Just that really as so much negativity surrounding this wedding.
Meghan looked stunning as did her mother.
The sermon was thoughtful and humorous and Harry looked head over heels in love...

I'm Enjoying it too. It seems very 'real' IYSWIM.

DesignedForLife · 19/05/2018 12:38

It's lovely. They look happy, she looks beautiful. He's going to wear a ring, lovely.

SayImADreamer · 19/05/2018 12:39

Did not appreciate the preacher.

Loved both the choirs.

Nice dress.

Bit sad her mum didnt bring a mate (why?).

GreenItWas · 19/05/2018 12:41

Why couldn't Charles or Kate look at the couple when they were saying their vows?

switswoo81 · 19/05/2018 12:42

I think it’s all absolutely beautiful. The dress is stunning and her make up is fab. Am in Ireland so love the whole pomp and ceremony we don’t have that. Watching it with my mum, she watched Dianas wedding the day before I was born and we are watching it with my 4 week old dd drinking prosecco!

Aprilmightbemynewname · 19/05/2018 12:42

Harry looked a bit sad at times. Maybe thinking about his dm. ...
Lovely service!!

sexnotgender · 19/05/2018 12:42

Greenitwas I noticed that too, very odd! None of the royals were looking at them as they took their vows.

troodiedoo · 19/05/2018 12:43

Love all of it. Congratulations to them.

GalwayWayfarer · 19/05/2018 12:45

She is so beautiful and what a lovely service. I've adored the whole thing.

larla · 19/05/2018 12:46

I had a late night last night so may be emotional but I have tears watching. I think it's just lovely. The little cheeky Prince has grown up. 😥😥

Wingbing · 19/05/2018 12:47

This is so lovely.

sexnotgender · 19/05/2018 12:49

Glad Harry didn’t end up with an identikit society wife.

GreenItWas · 19/05/2018 12:50

Sexnot Yes WTF is that all about? Remember when Harry was born and Charles was disappointed he wasn't a girl? Maybe that theme has continued to date and Charles is Meh about his gorgeous son?
What sort of father isn't looking straight at the couple at this vital vital moment! Tosser!

StickThatInYourPipe · 19/05/2018 12:52

I've really enjoyed it! Although why get married somewhere that blocks the view to most of the guests? Also the bride and groom can't see all the speeches and songs.

She looks lovely though and her mum looks so proud

ManchesterGin · 19/05/2018 12:53

The queen looks fabulous.
I love it all.

LokiBear · 19/05/2018 12:54

Not a massive fan of the dress, its slightly baggy at the top and doesnt do the beautiful Meghan justice imo. Loved the preacher and choir. Feel a bit sorry for her mum all alone but I thought it was lovely that Prince Charles held her hand. Thought it was poor taste for Kate to wear cream....

KC225 · 19/05/2018 12:55

Loving it here in Sweden. She looks beautiful. Love the dress - its perfect.

SayImADreamer · 19/05/2018 12:55

I agree poor taste of Kate.

I also think MMs hairdresser did a shocking job, that bun is falling apart a little.

noblegiraffe · 19/05/2018 12:56

A black preacher vigorously quoting Martin Luther King at a royal wedding in quite stuffy surroundings was quite something. Amazing.

LokiBear · 19/05/2018 12:57

The preacher was brilliant. Vibrabt abd full of passion. The stiff British aristocracy needs that!

ghostyslovesheets · 19/05/2018 12:58

YANBU to try OP - but it seems people can't say something nice without a teeny tiny negative - which is a shame

I thought it was lovely

daisychain01 · 19/05/2018 12:58

Two heroes of the wedding imo

Charles for giving Meghan away and for waiting for Megan's DM and going in with her to sign the Register.

Prince Philip for being an absolute trouper for walking absolutely ramrod straight into the Chapel. Bollox to sticks or zimmerframe I bet he said.
Made me quite tearful. Brave man

LooksBetterWithAFilter · 19/05/2018 13:00

Think the dress is perfect very simple and classy.
Agree with Weezol it seems very real despite all the media coverage and circus around it, it did just seem like a wedding.
Harry looked nervous and a little emotional at times Megan just looked so happy. I am not ashamed to admit I have walked up a couple of times watching it.
7 year old ds2 are on our own today so we went to the supermarket and bought some fizzy grape juice and party food lunch. We took out the special glasses and he sat and had lunch with me while we watched it. We’ve had a lovely afternoon.

Queenoftheblitz · 19/05/2018 13:00

Loved the royals stifling giggles at the preacher. Camilla on the xanex.
Meg looks lovely.

OrcinusOrca · 19/05/2018 13:02

Is Kate really in cream? It looks a lemony yellow in some lights.

I agree re very real. Meghan's hair is a little loose on her left side and her veil is a logistical annoyance, all the things you don't get chance to trial before the day Smile
