Thank you, Meghan and Harry.

Imagining a world where love paves the way.

1. I watched some of it, the American preacher was amazing.

For a few minutes I actually forgot about the complete and total disaster our lives are.

[Upthevibe]

2. Me too...It made me forget momentarily...

They're an adorable couple. I loved the preacher too...

10. Please remember that your life could sincerely be a lot worse. It's easy

to find things to be grateful for....like we can flush our bodily waste away and think I'll get a drink from my fridge where I have several varieties to choose from. Already I'm doing better than lots of folks in this world.

16. No FUCK that, nazis are running things.

3. Yes We have a political party that uses hate to win elections and is supported by white Evangelicals

who claim to be Christians.

Matthew 22:36-40 New International Version (NIV)

36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”

37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’[a] 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

BUT THEY HATE THE TEACHINGS OF JESUS
AND THEY HATE THEIR NEIGHBORS

4. Love "just lit 2 billion people up with social justice preaching."

Today it seems like there's hope for us all.

5. I didn't appreciate Beatrice's and Eugenie's little smirks

during part of the sermon.

No wonder Diana wanted her boys out of the rarifed atmosphere of the super-rich and privileged when they were boys.

8. I know what you mean.

Those women don't have a clue. They seem to have had smirks on their faces whenever I've seen them. I guess they're compensating for poor self-esteem, and have cultivated the condescending look.

6. D'ya suppose Prince Charles looked down at his feet while it was being sung?

D'ya suppose he looked down at his feet while it was being sung?

Almost like the song was dedicated to Princess Diana and a dig at Prince Charles.

7. I think he redeemed himself with the gentlemanly way he escorted Meghan's mother

after the service.

9. So do I. His demeanor and facial expressions and body language

all suggested someone who was genuinely enjoying a great day for his last bachelor son. Seeing his younger son happy, partnering with a truly remarkable woman who’s captured his country’s hearts, I’d guess there was no pretense there. Just my guess, as a parent.

Seeing your kid married off. I got there myself a couple of years ago. Hard to express, fully, just what an amazing sense of satisfaction, relief, and gratitude I felt. The knowing - that they met someone who was a full, enthusiastic, and loving partner - that strongly suggests your baby won’t be facing the world, and the inevitable bumps ‘n’ grinds of living (yes, even for Meghan), alone. I can’t adequately express what that meant to me. I can barely articulate how much that meant to me. Just as a parent, I’d say ol’ Charles, too, was filled with those feelings.

And consider the adversities Harry faced. He hasn’t had a perfect past or a carefree life. Losing his mom at a young and vulnerable age, having to navigate THAT kind of “family business” in public with all those centuries of tradition and the demands of an outfit like the monarchy, going through some funky years as a wild young dude, and seeing two tours in Afghanistan. He even seriously considered renouncing royal life. From everything I’ve studied about it, that’s pretty freakin’ huge!

I’ve always felt sorry for Charles. He’s the unfortunate individual who’s caught between The Old World and the New. And not knowing where the bridge was, on which to straddle those two worlds and transition from past to a dramatically evolving present. There’ve been times when I watched what was an apparent conflict in him as he struggled to do what he’s been groomed for, and to do what he felt was right by his people, his country, and its powerful history. This morning, I watched him have what looked like a genuinely good time. Very satisfying.

12. Well said.

I also thought that he was remembering the day that he married Diana. I was glad that he could rise to the occasion for his son.

11. Their wedding was a bright, sweet spot in a bleak

couple of years. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

[mia]

13. I enjoyed it too and am looking forward to another bright spot.

It was nice to spend a day not reflecting on politics.

[Hekate]

14. Gorgeous: the setting, the singers, the music

Thank you so much, mia.

[Raine]

15. Beautiful and uplifting

came at just the right time, I needed a break from all the doom and gloom!
