Mums, we are shaking with excitement! Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are inviting some lucky members of the public to the grounds of Windsor Castle to celebrate their big day.
The fortunate 2,640 people will get to see the arrivals of the bride and groom, as well as their wedding guests, to St. George's Chapel. They'll also get to see the newlyweds' carriage procession departing from the castle.
This recent update on the royal wedding noted that the couple want 'members of the public to feel part of the celebrations too and said that 'this wedding, like all weddings, will be a moment of fun and joy'. It sure will be! We love how welcoming the couple are.
If you're hoping to snag an invite to the happy event on May 19, here's the suss: 1,200 people from all over the UK (oops, that's us out) will be nominated by nine regional Lord Lieutenant offices.
