Inside Meghan Markle's first wedding to Trevor Engelson

Her wedding to Prince Harry is shaping up to be the most talked about event of the year, but it won't be the first time Meghan Markle is walking down the aisle.

Far from the grand halls of Windsor Castle and the ornate altar of St George's Chapel, when the 36-year-old former actress tied the knot to ex-husband Trevor Engelson, she did so in the most relaxed fashion possible; barefoot on the beach.

Meghan and the Hollywood executive, who met while they were both in university, said 'I do' in a romantic ceremony in Ocho Rios, Jamaica, back in 2011 - the same year Prince Harry was served as best man at his brother Prince William's wedding.

The event was held on the sand, under the stars, with over 100 friends and family members in attendance. Chairs and tables, draped in white tablecloths, were set up on the beach within an open-topped marquee surrounded by white lanterns.

To the side, there was a large black platform serving as a dance floor so guests didn't have to shimmy on the sand.

A relaxed Meghan wore a simple, strapless white gown, which was cinched in at the waist with a glittering diamanté belt, while her groom was dressed in a white shirt and trousers.

Photos taken earlier in the day portray just as laid-back a scene, with Meghan appearing to play beer pong while dressed in a yellow polka dot bikini and a trucker hat.

Guests, who were also wearing swimmers and shorts, whittled away the day with other games on the beach such as wheelbarrow racing.

Meghan’s beloved mother, Doria, was also taking part, and appears in one photos in a black bikini.

While the day looked stunning, Meghan and Trevor’s marriage didn’t last long, and just two years after they became man and wife, the pair had gone their separate ways, citing 'irreconcilable differences' on their divorce papers.

Rumours have been swirling that Meghan’s career might have been to blame, with her role on Suits taking her to Toronto.

Trevor, now 41, remained in LA while his new wife commuted between the couple’s home in the States and her filming schedule in Canada.

While Trevor has so far stayed mum on his ex, a report last year claimed the film producer could be about to lift the lid on all of Meghan’s secrets - including a bombshell allegation of an "emotional affair".

“Trevor and Meghan’s marriage broke down when she moved to Toronto, where Suits is filmed, and it was the distance that tore them apart,” a source told Woman’s Day.

“Trevor also had suspicions that Meghan was having an emotional affair with a co-star.”

The report claimed that although Trevor hasn’t yet signed the book deal, he’s got plenty of dirt to dish on Meghan, including her diva-like ways when she didn’t get her way, and her 'wild cat' tendencies in the bedroom.
