Ahead of her highly anticipated royal wedding, Meghan Markle said “I do” and farewell on Wednesday during the Season 7 finale of USA Network’s Suits.

In the two-hour finale, Markle’s character, Rachel Zane, married her long-time love Mike Ross (Patrick J. Adams). The episode marked the last for both Markle and Adams, whose characters were written out of the legal drama after they accepted an offer to run a firm in Seattle that specialised in class-action lawsuits against Fortune 500 companies.

“If we’re ever going to do something like this in our lives, now’s the time,” Rachel told Mike in the finale.

Markle’s rushed TV wedding will no doubt be in stark contrast to her heavily hyped and carefully planned royal nuptials to Prince Harry, set to take place May 19 at Windsor Castle in England. Her exit from Suits comes as she prepares to retire from acting altogether to focus on her humanitarian work and her new duties as a member of the British royal family.

Her wedding attire will also no doubt differ from that of her character’s. Rachel opted to show some skin on her big day with a white dress that sported a low back and also allowed her to show off her shoulders. Meanwhile, Rachel wore her hair simple, straight and down.

“You’re the husband I’ve always wanted and I can’t wait to begin our adventure together,” Rachel told Mike in her vows.
