The wedding service began with African-American Bishop Michael Curry delivering a passionate sermon, bringing on his own unique style to royal ceremony, as he cited Martin Luther King Jr.: “We must discover the power of love, the power, the redemptive power of love. And when we discover that we will be able to make of this old world a new world.”

Curry’s enthusiastic speech about the power of love was followed by Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby’s address: as the couple exchanged vows to love and cherish one other “till death us do part” and exchanged rings, the Archbishop pronounced them husband and wife.

The ceremony incorporated the traditions of monarchy, but the bride seems to have brought some sense of modernity, as she did not promise to obey her husband. Instead, the pair vowed to love, comfort, honor, protect and be faithful to each other.
