[Magdalen] Wedding?

[Sally Davies]

Loved his preaching. He was sensitive, impassioned, relevant, Scriptural and if his challenging words afflicted a few of the comfortable - well that’s good. Probably what the bride and groom wanted him to do!!

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).
