Castle set for Game of Thrones wedding

Game of Thrones stars Kit Harington and Rose Leslie are expected to tie the knot today at a castle owned by the bride’s family.

The couple met on the set of the hugely popular fantasy show in 2012, where they played on-screen lovers Jon Snow and Ygritte.

Their engagement was announced in September last year and they are expected to marry today at the 12th century Wardhill Castle in Aberdeenshire.

Leslie left the cast two years after the couple met, while Harington became one of the show’s biggest stars, appearing in every series of the popular TV drama.

In a magazine interview, he said it was “easy” to fall in love with Leslie, saying: “If you’re already attracted to someone, and then they play your love interest in the show, it becomes very easy to fall in love.”
