"The church ceremony is about joining two people in marriage under God as he instructed."

I agree. This was tacky as heck, IMO. But then, I'm an old fashioned kinda girl who believes that church is a place of respect, reverence and propriety.

In reference to your observation, there are many people now who get married in church who have nothing to do with God at any other time in their life. They get married in a church because it's what's "expected" not because they agree with the biblical concept. These people are obviously attention whores and simply wanted a cool video to make them famous on YouTube, in my opinion. Now, if they had done this at the reception as another poster mentioned that would have been funny and appropriate.

I don't believe that's "old fashioned" at all. When I go in to any place of worship, be it Christian, Buddhist, whatever, I am always respectful, and would never think of doing anything like this.

I have no fear of being "smited" (bc I don't believe God is a vengeful God); I merely believe that is the appropriate way to act.
