Happy Royal Wedding Day!

[Schaumburger]

Loved the royal wedding; Meghan and Harry (now the Duke and Duchess of Sussex) looked so happy. Thank you Presiding Bishop Michael Curry for your inspirational sermon. Great music. Princess Diana must be smiling down from Heaven today.

Was it today?
I missed it.
I bought a nice hat too.
When is the next one?

Princess Eugenie (daughter of Prince Andrew & Sarah Ferguson) will marry Jack Brooksbank on October 12 at St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle (same place as today's wedding). So you can wear your hat to that wedding. LOL.

I wonder if it is recorded online? I heard also that the sermon was quite good. I watched some of it on many different media Facebook feeds. I found this off of Facebook-- “The Power of Love”— Bishop Michael Curry's sermon at the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle | The Archbishop Of Canterbury (https://www.archbishopofcanterbury.org/speaking-and-writing/sermons/power-love-bishop-michael-currys-sermon-wedding-prince-harry-and)

And what is it with all the hats? Is there a law about hats in UK weddings or just tradition like with the Kentucky Derby?

[My Post]

They actually toned down the hats from last time.

Preachers in the U.S. preach like that all the time, for hours on end, I guess it's new to the UK?

I feeeeeeellllllllaaaaaa ttttthhhhhheeeeeeee LLLLLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWDDDDDD.

Like Eddie Murphy when he is playing the one guy in "Coming to America."

[My Post]

I see they left a spot open for Di, two spots down of Camilla who she just absolutely loathed....

[Nucky]

I watch the entire thing to support my wife. I figure if she can watch Gas Monkey Garage and Swamp People I can watch one quick Wedding. Oh, my Lord, I thought it would never end. But I must admit it wasn't as bad as I thought it was. The Brit's are in shock. That's all I'm gonna say. They had the same look as some people in the United States during the halftime of certain Superbowls.

I didn't get them a gift !

Over here in France, I watched the wedding at a girls-only party. There were three Brits, three French, and three Americans. One of the Brits told me that Camilla has been so very good to those boys, and they both love her. The Brits also said the marriage between Charles and Diana was simply to provide heirs to the throne. I wonder if she realized it. I didn't ask. It's a shame the way Diana was treated.

I did think the hats were toned down from Kate & Will's wedding.

I am watching it now. Bishop Curry's style reminds me of this scene. Blues Brothers Worship Service - YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9k5N4KrZ0pw)

[Madelaine Amee]

I watched it, although I did not hang in there during Bishop Curry's sermon on Love - I made breakfast instead!!!!

I was very impressed with Prince Charles, I have always considered him to be a bit odd, but he certainly came through for the bride and her Mother when the families went to sign the registrar. I think he will make an excellent King when the time comes.

Those Brits certainly know how to do a parade!

[Madelaine Amee]

I am watching it now. Bishop Curry's way over the top emotionally charged sermon approaches something out of the Blues Brother's movie as much as it can get by with in that staid English venue. Blues Brothers Worship Service - YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9k5N4KrZ0pw)

I did notice some eye rolling and looks of amazement on the faces of guests ................ later in the day I saw an interview with him and the Archbishop of Canterbury and he was totally different, very well spoken and had an excellent sense of humor - I think he got a bit carried away!

The reviews I've seen online...have predominantly been positive.

With a lot of comments along the lines of... "the Royals can use a little loosening up."

I guess even 'stiff upper lips'...need to bend skyward occasionally. :D

[NotGolfer]

It was a lovely wedding! I TIVO'd it from PBS so it was quite long to watch (the pre-thing and all....) I was struck how quiet the Brits are in church---NO clapping to show appreciation for the music offered as is often done in the U.S. The Queen seemed so somber.....but the happy couple were fabulous!!!

[manaboutown]

I did some digging on Bishop Curry who it turns out is quite the radical and uses his office to proselytize his activist beliefs. It felt strange to observe an Episcopal Bishop inappropriately engage in a revival style of preaching a revisionist message in that setting at a formal British royal wedding. I would have been rolling my eyes, too, since he was being so undignified. It seemed bizarre and out of place to me. Amen.

I'm sorry. The joke bombed. That happens. But it was never at anyone's expense but my own. Think of it as a George Castanza moment.

It can suck when you're no longer the..."King of the county." :D

Strict dress code, one of them, hats must be worn by all women, as well as shoulders covered.

Have you seen the picture of the bride’s beagle riding in the car with the queen?

Loverly, absolutely loverly! :)
