the context.

I"m having a lot of fun picturing how Harry and Meghan might have possibility incorporated jumping the broom, or even some sort of highly disguised version of that, in the ceremony.

In a somewhat related aspect of all of this, I was watching some of the wedding and watching Meghan's mom shedding tears. All I can think is, How emotional to watch your daughter being married, to anyone, let alone a member of the British royal family. Weddings are amazing, aren't they?

to see the co-mingling of human beings of all shapes, sizes and colours. Made a huge statement to the world and I suspect that statement had to be made because of the comments directed toward the royal couple precisely because of their interracial marriage.

No, I won't dirty my mind with comments from wypipo. I'm just guessing there were a lot of unkind postings on social media and in society's(American and English) in general.
