Geez, that’s twice now.

The dresses aren’t strapless...and ‘simulated sex moves?’ are you sure you got the link to the correct video? LOL...I have watched now about half a dozen times...and I don’t see it.

Yeah, I was wrong about the dresses being strapless. I misread one of the comments. But some of the moves are definitely too sexual for Church, @ 1:00 for example.

When I attend a wedding I’m struck by how out of
character everyone is. Tuxes are out of decade
(century), the dresses make the bridal party look
uncomfortable, while the ceremony and the flowers
seem to be the only elements that are genuine. What
is refreshing is they are being themselves (not in
an “Animal House” way), but in a way that I believe
pleases God. Watching this video gave me joy and
made me cryle (smiling with tears).

All I can tell you is that 32 years ago we decided not to have morning dress because we thought it looked stiff and out of date . . . so we wound up with the boys in PEACH TUXEDOS with contrasting ruffles, platform shoes, and enormous contrasting bouttonieres, which all things considered looks far worse three decades later than morning dress (which never changes). My kids laugh themselves silly at our wedding album, and we look at each other and kind of smile sheepishly. At least I wore my mom's wedding dress, and IT looked just fine!

Americans are not very formal people and many have completely forgotten how to dress (look how everybody's always grousing about people showing up at Mass in sweat suits or shorts). If you never even put on a suit in your ordinary life, of COURSE you're going to look stiff in a tux, and ladies whose regular dress is a jeans skirt and Tshirt are going to be uncomfortable in a formal gown.

It may just mean that folks need to get used to dressing up a little bit so that getting married won't be such a shock to their systems.

On the other hand, I agree that most bridesmaid's dresses (AND mother-of-the-bride dresses) are absolutely AWFUL and something should be done about THAT.

[AnAmericanMother]

Sure! :-D

Yea, a Catholic Church is the last place on the planet one would encounter an example of pure unbridled joy. Now if you're looking for guilt, and an extra helping of that ridiculous concept 'original sin', a Catholic Church is the perfect place to go.

I just spit Diet Dr. Pepper all over my monitor and some went up my nose!

You mean if marriage and the worship of God is sacred and a blessing from God uniting two people?! That was nothing more than a reflection of the adoration of something hollywood would do in a stupid movie. Or maybe a jackass stunt. My daughters wedding was beautiful and a sacred event but we truly had a kick-butt reception! Which is where that little stunt should have been.

[red irish]

Are you always a disrespectful jackass when it comes to the Catholic church or is it just a way to get attention since this video didn’t have anything to do with the Catholic church. Grow up!
