To have cried buckets at a wedding I thought I didn’t care about?!

[proudbrows]

Just that really! I thought I wasn’t particularly interested in Harry and Meghan but I’ve just watched the live stream and cried buckets, it was all so emotional and touching!!! I adored every moment!!!

Same here no mad royal fan but I feel emotionally drained.

So many human touches... Diana... Doria alone... Prince Charles lone parent... Megan's race, the African element... Charities galore... Fergie... Glad the Middletons we sat back aisle

I missed most of it as I wasn’t really fussed. Just caught the end with the procession through Windsor and a few highlights of the ceremony and that set me off!! Wtf is wrong with us?!

I didn't cry but I did really enjoy it and I wasn't expecting to.

Has anyone mentioned the Queen's outfit, she looked stunning.

I love lime green and purple I think I'll repaint the kitchen those colours

Aww yeah Fergie looked as happy as Larry

Posh.
I see hers
awful siblings disintegrating watching that

I wasn't at all interested. I was reminded that it was happening by colleagues yesterday. I just happened to be ill today and on the sofa so I caught it on catch up. I was really deeply impressed and I honestly feel glad to have seen it. What a surprise.

I thought I didn't care about it at all, but was glued to the TV and she's a fair few tears.

DH and I held onto each other's hands for dear life during our ceremony and I was moved to see H&M holding hands and Harry gently moving his thumb as though to reassure her.

I did think it was a shame that the Main Royals couldn't find it within themselves to look interested or engaged with the Bishop's speech. Other than William they appeared uninterested and tight lipped. Maybe they didn't like his speech- fake enough but no need to be rude....

I have to admit I did only tune in to watch it because everything in the run up seemed to indicate it would be such a shambles, I was anticipating car crash TV. But actually it was beautiful, all of it and I did shed a little tear! Seeing Meghan's mum on her own and when she reached out to hold Charles's hand on leaving with that happy hopeful look in her eyes had me in floods. And Harry looking all nervous

Yanbu.
I welled up whenever her mum was on the screen too.

@sayimadreamer - you do know she was a millionaire before she met Harry, right?

Completely - I'm amazed the Guardian printed that poem. I'd have thought they'd have printed a poem more along the lines of

The royal family are a load of gits
Let's line them up against a wall and shoot them all to bits

I had already had a cry this morning, as my ds rang (we have a difficult relationship ☹️) speaking to him always upsets me.
Bawled my eyes out for the whole wedding 😭😭

I nearly started this thread!

Why was I crying when none of the people in Church, who actually know the Bride and Groom (with the exception of Meghan's Mum) were crying?

I think it's because the close-ups you get from watching it on telly allow you to empathise with the people, and imagine how they are feeling. What set me off was the little page boy's face when the trumpet fanfare started: he looked absolutely thrilled.

10 yo DS2 came and cuddled me because I was crying so much. I said "I'm not sad, DS2, I am just crying because it's all so lovely!"

Bruffen me too she looked so proud of Meghan. I also got really touched when Prince Charles took her hand to go and sign the register. He looked genuinely warm towards her.

Even Prince Harry cried!

I was in kitchen doing batch cooking and preparation and had it on in the background (couldn't avoid it really!) but got totally drawn into a wedding I was indifferent about!

@SayImADreamer, Meghan's mum.

It's Meghan's mum, Doria I feel sorry for.

I have only realised that Megan only had her mum and the only person that Harry did not have there was his mum . Very sad for both of them .

God me too. Complete republican welling up at the beauty of it. Maybe they've been releasing emotional chem trails this week 🤣

I cried buckets too, but more from a selfish point of view that my son won't ever have that experience or the opportunity to ever get married or live independently.

Itv are showing highlights its totes emosh

Well really have to say I just tuned into this by accident when the lovely Eternal source of light devine was being performed and..

Stayed to watch the rest! What can be said that hasnt already it was a superb event by any standards Magnificant historic modern and an odd intimaticy about it, the slight sad sometimes looking Meghan's mum but composed and dignified even prince charlie did well and I think made her very welcome and that bishop! the royals didnt know quite what to make of him did they!?.

But overall I hope they do find happiness and we see an end to what used to heappen to royal maridges these two look in love and much as I've ever seen anyone:-)

And perhaps we should be happy it was a nice day lovely weather proud also the we in the UK can do this sort of even perhaps better then anyone else!.

God save the Queen:-)

Yes to them not having all their parents there. Her mum was very dignified.

I cry at anything these days.
I’m glad the weather was good - that usually lets us down.

YANBU

every time there was a shot of Harry looking a bit nervous I thought of him as a boy having to walk behind his mum's coffin I hope he and Meghan have a very happy life together. God knows Harry deserves it.

That little gap toothed pageboy's face! Utter magic. I absolutely loved it - far more than a lot of weddings I've actually attended. I cried too.

roseblossom, that's not selfish at all

I cried remembering that little boy walking behind his mother's coffin. I do hope they'll be happy.
