Game of Thrones co-actors Kit Harington, Rose Leslie get married; Peter Dinklage, Emilia Clarke among guests

Former Game of Thrones co-stars Kit Harington and Rose Leslie married on 23 June with a church service and a celebration at the bride’s ancestral castle in Scotland. The couple and guests arrived for the afternoon service at Rayne Church, close to the 900-year-old Wardhill Castle in northeast Scotland, which is owned by Leslie’s family. Harington, wearing a morning suit, and Leslie, in a flowing ivory gown and veil, smiled at members of the public who had gathered outside the church.

Harington and Leslie, who are both 31, met in 2012 on the set of the HBO fantasy series, where they played a couple as the characters Jon Snow and Ygritte. Leslie left the cast in 2014 and currently stars in US legal drama The Good Fight. The couple announced their engagement with a notice in the Times of London newspaper in September 2017.
