The royal wedding of the year — a.k.a. the marriage of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle — will take place on Saturday, May 19 at St. George's Chapel in Windsor Castle.
But just because the nuptials are taking place across the pond doesn't mean us Canucks have to miss out on the action. Back in February, it was announced that the royal wedding will be perfectly timed for Canadian and American viewers, with a start time of 7 a.m. EST (12 p.m. GMT), with lots of action before that as well.
HuffPost has live updates on the ground in Windsor, as well as from our US and Canadian staff. Celebrate with us here and read on for other ways on how to watch the royal wedding in Canada.
What time will it take place and what can you expect to see?
Harry and Markle's 600 guests will start arriving at the chapel between 4:30 a.m. and 6 a.m. EST (1:30 a.m. and 3 a.m. PST, 9:30 a.m. and 11 a.m. GMT). Although the couple did not release a formal guest list, we can expect to see a lot of familiar faces, including members of the Royal Family and A-list celebs like George and Amal Clooney and the Spice Girls (yes, all five of them!).
At 6:15 a.m. EST (3:15 a.m. PST, 11:15 a.m. GMT), Harry and his best man, the Duke of Cambridge, will arrive at the church. The brothers will likely arrive by foot, as they are staying at the luxury hotel Coworth Park in Ascot, U.K. the night before. The princes will take time to acknowledge those who have gathered on the grounds of Windsor Castle before entering the chapel's west steps.
Markle and her mother, Doria Ragland, will head to the chapel by car around 6:30 a.m. EST (3:30 a.m. PST, 11:30 a.m. GMT) from Cliveden House Hotel, where they will stay the night before. However, Markle and her mother won't make their grand entrance until the ceremony begins at 7 a.m. EST (4 a.m. PST, 12 p.m. GMT) sharp.
The Queen will be the last member of the Royal Family to arrive before the bride. Her Majesty will make her appearance just five minutes before the ceremony begins.
Following the ceremony, which ends around 8 a.m. EST (5 a.m. PST, 1 p.m. GMT), the newlyweds will meet the 200 people who were invited to represent Harry's charities. They will then take a carriage ride through Windsor as their guests head to the reception at St. George's Hall. The carriage procession will take just under 25 minutes, Kensington Palace confirmed.
Although the public will not see anything inside the reception, live coverage might catch a glimpse of the bride and groom leaving Windsor Castle on the way to their to their evening reception at Frogmore House at 2 p.m. EST (11 a.m. PST, 7 p.m. GMT).
