Amal and George Clooney? Who else? We won't know until the day.
All three siblings of Diana, Princess of Wales, will be there, with sister Lady Jane Fellowes chosen to give the reading.
Meghan's mother Doria Ragland is said to be walking her from the car to the church, and who knows who will walk her down the aisle now that Meghan's dad Thomas (Tom) Markle is out.

The Dean of Windsor David Conner will conduct the service, and the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby will officiate as the couple exchange marriage vows.
10pm AEST (1pm local time):
The couple will leave the chapel once the ceremony is over - then speak to 200 representatives from charities Prince Harry is associated with. Now that's commitment!
Then they will board an Ascot Landau carriage pulled by Windsor Grey horses for their procession through the town, which takes 25 minutes.
They'll be returning to Windsor Castle via the Long Walk.
From 11pm AEST (2pm local time)
The first of two receptions of the day.
The first reception will be held in St George's Hall inside the castle.
All of the 600 guests invited to the wedding will be seated at this event.

This is the second reception of the day to be held at Frogmore House.
Only 200 guests have an invitation to this more event, a more intimate gathering.
WHAT TIME IS THE KISS!!!!!!!?????
There has been no announcement about when the couple may share their first married kiss in public, and there is no balcony schedule for this.
We predict it'll be in there somewhere! The eager GLOBAL public want to see it!
Oh yeah, and the DRESS!
MEGHAN stunning dress is said to have been revealed this week. Well, some details about it.
The $180,000 (YES!) wedding dress has been revealed, it has been reported.
The 'Daily Mail' reports the Royal bride will walk down the aisle in a hand-stitched gown by London-based Australian fashion designers Ralph & Russo.
Meghan will reportedly wear the gown during the service and at a reception in St George’s Hall, Windsor Castle, afterwards.
