Ha. Headstands don't cause wars... heck if Sam Houston and Santa Anna would have had a dance off they... they... Meh, I have nothing. Not really their personal affair when it's held INSIDE a church. It's a church. It's a place of worship. So if the pastor, minister, or people of the church arranging this wedding ceremony didn't say anything... then they're also wrong to allow this to happen INSIDE the church. When ceremonies like weddings and the like are to be taking place in churches, they're to be held seriously, without "dancing in the aisle" or doing a "headstand"... what is it, a street or a playground? If they wanted to enter their wedding ceremony dancing and acting a fool, they could have done that at some chapel outside a church, not there. Again, are you all just ignoring it or want to answer: would any of you do this in a mosque or temple?
That was awesome.

And, I'm sure everyone who worked that wedding, including the preacher, probably really appreciated the break from the hum-drum white weddings they usually have to do. My wife used to do wedding cakes and we would sometimes serve at the weddings, so we've seen quite a few. The brides would bore us to tears. In first weddings, they all want to have the perfect wedding they've imagined since they were little girls. Everybody was o so serious and respectable. And, most important to us, the cakes were all white (yawn). The second-time brides were much better. They'd already had their white weddings, and wanted to do something fun. So, they'd do zany stuff in the ceremony and they'd let my wife do some zany stuff on their cake. I wished we had more of those kinds of customers.
LOL! My guess is that he read it as: "props for having two gays in the wedding with beards. And BOTH of them could dance."
^^ You really think you would have permission at a mosque or temple? I mean, at a mosque or temple?!?!? Even more disrespectful. Nice to leave the Cross in the back. Mr. JuanValdez, sir, were all those zany and extravagant ceremonies held inside a church, or outside in an open-air atmosphere?
Or, they (the pastor/minister/whatever) can choose to practice their religion however they see fit, and if they deem it ok for someoen's personal affair (yes, it is personal when it's all your friends and family in the church and no one else) If you choose to only be quiet and traditional in your church, that is perfect. And no one would disrespect that if it was your event (or if it was the minister/pastor's daily event). But if someone has their own event and gets permission from those in charge...how about they choose how to handle it? Yes, I would have no problems doing it in a mosque or a temple if I got permission from the priests/whoever is in charge, and if they were there while it was going on and actually conducting the ceremony that followed.
Sure, I can see certain ones being more open to being less traditional and strict. Especially if it's a place you've gone to for a while and you have a relationship with the priest/whoever
Incorrect - The keyword here is beard - example: Jeff Garcia attended the Espy's with his beard, Carmella DeCesare.
That sounds reasonable, kaleidosky (post 90). I understand what you're saying and I respect it. I never said I would go there and throw a darn fit over this, make a scene, or something like that, either. Would I do it? No. Would I ask someone to do it? No. Do I approve of it? No. Why? I think it disrespects whatever church that is, and also because these ceremonies are being taken more lightly. That is all. And, no, I do not think the other religions' people would give their temple people permission to do this sort of thing in their place.
I knew that. It was to consider a comparison between tolerance levels in different religions, and how it would be seen by other religions if this were to happen in their place of worship only. I still said, and my original point with bringing that up, is that I think they would NOT allow this sort of stuff (I am not saying "disrespect" anymore, since many of you do not believe it's the case, so I will drop that part of it).
Because he's pointing out the slippery slope of modern Christianity (compared to other religions) ...the fact that our generation of Christian's believe religion is a "do it however you like" type thing, rather than showing deep respect for the traditions and sacred places of worship as we probably should.
Understood. Never thought you would be a protester or anything...just trying to present the other side. I agree that it'd be hard to find temples and mosques that would allow it. but i think you could find it if that's what you wanted
i thought it was funny. never would've happened at my wedding and probably more appropriate for the reception, but that made it funnier. my priest had all sorts of rules, we went over the rehearsal 3-4 times (my wedding party was bored!) so there is nooooo way that would've flied.
They have actually held Purim parties, as well as Bar Mitzvah dances, in my synagogue. Again, like many have said, if those in charge do not have a problem with it then I see absolutely nothing wrong. At least these kids look like a happy couple. I would much prefer this than an average couple getting married under God in a church, saying their vows under God in a church, then getting divorced within a year.
i feel gay for having watched that, but you know what? it was pretty cool. you gotta give it up for people who want to mix it up when it comes to this whole traditional wedding thing. i hope i never have to go through all that traditional wedding stuff.
