[Magdalen] Wedding?

[cantor03 at aol.com]

I watched it via NBC.  I didn't intend that but the gang was mostly
from MSNBC there, and they did a good job.  The music
wasn't my cup of tea, but it wasn't my royal wedding (!).
 
I have a question about a Nuptial Eucharist.  I vaguely recall at
the time of the wedding of Charles and Di that the custom was
to have the marriage couple go off somewhere private for a
Nuptial Communion.  Is that still the custom, and did Harry and
Megan get a marriage communion before or after the televised
liturgy?
 
This is similar, I have heard, to the Coronation Liturgy in which
an abbreviated private Communion is fitted in for the Monarch
alone.  As I understand it, the Coronation is really a Eucharist
which has insertions for crowning the King/Queen.
 
I think that TEC may be a little more high church in general than
the CofE in that a percentage of weddings do feature the Eucharist.
Certainly mine did, as did those of my two children.  The latter two
were Pontifical Solemn High Nuptial Masses.  There was never any
discussion about a simple liturgy without Eucharist.  My impressions
in this matter may be skewed by my exposure to TEC Anglocatholic
dioceses.

I was very pleased that the service itself was precisely that which any 
couple getting married in the CofE - whether the smallest village church 
or a big place like Windsor Chapel. Even the hymns were such that would 
be sung in ordinary parish churches. Of course there were trimmings like 
the  choirs and orchestra, but otherwise it was normal. The sermon was, 
I found, a fine one - and a sermon is officially part of any wedding 
service (although I confess to not usually preaching at weddings as I 
have never been convinced that people would listen).
