Prince Harry and Meghan Markle: Church Service, Carriage Procession - May 19, 2018

[Fem]

That’s just how they feel about each other. There is no right or wrong way for this.

Well, we have to disagree here. At some point it's just awkward. 30-something people should be able to get through the ceremony without constantly holding hands.

 

[Mbruno]

Meghan not reciting Our Father apparently.

 

[Fem]

The choir sounds amazing, simple and beautiful. I love the music chosen for this (with some exceptions), I wonder if Prince Charles had made a few suggestions.

They should do whatever makes them happy. If that’s holding hands than that’s fine. It’s their wedding.

Prince Charles extended his hand to Doria.

 

[Purrs]

Prince Charles and Doria apparently are the 2 witnesses signing the register - lovely symbolism of the 2 parents present.I love the cello playing.

 

[Mbruno]

As a Catholic, I am always amazed at how those Protestant wedding services feel so short !

 

[Lee-Z]

Eh....Zara and Mike... we're still on the air

 

[mgrant]

Is Carey Mulligan there?

Yes, she is there. They pointed her out as she arrived.

 

[Zonk]

I believe Charles did have some input with the wedding selections. The music is fantastic.

I love that Harry and Meghan chose their parents to be their sign their registry.

 

[Curbside]

I think the hand holding is adorable.

 

[Kronprinz]

Christ, looks like Mike was about to kiss Zara there!

 

[RoyalHighness 2002]

Constantine and Anne Marie?

The only other person I saw was Maria-Olympia

 

[AdmirerUS]

I'm neither a traditionalist nor a Catholic, but damn, that was just weird.

And long.
So damn long.

Going to disagree - given that M and H are not soft spoken about good works/service toward others, I think the topic was spot on for them.

And not long by US standards. At least there was some harmless humor.

I liked it was even surprised by it! Fire up.

 

[Pranter]

Eh....Zara and Mike... we're still on the air

All he did was move close to hear and speak ..lol not like he laid one on her!

I agree with you, but I think the Orthodox services are much longer than Catholic ones !

 

[queenvic29]

Charles seeming totally content with Harry and Meghan's union melts my heart.

 

[US Royal Watcher]

It was sweet to see Prince Charles reach out to Meghan's mother, who afterall, was sitting alone. Zara looks a bit uncomfortable--I hope she feels well enough to go to the evening reception.

 

[Sunnystar]

Short by American standards! lol

That's what I tweeted back at Phil Dampier! I didn't think the sermon was terribly long at all. Granted, I haven't been to church in a good many years but almost all of my Protestant mainstream US church sermons ran about 10-15 minutes (and I went to church regularly until my mid-20s).

 

[An Ard Ri]

Guide me O thou great redeemer is a bit more to my personal tastes!

 

[Zonk]

The cellist was fantastic!

 

[Lee27]

In England, it is called an Address while in the US it is called a Sermon. That is why for non Americans, it was a bit much. But for us Americans, it was short.

 

[Mbruno]

I agree with you, but I think the Orthodox services are much longer than Catholic ones !

Yes, nothing beats a Greek wedding ! Didn’t Juan Carlos and Sophia have both ? The lucky few !

 

[irish_royalist]

This young cellist is fabulous!!

The topic was fine, even if simple and repetitive, but all the yelling in the church isn't really my thing.

I think I had similar feelings about it as the BRF ?

 

[PetticoatLane]

This cellist is glorious

 

[mgrant]

Beautiful work by the young cellist. I love Ave Maria.

It’s not like they are making out ang groping each other. It’s just holding hands.

 

[Charlotte_Aster]

Ahhh Ave Maria!!! There's nothing like it

 

[Erin9]

I love Ave Maria. Beautiful choice.
