Harry and Meghan did privately exchange vows days before weddingThe Sussexes exchanged symbolic vows in private three days before their televised wedding ceremony Yes, just not same as a 'secret wedding,' turds. Meghan just wanted to say that to state the wedding was a con on the British public. As an American, i am ashamed of her actions abroad. 3rd rate actress. Her sister may be an eccentric drunk, but she has never been wrong. Just not actually married with the arch bish as described, but yeah if you reach a bit... Unless there were witnesses that is known as a rehearsal.
