The wedding video everyone is talkling about...

If you're whining about this video then you need to get over yourself.

They are allowed to celebrate their wedding and their marriage however they see fit. Clearly the church, the minister, their friends, their family, and all involved approved of the plan and enjoyed it with them. If you're seriously upset in any way whatsoever about this, no matter how little you're upset, you're being a self-righteous blowhard.
 
I don't see a problem with doing this in a place of religious worship. Most people that attend these places certainly don't have a problem with inflicting religious belief in places where others believe it to be inappropriate.
 
I thought it was great... and I'm a baptist

The church my wife and I got married in would definitely not allow this, though.

What denomination of church was that?

i bet they're really regretting doing this now... 8.5 million hits on youtube, appearance and i'm sure a free trip for all involved to the today show/nyc. no doubt more phone calls and interviews than they can handle. someone will throw them a ton of money to document it.

hell, chris brown should send them a fat check for royalties. that song is over a year old and i heard it was #7 on itunes this week.

whoever is hating, why do you care? so it's not traditional. big deal. my parents eloped at the jp... i didn't have a traditional wedding. and destination weddings sure aren't traditional. this is definitely a wedding everyone that was participating (wedding party or just a guest) will remember forever (no pun)
 
I'd be interested to know how many of the 8.5 million views are from people who live in cultures where that sort of thing is forbidden and they would be literally beaten down for simply dancing at all? And I'd be willing to bet those same people watched the video and smiled and laughed like most everyone else did. I think we need to put things in perspective here, folks.
 
what is this, footloose?
nothing wrong with dancing and singing and celebrating their love. they chose to be married in a church so who knows if it's not an expression of love for god (i'm not saying it is)?
count me as another christian who liked it.
 
Another couple putting more thought into the wedding than the marriage, divorced within 3 years.

Just kidding.
 
Why do people think this is innappropriate in a church? I saw nothing obscene, nor anything that could be deemed sinful in this video. Some christian worship services look like this these days.
 
Over forty, conservative church-goer here:

I loved the video! Marriage is supposed to be a reflection of our eternal relationship with God, which I sincerely hope is marked by indescribable joy. That wedding processional oozed joy... a wedding party who danced and laughed and celebrated a special moment...and they did it in the Lord's house. The Bible is filled with examples of men and women dancing with joy before God.

For everything there is a season... a time to laugh...and a time to dance.
 
Sorry, guys. I didn't mean to hijack the thread or demean your beliefs on marriage. I'm sure the bond means different things to different people.

To clarify, the Bible teaches that marriage is an institution created by God. (I'm not going to quote scripture here). That's why most Christian marriage occur in churches, rather than a secular ceremony somewhere else. The Bible also teaches that the Church (the body of believers) is the "Bride of Christ." A hard concept for many to digest, but I believe it relates to the covenantial relationship between Man and God, through the redemptive blood of Christ. Marriage between men and women is likewise a covenantial relationship requiring self-sacrifice and union.

Of course, atheists and those of other religious beliefs can have very fulfilling marriages. I wasn't suggesting otherwise. But, from the video, this marriage appears to have been conducted in a church, leading me to believe the couple (or one of them) is Christian. For Christians who chose the believe what the Bible says about marriage, the institution is God-ordained and a foreshadowing of our eternal convenantial relationship with God.
 
I noticed that the bride offered her arm to the groom at the end and he took it, in a kind of role reversal. Talk about non-traditional.

Best of luck you nutty kids

I agree with your general frustration with the shift of our culture away from formality, but in this specific instance, I find it ok.

If they did something disrespectful at a holy juncture, that would bother me.

I don't consider the going down the aisle as particularly holy, and I don't find dancing to be disrespectful, so this isn't a problem to me.

Now, don't get me started on what kids wear to church these days! Girls dress like whores (mild exaggeration) and dudes dress like slobs.
 
If I told my friends they were expected to dance down the aisle like that, I think they would back out of the wedding party. pretty much what I would do, if I was asked to do the same.

I think the video is entertaining but I wouldn't want to do it. But good for them to do what they want on their wedding day. I would guess that many couples bow to the pressure of the church and family on exactly how the wedding and reception should proceed.
