People were loving it!
Well, that was quite something, wasn't it? You can't have been expecting that. Bishop Michael Curry got up and absolutely smashed it at the royal wedding, delivering a sermon on love and... fire.
He opened his speech with the words of Civil Rights leader Martin Luther King Jr, who said: "We must discover the power of love, the redemptive power of love. And when we do that, we will be able to make of this old world a new world. Love is the only way."
The bishop then added: "There's power in love. Don't underestimate it. Don't even over-sentimentalise. There is power, power in love."
He then launched into a sermon for the ages and here's what people had to say about it afterward:

If you're wondering who exactly he is, Bishop Michael Curry became the first black presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church - the equivalent of the Church of England - in 2015.
On Twitter, the Archbishop of Canterbury described him as “a brilliant pastor, a stunning preacher and someone with a great gift for sharing the good news of Jesus Christ.”
The Archbishop's not wrong there.
