Harington and Leslie first met on the set of their show in 2012, where they played an unexpected set of lovers.
The 31-year-old actor opened up about falling for Leslie in the cover of L'Uomo Vogue, saying: "Because the country is beautiful, because the Northern Lights are magical, and because it was there that I fell in love. 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."
He also talked about how he almost ruined his plans for a romantic proposal to his fiancée in an interview with The Jonathan Ross Show.
"I did have some plans to do it, I was going to string up some lights in some trees and do all the romantic stuff, but we were in the country and we were under this beautiful night sky and had a log fire burning and red wine and I blew my load early," he said during the interview as reported by People.
The actor also revealed that he asked the producers of "Game of Thrones" to open up a schedule during the filming of their final season so that their castmates could be present during the special day.
He reminded them that they were the reason he is getting married, so they will have to shut down the production of the series so that everyone could attend the wedding.
Our Windsor also reported that Harington spent over $5,500 for his bachelor party early this month.
According to the report, the actor rented a huge country house in North Wales to celebrate the remaining days of his singlehood.
