The Royal Wedding Countdown Has Begun And Twitter Can't Keep Calm

In just a few hours from now, Britain's Prince Harry will wed American actor Meghan Markle in what may very well be the wedding of the year. The much-awaited royal wedding has led to plenty of speculation, even more souvenirs to stock up on, a lot of bets, Internet quizzes, gossip and generally much anticipation and hype. On Twitter, while there are some who can't wait for the royal wedding hysteria to die down, many are excitedly waiting for the celebrations to begin. So while we wait, here are some tweets on the royal wedding to get you in a celebratory mood too.

There are jokes galore
 

US radio host has just asked "How long has this royal hype been going on here?"
"More than a thousand years," I said.
"You are kidding me."

Looks at Twitter Feed: "Are you ready for the Royal Wedding?"
Listens to Radio: "Are you ready for the Royal Wedding?"
Turns on TV: "Are you ready for the Royal Wedding?"

Genuinely not sure if I'm ready or what sort of preparation is required from me.

it's hard to think of a combination of two words that could excite me less than "royal wedding"

Most people agree that there is plenty to get excited about
 

i'm so excited about the Royal Wedding tomorrow! This beautiful occasion made me think about a beautiful woman, Princess Diana. "I like to be a free spirit. Some don't like that, but that's the way i am." -Princess Diana pic.twitter.com/xcdjhwlv2B

I can't believe the Royal Wedding is today! I hope Harry & Meghan have the most enjoyable day possible! I'm not sure what I'm more excited for, Meghan's dress or all of the fancy hats!

My husband asked why I want to watch the royal wedding, and I shriveled down and clasped my gnarled hands together and Gollum whispered, "DRESSES."

Since Harry and Meghan announced their engagement in April, their wedding has been hugely-anticipated. Speculations are rife about which designer Meghan Markle will choose for her wedding dress, whether Prince Harry will shave off his ginger beard and what food and drinks will be served to the guests.

The wedding will take place at St. George's Chapel at the Windsor Castle. The wedding service will take place at noon (approximately 4.30 pm IST) and will be followed by a carriage procession, a lunchtime reception and an evening party. Among the guests in attendance will be Bollywood superstar Priyanka Chopra, a friend of Meghan Markle.

After the wedding, Queen Elizabeth II will host a reception for 600 people at Windsor Castle's St. George's Hall. A private reception for 200 close friends will be hosted in the evening by Harry's father, Prince Charles - who will also be walking Meghan Markle down the aisle.
