Prince Harry's wedding to Meghan Markle has been all the media has talked about recently (and rightfully so). It was truly an event that no one will ever forget. There is just something about the rich history and tradition of the British monarchy that fascinates people around the world.

Although some may argue that the media (and people in general) should be focusing on more important news stories, this wedding deserves the attention. The last of Prince Charles and the late Princess Diana's two children just married a woman unlike any other in the royal family. That is a momentous occasion and a more lighthearted news story that we could all use right now.

The happy couple's big day also featured many modern twists and differences as well. The more intimate ceremony space at Windsor Castle made for a gorgeous wedding. The newly titled Duke and Duchess of Sussex got to ride in a horse-drawn carriage down the "Long Walk" leading to the castle as they waved to adoring fans.

The couple also invited amazing people who dedicate their lives to community service and other causes to be the ones right outside of the chapel where they were the only ones who got to see the couple's much anticipated first kiss.

The bride and groom also decided to have American preacher (and bishop) Michael Curry give a powerful and spirited sermon about the power of love during the ceremony. His passionate speech may not have been quite what the royal family is used to, but everyone loved it and took his message to heart.

The star-studded guest list was also extremely impressive (and rumor has it that many of the celebs had a great time at the intimate evening party later on). Oprah, James Corden, George and Amal Clooney, and Serena Williams (just to name a few) were just some of the well-dressed stars at this royal wedding.

Of course, much of the drama leading up to the wedding was about Meghan's father and whether or not he would attend. In his absence, Meghan and her new father-in-law, Prince Charles, shared a wonderful moment as he walked her down the aisle. Although, in tune with the modern essence of the nuptials, he did not "give away" Meghan to Harry.

Overall, the wedding of the new Duke and Duchess of Sussex was a modern yet historical occasion full of love and joy. The British monarchy is becoming more and more diverse and representative of the twenty-first century. Princess Diana would be so proud of her second son for marrying the woman he loves, despite their differences and comments from critics. The monarchy is entering a truly exciting time as the family continues to expand and do so much good in the world.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
