Seeing the royals smirk at the African American minister is something I could have lived without. I lost some respect for Kate. And the cousin who is married to the rugby player. Oh well, these are not very worldly people for all their privilege.

Is that the one who wore the slave pendant when she met Meghan for the first time? The blonde lady? Rude.

I agree that there were a few faces shown that clearly didn't get it. I loved the blending of their lives and history; that she put Forget-me-nots in her bouquet as a nod to Diana; that there was a gospel choir and her reverend there; that they had a beautiful 19 year old cellist play while they signed the registry...and so on and so forth...Harry's face when he saw Meghan come down the aisle; that she walked part way by herself, part accompanied by Charles and then again a few steps by herself. It had meaning to her. Maybe not the meaning I have but clearly it was meaningful and not for the sake of tradition. I absolutely loved her dress and the tiara she borrowed from the Queen too. Very stylish and very classy.

I haven't paid much attention to the hoopla surrounding the wedding thus far but I did watch some of it and liked a lot of their personal touches. The monarchy is changing and it's a good thing, I think.

Right now, I'm watching Lucky Dog while posting.
