Princess Eugenie and Jack met through a mutual friend while skiing at Verbier in Switzerland in 2010. "It was love at first sight," the royal told ITV News in an interview alongside her future husband earlier this week. They "just stared at each other. Eugenie also shared that she initially thought: "'Who is that?'" She added, "and then you came over and shook my hand. I was all butterflies and nervous. I think I rang my mom that night and said, 'I just met this guy, Jack' and that was it I think, and this is how it started. And I remember being like 'I really, really like this guy and I really want him to like me, too' and then you gave me this huge windscreen wiper wave and I was like 'right, he likes me.'" The couple is still head over heels for each other. Jack called Eugenie a "bright shining light."
Jack popped the question in January while they were on vacation in Nicaragua. Within a few months the couple was able to organize an extravagant wedding with the help of the royal family. Everything from the bride's gorgeous gown and jewels to the extravagant party arrangements will floor you.
