Last night, the world and Meghan Markle bid ‘adieu’ to her character Rachel Zane following her marriage to Mike Ross (played by Patrick J.Adams) in the season seven finale.
However, if the real-life bride-to-be – who is set to marry Prince Harry on 19 May – is struggling for some wedding vow inspiration in the lead up to her big day, we suggest she lift a few lines from her fictional wedding.
We can keep a secret, Megs! Who's going to know, right?

In the tear-jerker of a wedding scene, Rachel and Mike say their own vows. ‘From the first second I knew I wanted to be with you someday, walking down the aisle, arm in arm,’ Mike told Rachel as she walked up the aisle with her father to John Legend's ‘All Of Me’.
Rachel then told Mike: ‘I know that I thought it at first but now Mike I can't imagine living alongside anyone else for the rest of my life.’
Mike continued: ‘If I have learnt one thing it's that we never know what the future holds, and that is a scary thing. But I know there is nothing I can't handle with you by my side.’
Rachel replied to her on-screen husband-to-be: ‘You are the strongest man I have ever met, and you make me stronger. You are the husband I have always wanted and I can't wait to begin our adventure together.’
Oh crikey, we’re already welling up.
Mike was then asked: ‘Do you Michael James Ross, take Rachel Elizabeth Zane to be your lawfully wedded wife,’ to which he replied: ‘I do.’
‘And do you Rachel, take Michael to be your lawfully wedded husband?’ ‘I do,’ Rachel answered.
‘And I now pronounce you man and wife,’ the priest declared, as the newlyweds walked down the aisle together to an eruption of cheers from their guests.
If this scene isn’t recreated between Meghan Markle and Prince Harry at the alter come May, we're going to have some seriously stern words with the pair.
No, we're not quite sure how we'd make that happen either but just know, we won't be happy.
Come on, who doesn’t want to hear Hazza tell his leading lady: ‘I can't imagine living alongside anyone else for the rest of my life.’?
We have goosebumps.
