IMO, I thought it was disrespectful. All churches, regardless of denomination, are places of worship- they are not clubs. Even if this was a fun loving, enthusiastic couple- they should still have respect for other parishioners & the important role that the church plays in their lives.



I agree. Also, I am not realy a fan of spectacles , even at receptions, but hey , it's their party.
The church is too much. Even if the clergy was ok with it, any dancing should be done on the way out, not the way in. You don't really have anything to celebrate yet.

I wonder what kind of church that was. The minisiter wasn't wearing any vestments.



Unless there was something inappropriate in the song, I don't think this was disrespectful at all. I truly believe God wants us to have to FUN in this lifetime. There was a lot of love and a lot of positive energy there and nothing about that is direspectful. You don't have to be quiet and stuffy to be respectful. Churches would be fuller if more people realized that.

Would I have done this for my church wedding? No, never. The tone of my wedding was totally different and this just is NOT our style at all. But I got a big laugh and a big smile out of this.

I love seeing people having fun and being silly -- and if that's what they wanted to do on their wedding day, so be it.

you're not the only one. honestly, i watched it and thought it looked stupid. brides today will always look for a way to be "different" but this just seemed dumb to me.

i guess as long as they're happy...whatever. but not my cup of tea at all.




I agree. I dont feel I "missed the boat" at all. I thought it was tacky, inappropriate for a place of worship and attention seeking.

I'm not a tight@ss in any way at all...especially when it comes to religion but I thought it was stupid and totally inappropriate. IMO the bride looked like a fool dancing down the isle to that.

I just showed this to my dh and he said...if you're going to disrespect the church you should have some good dance moves...whip out some Chris Brown s**t. Chat Icon

The couple is on The Today Show right now.

ETS: I know a few people were wondering why she walked (danced) down the aisle alone. If her parents passed away. They didn't...they were at the wedding and both sides were "on board" with what they wanted to do.
If was actually the grooms dad who told him to put it on you tube. And I believe she said the person performing the cermony was her cousin.
The whole wedding party will be back on the show tomorrow.

I thought it was a little too much for church. Yes it was fun and celebratory but I think there are other ways to do that which do not include throwing papers on the floor, the cartwheels and that spectacle right in front of the alter.



I agree.

disrespectful, not at all. absolutely the stupidest thing i've ever seen? yes.

not all churches are serious, solemn places. if this church was okay with it, why do we care? it's not our church and not our business. dancing and singing goes on in many churches.

there was so much i didn't like about the wedding. the dancing was only the tip of it.

I got a kick out of watching it- but if I was a friend of theirs and was asked to be in that wedding, I don't know that I would have been able to do it. I am fairly reserved and I just would have been SO uncomfortable dancing like that in front of so many people. I really don't like being the center of attention.

I think its funny and I'm impressed at how willing their friends(bridal party) were to go along with it. To me it seems like a close-knit bunch of people that like to have fun & by the looks of the attire it seemed like a more casual event. I agree the bride's dance was lame, but I think its their day & if their church was good with it, who are we to say if its right or wrong?

I know! The first 4 that came down were decent & very into it, but one bridesmaid and the bride seemed uncomfortable & just waved their flowers around. And those two girls swinging each other around just seemed drunk.

immature and tacky.

IMO, it has nothing to do with where the ceremony was held. whether the location is a church, synagogue or outdoors it's just inappropriate. one of my FAVORITE parts of a wedding ceremony/mass is the processional. for me it's always SO moving and emotional. this processional was IMO in very poor taste.

I like the idea for a non church wedding, but it did seem a bit odd for a church. But I also thought that they did it to get the bride's mind of of something like loss of her father or something. If that was the case, I think it was great!

I think it was awesome!! What a FUN group of people. That's not a Catholic church either - I'd bet it's Episcopalian or another denomination.

I like that they're not somber, I like that some of them were awkward, they're definitely being true to their personalities and I feel like they're highlighting the most important part - the actual ceremony, rather than the reception.

That's not the point- the point was to show how happy and excited they all were to be part of this wedding and getting married! I think it was better because they were not good dancers. It was just so happy and loving, I had a huge smile on my face and you could tell everyone at the wedding really enjoyed the excitement this brought about. It was fantastic IMO!

Re: We all missed the boat. This is the best wedding procession ever.

My priest would kill me if my wedding party walked down the aisle like this (catholic). I thought it was over the top. That is appropriate for the reception - not for the ceremony. That music was not at all "religious" or appropriate for that setting.

I agree.

It wasn't about whether they looked professional or not.

Let's be honest, all wedding ceremonies are special but they are generic. This DEF stands out & guests will never forget the day this couple got married.

I totally agree with another poster who said that this directed more attention towards the most IMPORTANT part of a wedding - the ceremony.

Nowadays, all the focus of a wedding seems to be on the party.

I have gone to church ceremonies where the church is practically empty; only to get to the reception & see that they in fact have a pretty large reception happening.

Where were all these people to see them actually GET married?
