It did not take place in a Catholic Church, nor would it be appropriate. 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.

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. Please, give it a rest. Joy can be found in any number of ways other than dance. This wouldn't fly because it's really more suited for the reception (and really should be encouraged as so many receptions are dreadfully dead). There, it would be no problem as would the bridesmaids dresses with exposed shoulders. Silly us, we expect people to dress with respect for God. I actually liked the shades.
The first time, it was sort of funny, but you have to wonder....

There's plenty of holy joy at the Mass. It's just a different kind than boogying down the aisle.
Go quietly sometime and see for yourself. Better yet, go to Adoration and spend an hour with Our Lord.

when my aunt & uncle saw that we were using “The Lord of the Dance” for our processional, they thought I’d be tap-dancing down the aisle... It was the HYMN not the dance!
This was fun - I hope I don’t have any surprises at my daughter’s wedding in 5 weeks! That’ll BE in a Catholic church!

Wow. I’m Catholic and I’ve seen lots of unbridled joy at Catholic weddings, baptisms, and Confirmations. We might not have danced like that, but it’s there.
I cried watching the video because it was so joyful and sweet. However, when Catholics get married, we prefer to concentrate on the dignity of that vocation, the seriousness of the sacrament of Matrimony, and the presence of God at the union. Add in the fact that Catholic marriages are supposed to last until death parts you, and you can see why most Catholics look pretty serious at their weddings!

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. During my training to become a Lutheran I had a test. One question was name the two types of sin.
My answer, "Original and extra crispy."
Thank God the pastor had a sense of humor.

Which is clearly in evidence by all the hooting, hollering, and beer drinking that goes on during bingo night in the basements of Catholic churches.
Take your childhood memories of knuckle slapping nuns, or whatever it that makes you such a bitter pathetic soul, somewhere else.

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.
