We Finally Know What Meghan Markle Said In Her Wedding Reception Speech

Cue the waterworks - by Isabelle Truman
  • 23 May 2018

More and more details continue surfacing about Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's wedding reception and after party.

From guests playing beer pong to pizza deliveries and royal dance-offs, the occasion sounds like the party of the year.

But taking things back a notch to the fairytale romance we saw during the Windsor Castle ceremony, parts of Meghan Markle's reception speech have leaked - and you're going to need a fresh box of tissues.

Breaking yet another royal tradition, the bride chose to deliver a speech during the dinner reception.

According to US Weekly, Her emotional words included thanking her mother and in-laws for all their love and support, and her new husband, who she said she "loved with all her heart."

The Duchess of Sussex also reportedly referred to her first marriage and said that finding true love was "worth the wait."

Meghan finished by telling Harry she knew he was "the one" right away and could not wait to start their next chapter together.
