It was too rehearsed, too Hollywood, too fake. Completely out of place at a royal wedding. And too bloody long! I don’t believe it went down well.
-
I invite you to listen to the message more than you are right now.
-
I was too distracted by his theatrics to listen to his message properly.
-
And typically, sermons in any American church are much longer
. I think you’d find that the bishop speaks very much from his soul, especially if you listen to some other sermons he’s given. The royal couple invited him, and he was true to himself, his beliefs, and his culture. -
I know all that, and it’s great. However I still don’t think it worked for this particular wedding in this particular setting.
-
Ok, and I understand that some things aren’t some people’s cup of tea. I can absolutely respect that. But this wasn’t your wedding. I don’t want to minimize your feelings or beliefs, but i think it’s safe to say that this is a classic case of “none of your business.”
-
I guess we’ll find out in the next few days/weeks what the royal family really thought of it. But there’s a part of me that thinks, if they didn’t really enjoy it, that won’t let their true feelings known. Which is typical of the royal family.

Do you really think they didnt do their research and really had no clue what to expect?

It isn't over the top if that is what the married couple wanted. It isn't about your expectations. Get a grip.

The couple wanted it and they got what they wanted. And we loved it......

As a Brit I thought it was brilliant, different certainly, but there’s no harm in that. Don’t forget, his sermon would’ve been submitted for approval by the Royal Household so it wouldn’t have been a surprise.
-
I don’t think it’s the words in the sermon, but how he delivered them that may have irked some of the royals.
-
You should know that this sermon is customary for Meghan, her mom and for many people there. You’re not culturally aware.
-
I am culturally aware, I know exactly that that was customary for Meghsn and her mom and others. However when one is invited in front of the Queen you follow her customs, and that was definitely not customary for her. Hence the shocked expressions on the guests.

-
It was Megan's wedding, not the Queen's. I'm sure she would gladly suffer this for for the happiness of her new family. That was classy of her, as expected from a great lady!
-
Well yeah, she did suffer it. And I’m glad she did as it is Meghan’s day. Still doesn’t take away that the way of delivery was definitely out of place for a royal wedding.
-
It’s just silly to believe that the Queen would be surprised by any of the ceremony or that she didn’t have final say in all of it.
-
I think You’re missing my point a bit. I’m sure the queen etc knew everything that was due to happen, I just doubt they expected that kind of lively delivery of a sermon in a holy place, during a wedding. And that it went on so long.
