Yesterday it was Boston’s sports teams, today it’s Williams and Catherine’s (no more Kate) wedding. I wasn’t planning to watch, but when I woke up at 5:30 and remembered it was the wedding day, of course I turned on the TV. And I’m glad I did.
The show carried itself. No TV chatter. Just the visual--royal opulence, but really so tasteful and relaxing. Royal pomp and ceremony, exquisite music, the wedding vows, short homily, Romans 12: 1, 2, 9-18, more exquisite music. The common touch. The world’s trouble spots are still troublesome, but for a brief moment today, maybe, just maybe, people around the globe allowed themselves to smile and take a deep breath or two, before getting back to work at hand.
