I agree....it was beautiful! I’m Catholic and was surprised at how much the service paralleled a Catholic wedding, including mentioning Catherine of Siena and other early saints.
Kate seems to be the antithesis of Diana....very composed, calm, and rational. I doubt we’ll be hearing of any scandals associated with them in the future. Of course, she’s 29, so hopefully she knows who she is by now.
And isn’t her sister absolutely gorgeous?

It was a magnificent service and it was wonderful to see the sacrament of marriage reverently elevated to it’s proper place. It was a refreshing display of grace, class and dignity that this world sorely needed.
It was a very Christian service which affirmed the symbolism of Christ’s love of the church and that marriage is a sacrament, a divine gift of grace from God, not a right!
Yeesh...Of course kate was ‘calmer’ than Diana...she was 10 years older and had shacked up with William for 8 years!
THAT is the difference.
this whole charade reminds me of the Ted Kennedy funeral...Catholic church even though he was soooo pro abortion ..conservatives got upset about that charade, but not this one.
Its one thing to shack up ( or as in William’s case to screw around as well)before you get married and flaunt that publically as “Hey, no problem, its the new generation, free love, free sex”, then decide to have this huge wedding religious charade...
Yeah, Catherine of Sienna and the other Saints must be real proud...

I dated an Episcopalian, and he referred to himself as a “J.V. Catholic”. Not sure what that means, but assume there’s little difference.
When I went to the UK for the first time in 2000, I went by mistake to a High Church Anglican church for mass for 4 Sundays. It was only when I noticed at the start of their prayers for the bishop etc., they didn’t pray for the Pope, that was when the penny dropped :-P
