June 26, 201214 yr Author I'm sure she has a good story and reason for this but it's not my cup of tea. I'd say the same if the groom sang. I also don't want to see the bridal party dancing down the aisle. I'm a traditionalist when it comes to weddings, I guess.
June 26, 201214 yr Author Maybe you should have read the story before making such a cold hearted comment. Carr told "Inside Edition" last week that she knew she'd be walking down the aisle solo after her father died during her teenage years. "I wanted [Devin] to know how much I loved him, and how perfect he is to me. I thought the best way to do that would be to sing to him as I walked down the aisle," Carr said. I actually retracted that because I wondered if there was a dad. Sadly, many brides do not have their real dad at their wedding. However, they don't then stage a concert. It doesn't change my viewpoint but I shouldn't have posted it without knowing the story.

Not my style, but I think it's kinda cool.

That's all fine and dandy, but to say she was narcissistic for doing it is simply you judging somebody without knowing the person, or the circumstances at all. A little surprising coming from you.
June 26, 201214 yr I give it 2 years. That was all about her, not her love for him. How many cameras and camera angles can we get on her singing this? Great voice, using her wedding as a platform to launch a career?
June 26, 201214 yr Author That's all fine and dandy, but to say she was narcissistic for doing it is simply you judging somebody without knowing the person, or the circumstances at all. A little surprising coming from you. There's no question she's narcissistic. That's a given. She obviously can sing so it's not like she was going out on a limb to pay tribute to her dad and husband and grandma. She had a captured audience and took advantage of it. I'll ignore the "judging somebody without knowing the person" comment. We all do that every day.
June 26, 201214 yr Sad. I wasn't quick enough on the draw. Was quoting your "dad" comment only to see you edited it. I wish there was a delete option after that.

I take it that you believe that those who sing solos in church are narcissistic. I also take it that you believe that you, and your bride were narcissistic if you had a church wedding.
June 26, 201214 yr I thought that tradition was that the wedding was all about the bride anyway. The honeymoon,,,,,,not so much.
June 26, 201214 yr Author How's it a given? I take it that you believe that those who sing solos in church are narcissistic. I also take it that you believe that you, and your bride were narcissistic if you had a church wedding. Singing a solo in church during mass (or service) is completely different. That's where you are serving the people. THIS is not THAT. Lastly, poor example. My faith says that the Church is where you get married. I don't consider that to be narcissism.
June 26, 201214 yr I would have been uncomfortable just being in the audience. The desire to laugh would have been too much.

My faith says that the Church is where you get married. I don't consider that to be narcissism. Singing a solo in church is serving the people? Funny, I thought it was serving God. The Catholic faith says you have to get married in a church? What verse in the Bible do you use for that? You still didn't tell me why it's a given that she narcissistic.
June 26, 201214 yr You've oversimplified it. You've left out the grand entrance. You've left out her staging a concert. A wedding is about two people becoming one. She 100% made this about her ergo narcissism. Bingo. Big difference between this and singing to your soon-to-be-spouse. I was at a wedding many years ago, where the groom, a REALLY quiet and shy guy, sang a George Strait song to his bride...not a dry eye in the house. That was cool. THIS was not.
