I thought the video was great and I'm trying to think of something similar to do at my wedding next summer. It probably wouldn't be down the aisle like they did it but I just want to do something memorable.

 

There is a video out there somewhere where a couple are having their first dance (slow dance) at their reception and suddenly break into all types of different dancing - salsa, rumba, breakdance, etc... It's really fun and very, very entertaining. The crowd went berserk. You should think about something like that.

Call me old school but I think I would have been ready to go if I was at this wedding. The wedding ceremony should have some class and decorum. Dancing to Chris Brown down the aisle to what should be a special moment screams of "look at me look at me."

 

Perfect for the reception. Classless and 1000% tacky for the wedding ceremony.

 

Come on, Clyde, you're no more old school than I. I thought it was cute. Would the reception have been a more appropriate place? Probably. But I just don't think this fell completely into the "classless" category. BTW, any wedding screams out "look at me, look at me" as the bridal party and groom/bride walk down the aisle. That's pretty much the purpose of the aisle walk, is it not? If the rest of the ceremony was conducted flippantly or in the same "loose" manner, then they went overboard. But for just this part of the ceremony, I'm pretty cool with it.

 

For the record, though, neither my son or daughter will be doing this at their wedding.

Were it at a different venue it wouldn't be an issue.

Exactly.

You can not question someones faith for this. Do you question a priest's or minister's faith when they talk about money or something other than God in their homily because a homily is supposed to be teaching the word of God, is that disrespectful to the Lord? Some people have a different kind of faith, and that is perfectly fine, just don't condem them for it.

I didn't question that they had faith, just their level, I don't condemn them for this either.

 

My point is this, the reception after the ceremony is the right place for this, or at someplace other than a church. It's flat out disrespectful behavior in a Christian church.

 

To answer your question, yes it's disrespectful to talk about money in church if it isn't in context to helping the poor or to keep the church running.

Why? If you have no problem with it and it's perfectly fine with you, why not your kids?

Exactly.

 

It shouldn't be an issue either way. The minister agreed to it and thought it would be a good time for the couple and it's something unique.

 

 

What I don't understand is why people care. It was just dancing on the Bride and Groom's day. It's not like it was some kind of erotic theme or anything with foul language.

 

I mean couldn't the same be said for Churches that hold events with kids and they dance and cause a small ruckus? It was simple dancing and no one was harmed, it's time to get over it and find something else to complain about.

Don't care really. This is a board for discussion, is it not? Just people voicing their opinion.

 

As I said, an outdoor wedding or something, fine, it doesn't belong in church IMO.

 

Why are you complaining about mine and some others opinion? :sssh: :idunno:

Just not for me and my family. We're a bit more conservative and traditional. But that doesn't make it wrong for someone else to do it. Different strokes for different folks (within reason) - it's what makes this world a fun and interesting place. What they did was cute. They were joyously celebrating. I just didn't quite see it as sacreligious.

I can't speak for RTS or Clyde, but as one who thought it was a tacky and inappropriate...

 

I'm not upset or angered by this- comments from others like, "some people can't be happy unless their complaining," aren't applicable to me, I'm just commenting on how it was tacky. I'm not proposing a law against this type of weddings or going to protest them. All I'm saying is that in my view, it was really tacky for what is supposed to be a sacred ceremony binding two people together for life. Furthermore, in a house of God, I thought it a bit inappropriate (I thought the same thing when at the LifeTeen Mass last week at CTK in Lexington where the teens were jumping around the Church wearing pizza boxes, for God knows what reason).

 

Of course this couple and their family are entitled to their own type of wedding and own celebrations, just I would never do it myself, and if I was in a church during that, I'd be tempted to walk out.

 

The great irony is that RTS and Clyde commented on its inappropriateness- and were met with multiple posts about how inappropriate their comments were. This is a discussion board....

And it was their wedding.

And it was their wedding.

 

....which is why I'm not emailing the couple or minister or commenting on their YouTube video.

I told my daughter, I was ready to break out my John Travolta when I get the pleasure of taking her down the aisle. In about 10-20 years.

Very well stated. :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

And it was in God's house.
