veronikka said: Serious said: Before I met the man who i consider the love of my life I never thought weddings are emotional. I saw them as kinda embarrassing and one of the reasons I didn't want to marry my ex-bf was because of the ceremony . And because I didn't want to be the centre of attraction. That is so me! I could never have a big wedding Good gravy, me neither. If I ever get married I'm likely to just head to city hall to sign the paperwork, then just have the reception without the ceremony. Or skip the whole shebang and take a really awesome trip with my mate. [Edited 7/27/09 2:18am] "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |

Cinnie said: jone70 said: Yeah, I can't possibly think that dance is sweet when they chose a Chris Brown song for the entrance. Although that song is kind of old; maybe they got married before he beat Rhianna up. Regardless: churches, weddings, bad dancing -- I'm not really into any of that. Maybe it was before then. Any which way, I find this entrance "fun" but inappropriate, especially considering the other super-serious backdrop: held in a church. ;shrug; people take weddings too seriously. It's the marriage that counts. "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |

This wedding was in St Paul (neighboring city to Minneapolis) in June and since this hit last week it's been on the local news here. They interviewed the pastor at the church (lutheran, I think) and she was in on it and loved it. I think it's great that there are folks who have fun, sing and dance in church. It's so freaking joyful. If I were a religious type, I'd much prefer that to boring, dour and solemn. I don't see how it would be disrespectful in any way. I've always thought the solemn approach certain denominations favour to be disrespectful to God to begin with. Isn't worship supposed to be a celebration of the Almighty and creation? You should be up there singing and dancing IMO, no matter how (un)talented, not stifling yawns. "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |

Many cultures celebrate the wedding from the beginning of the day that includes the church service. The weddings in Greece by tradition consists of the bride and groom walking, drinking and dancing across the entire town/village eventually leading to the church with a band playing and guests dancing all around. It's a celebration of a union afterall... | |

minneapolisgenius said: KidaDynamite said: Not enough by the looks of of it. Yeah, but none of them are dancers though, and they actually did get all the real choreography in there. Which is more than I can say for some people who can't learn even 8 counts of something more simple (I used to teach dance). True. surviving on the thought of loving you, it's just like the water
I ain't felt this way in years... | |

chocolate1 said: I guess the bottom line is, if it's not your style, then don't do it.
Honestly, I probably wouldn't do it either. But I think that this couple is being unfairly judged by some for doing things "their way". - I went to the wedding of the high school dance teacher where she had choreographed the Father-Daughter dance like a Fred Astaire number with her Dad. - I also went to a wedding about 10 years ago where the wedding party came in to "Adore" and had choreographed steps- nothing as extreme as this, but they had "moves". - I've also sat thru long, boring, pretentious ceremonies. The point is, everyone has different ideas about what makes their wedding perfect. Some want "elegance", some want "fun", etc. At this point, A MAN would help mine!
