Royal Wedding: Everything we know about Meghan Markle's first wedding.

Meghan Markle will be married for the second time on Saturday. And we’re just going to make assumptions here, but it probably won’t be anything like her first wedding.

In 2011, the soon-to-be-princess married Trevor Engelson, a movie producer and her boyfriend of seven years, in a beach ceremony, The Mirror reports.

The pair wed at the Jamaica Inn in Ocho Rios on September 10 in front of family and friends who they’d invited to share in their big day – and three days of celebrations afterwards.

Meghan wore a simple, white, full length, strapless dress with a silver-belted waist and had simple hair (out, wavy) and jewellery (one gold bracelet and her wedding rings) to match. Her groom looked just as relaxed in a white shirt with an open collar and no tie. Her bridesmaids were in peach floor-length dresses.

The actress's wedding prep was also far more relaxed than it's likely going to be on Saturday, with the 36-year-old having time for a dip in the pool on the morning of her big day.

After the ceremony the couple reportedly served up a barbecue feast for their 102 guests and danced into the night, getting up on chairs for the traditional Jewish horah at one point.

"The ceremony was over very quickly, in about 15 minutes. Then everyone hit the dance floor. It seemed they all just wanted to party," a guest told The Sun.

The wedding was followed by three more days of celebrations for the guests, which included a game of 'wheelbarrow' on the beach. (If this happens at Prince Harry and Meghan's wedding we owe you a $1,000,000.)

Of course as happy as the couple seemed to be on the day, it didn't last. Long distance got to them and the pair divorced in August 2013, almost two years later.
