’ he says. “Ironic, really. Her country’s independence from his country. Yet in this moment, they know they don’t want to be independent of each other.”
Continuing to detail their “long-distance courtship,” which included a romantic trip to Botswana, she describes how “they would love and garden and travel and laugh, and rack up more air miles than any couple could have,” adding: “And when the tides were rough, they squeezed each other tighter. ‘Nothing can break us,’ they’d say. For this love, she was a fighter.”
Noting how the speech shows how things have “come full circle” since their move to L.A., Meghan concludes: “I appreciate, respect and honour you, my treasure, for the family we will create, and our love story that will last forever. So I ask you to raise a glass to the astounding assurance that now life begins and the everlasting knowing that above all, love wins.”
