SPARKLING DUCHESS

A post shared by People on Instagram showed Markle in the company of her husband. She sparkled in a sheer black tulle dress by Valentino which sells for $13, 500. The dress featured sequin embellishments, long voluminous sleeves, and a deep v-neck.

The Duchess of Sussex accessorized with gold earrings shaped like wings and wore her hair in her signature bun. She beamed beside the Prince and looked radiant. Apart from the former actress's stunning look, she had a unique role at the wedding.

The mom-of-one gave a reading of "The Vow" by Roger McGough; she chose the passage herself and was the only guest to do so. An excerpt from the poem read,

"I vow to honor the commitment made this day, which unlike flowers and cakes will not wither, and die. A promise not to obey, but to respond joyfully. To forgive, and to console. For once incomplete, we are now whole."

MARKLE AND NONOO SHARE A CLOSE BOND

The wedding took place at the exclusive Villa Aurelian and boasted of the presence of A-List individuals from the fashion world, politics, and Hollywood. Ivanka Trump, and her husband, Jared Kushner, graced the event, as well as Katy Perry, and her fiancé Orlando Bloom.

Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie were also in attendance, with James Corden, and Paul McCartney. While the guest list is impressive, the former "Suits" star, holds the title of "Special guest of honor."

Although the exact timeline of Meghan's friendship with Nonoo remains elusive, the two share a deep bond, and the bride introduced Markle to Prince Harry in 2016.

Despite, Markle's royal status, the relationship between her, and the designer has not changed, and they remain true to their friendship.
