A well as being a most pleasantly memorable opportunity for celebrating the love of Megan Markle and Prince Harry, of the British Royal Household - which, of course, also has links with other former Royal dynasties in other countries in Europe.
The wedding of the now Duke and Duchess of Sussex, also provide an occasion for a certain Bishop Michael Curry, of the United States of America, to make himself much more widely known around the world.
As the wedding was really about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, in the first order, and, you could argue, and rightly so, about the British Royal dynasty and its interaction and evolution with 'ordinary people.
It should not be the case that any of the officiating dignitaries, one of whom was, of course, Bishop Curry, conduct themselves in a way which might draw the limelight onto themselves, and place the DDS in the shadows.
Even if it is the case that people no longer lose their lives for either disrespecting or appearing to disrespect their Royal host.
Yes, it is the case that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are rather low in the hierarchy of ascending the Royal throne. Which, in any case, no longer has more than a symbolic and figurehead role in the governance of British society.
But, just as how Bishop Curry, in my humble opinion, inappropriately digress from focusing on what was, preeminently, an occasion about the 'love' and union of two human souls.
So should I resist any urge to digress and stray onto other issues which might attract my interest. One thing at a time, and, all things in their time.
So, still focusing on matters pertaining to humans and Gods, I want to be honest and declare that I was deeply riled up by Bishop Curry's prolonged Sermon during the wedding.
I felt that he was straying too far from the pertinent subject of the occasion.
That he was intruding too much on the what I would call, other symbolic, but not relevant, for this occasion, prisms, through which we could see the wedding.
To be continued!
