The engagement: On February 21, 2018, The Prince's Palace of Monaco released a statement reading: “S.A.S. Princess Stephanie is pleased to share with you the engagement of her son Louis Ducruet with Miss Marie Chevallier." But we were able to see the moment itself, which took place on a beach at Vietnam's Four Seasons Resort The Nam Hai, thanks to the bride and groom's social media accounts! Prince Albert's nephew posted the engagement to Instagram, writing, “Let me introduce you the future madame Ducruet ❤️ she said yes and we are now engaged  #withlove #engagement #proposal #iloveyou @mariehoachevallier.” The wedding: We can expect a turnout from the Monaco royal family on the Big Day, which is Princess Stephanie's first turn as mother-of-the-groom. Louis’ two younger sisters, Pauline Ducruet, 23, and Camille Gottlieb, 19 – the trio call themselves "The Three Musketeers" – will definitely attend as well. Its also likely we'll see Princess Caroline and her children and Prince Albert and Princess Charlene, who have shared the spotlight with the couple on numerous occasions.

PRINCESS EUGENIE AND JACK BROOKSBANKDate: October 12, 2018Location: St George's Chapel, Windsor, England The bride: Princess Eugenie is the younger sister of Princess Beatrice, and her parents are Queen Elizabeth's son Prince Andrew and Sarah, Duchess of York. The groom: Jack is the son of Nicola and George Brooksbank and a Brand Ambassador of Casamigos tequila, which was founded by George Clooney. Jack has worked in bars and pubs, including London hotspot Mahiki, for several years and has said he wants to create a chain of pubs. How they met: Jack and Eugenie first became acquainted while skiing at the royal hotspot Verbier in Switzerland back in 2010, and were introduced by mutual friends. Fun fact: he and Eugenie are actually distantly related! Sarah, Duchess of York is the great-great-granddaughter of Lady Julia Coke, who is the daughter of Jack's great-great-grandfather, Thomas Coke.Photo: Getty Images

The engagement: On The One Show, Eugenie revealed how Jack proposed in Nicaragua in January 2018. She said: "The lake was so beautiful, it was a special light and I even said, 'This is an incredible moment' and then he popped the question – which was really surprising even though we had been together seven years! It was the perfect moment." Her engagement ring contains a colorful padparadscha sapphire surrounded by diamonds and is believed to have been inspired by Eugenie's mother, the Duchess of York's own Burmese ruby engagement ring. The wedding: Held months after Harry and Meghan's wedding at St George's, we can expect the traditional carriage ride through Windsor, and of course we can't wait to see the royal guests such as exuberant mother-of-the-bride Sarah, Duchess of York. We also look forward to some very personal touches – Eugenie and Jack took the time to send handwritten thank you notes to their engagement wellwishers, and we hope to see some similar homespun gestures.Photo: Getty Images

PRINCE HARRY and MEGHAN MARKLEDate: May 19, 2018Location: St George's Chapel, Windsor, England The groom: Prince Harry, Queen Elizabeth's grandson, is the son of Prince Charles and the late Princess Diana. Once known as a cheeky royal in the spotlight for his personal antics, in recent years he has made a name for himself as a dedicated soldier and passionate supporter of charities, particularly those relating to veterans, such as the Invictus Games and mental health like Heads Together. The bride: A native of Los Angeles, Meghan has spent her recent years living in Toronto, Canada as she starred on the legal TV drama Suits. Since becoming engaged, the former actress has moved in with Prince Harry at Kensington Palace and is dedicated to charity work, learning the royal ropes and getting to know her new country. How they met: During their BBC engagement interview, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle revealed that they were initially set up on a blind date by a mutual friend in July 2016. Meghan admitted she "didn't know much" about the Prince. "The only thing I had asked her when she said she wanted to set us up, was 'was he nice?' If he wasn't kind, it didn't seem like it would make sense," she shared. Harry, meanwhile, said he had not been aware of Meghan before their first meeting in London, but said they fell in love "so incredibly quickly" after that first meeting.Photo: Getty Images

The engagement: The pair announced their happy news on November 27 in a statement released from Clarence House which revealed that the couple became engaged in London in early November. "Prince Harry has informed Her Majesty the Queen and other close members of his family. Prince Harry has also sought and received the blessing of Ms. Markle’s parents," read the statement. Later that day the couple posed for the press and Meghan showed off her new engagement ring: a custom Cleave and Company trilogy ring featuring diamonds specially selected by the Prince; a central gem from Botswana, where the couple vacationed together, and the other two from his late mother Princess Diana's personal collection. The wedding: Fans are looking forward to star-spotting the celebrity guests – including some of Meghan's Suits co-stars – as well as Prince George and Princess Charlotte as pageboy and flower girl. After the one-hour ceremony at St George's, in which it is likely the bride will wear a tiara and the groom will appear in military uniform, Harry and Meghan will take part in a carriage procession around Windsor before a reception at Windsor Castle. A royal spokesman has previously said that the day will "reflect the characters of the bride and groom," and that it will be full of "fun and joy". Photo: Getty Images
