Speaking of how they felt about the online hate, Craig was quoted as saying by Metro, “It never really bothered us but I didn’t realize how much people on the internet think that their opinions matter. A lot of people kept saying stuff like “I’m sure everyone in the audience is so uncomfortable”, and “the ring bearer must be so embarrassed” but that couldn’t be further from the truth.”
He further said, “There were a lot of people who loved it, but most of that was a mixture of comments like ‘Grow up’, ‘Harry Potter adults are worse than Disney adults’ and ‘Why is the groom wearing a backwards hat?’”
However, the couple hit it off immediately after they realized that both had matching Harry Potter tattoos when they first met.
