    On Saturday May 19, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will officially tie the knot at St. George's Chapel, Windsor Castle. Since we don't want you to find yourself scrambling on the big day, we're tracking every detail on how to watch the most highly-anticipated royal event event of the year straight from your couch. (It starts early, Americans, so "couch" is probably your ideal vantage point.)

    The wedding will be televised in a live segment for the world, which means all media outlets including cable TV can broadcast the event. A spokesperson for the royal couple has also confirmed this. This isn't a surprise, seeing as Princess Diana and Prince Charles had their wedding televised in 1981, as did the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge in 2011 (with more than 23 million viewers in the U.S. alone).

    The wedding service will begin at noon London time (which means 7 a.m. EST/4 a.m. PST). At 1 p.m. the married couple will go on a carriage procession from St. George's Chapel through Windsor Town returning to Windsor Castle. After this, Harry and Meghan will have not one but two receptions—one immediately after the service hosted by the Queen and one in the evening hosted by Prince Charles (though the receptions likely won't be documented for the public to see).
