Yeah natch, it’s definitely Meghan and Harry’s Big Day.
However, the happy couple is not all that’s garnering attention this afternoon… because Reverend Michael Curry absolutely stole the show.
Fair play to him; we’re already HUGE fans.
Quite funny reactions to American Bishop Michael Curry preaching. I don't think the majority of the people in the church have ever heard the gospel preached before.. Mouths open. #RoyalWedding

Yes, in his sermon, the Reverend talked a lot about love. “Love is the way,” he said – later adding: “We gotta get y’all married.”
It was all so delightfully NOT what we were expecting from a British royal wedding. And seemingly, it wasn’t what the British royals and glitterati themselves were expecting either.

Everyone from Kate to Camilla, to Eugenie and Beatrice, and even to The Queen herself was lol’ing during the Bishop’s delivery – so much so that we reckon Wills is going to have to reference it in his forthcoming best man’s speech at the reception.
Watching the royals watch American Bishop Michael Curry has become an unexpected highlight of this #RoyalWedding. This man is fantastic. pic.twitter.com/U8w3vWOyoV

I vowed not to tweet about the #RoyalWedding but I am LOVING how un-British and how un-UK-royal the sermon is right now and how the very very white and constrained royal family members are struggling to handle it. Bishop Michael Curry is an absolute legend. ✨❤️✨

I’m not going to lie, Rev Michael Curry’s enthusiastic address has had the press room in stitches (not to mention the congregation). Someone please send me a screen shot of Zara Phillips’ face….#royalwedding

If Pippa was the unexpected star of Kate’s wedding, Michael Curry is the star of this one. Wonderful, wonderful sermon.
