While Harington popularly played one of the lead roles, Jon Snow, in the epic drama, Leslie made several appearances as Ygritte during seasons two and four.

Their on-screen romance eventually ended in 2014 when the actress’ character was killed off during the Battle of Castle Black.

Meanwhile, the two had already started an off-screen romance by that time.

“I met my wife in this show, so in that way, it gave me my future family, and my life from here on in,” the actor gushed about his wife backstage at the 2018 Emmy Awards. “That’s the main thing it did for me, and it’s changed it completely.”

Wedding Bells — Getting Down on One Knee

After being in a relationship for more than five years, Harington and Leslie formally announced the engagement in an old-fashioned way via the London newspaper — The Times.

“Mr. KC [Kit Catesby] Harington and Miss RE [Rose Eleanor] Leslie,” the headline for September 27, 2017, story read.

It continued, “The engagement is announced between Kit, younger son of David and Deborah Harington of Worcestershire, and Rose, middle daughter of Sebastian and Candy Leslie of Aberdeenshire.”

The Eternals actor reportedly got down on one knee and proposed to his now-wife.

And while Leslie happily accepted the proposal, Harington told British TV host, Jonathan Ross, that he fumbled during the big moment.

Kit Harington and Rose Leslie’s Fairy-Tale Wedding

Fans — and more especially the couple themselves — were delighted when the lovebirds eventually walked down the aisle in June 2018.

The couple had a fairy-tale wedding at the Kirkton of Rayne Church at Wardhill Castle in Scotland. The castle, constructed in the 1100s, is reportedly owned by Leslie’s family.

According to Daily Mail, the estate was decorated with signs that read “Mr & Mrs” and “Happy Ever After.”

On the big day, the bride wore a long-sleeve ivory dress with lace embellishments, a floral headpiece, and a long veil. On the other hand, the groom dashed a tuxedo with a cream-colored vest and tails.

The couple also walked hand-in-hand through the garden after their private ceremony.

In addition, the ceremony was a star-studded affair, with most of the Game of Thrones actors in attendance.

Stars like Peter Dinklage, Maisie Williams, Sophie Turner, Liam Cunningham, Emilia Clarke, John Bradley, Joe Dempsie, and Conleth Hill marked their presence wearing designer suits and dresses.

And there was Richard Madden, who played Robb Stark in the HBO hit, who made an entrance in a kilt.
