The royal wedding is almost upon us!

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are set to say “I do” on Saturday, May 19, at St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle, in England.

Harry, 33, and Markle, 36, will be wed in a ceremony starting at 12 p.m. London time (7 a.m. EST; 4 a.m. PST), followed an hour later by a carriage procession around the town of Windsor.

The Gothic St George’s Chapel is located on the grounds of Windsor Castle, which has been the family home of British kings and queens for almost 1,000 years.

While Prince William and Kate Middleton‘s wedding guests included many officials and dignitaries from around the world, this royal wedding will not. The Associated Press reported last week that Harry and Markle’s wedding guests consist largely of family and friends.

Because Harry — fifth in line to the throne behind his father, his brother, Prince George and Princess Charlotte — isn’t expected to ever become king, Kensington Palace said, “It has been decided that an official list of political leaders, both U.K. and international, is not required” for the wedding.

The Archbishop of Canterbury will officiate the wedding, and the Dean of Windsor will conduct the service.

Pastry chef Claire Ptak of Violet Cakes in London will be baking the official wedding cake, and she said it’ll be a buttercream-topped, lemon elderflower flavoured cake, to “incorporate the bright flavours of spring.”

As for flowers, London florist Philippa Craddock is taking the lead. Markle’s favourite flower is the peony, so expect those to be plentiful.
