A British couple have caused outrage on the Greek island of Rhodes with a wedding photo in which the couple perform a sex act in front of a Greek Orthodox monastery, leading the head of the islands Greek Orthodox Church to ban future foreign weddings.
The groom, Matthew Lunn, posted a photo of his new wife Carly on Facebook as she knelt in her white dress, appearing to perform oral sex on her new husband.
No one expected the international reaction as the photo soon went viral and eventually reached local news media on Rhodes and Metropolitan Kyrillos, the head of the islands Greek Orthodox Church.
Kyrillos announced a decision to ban all foreign weddings at the monastery of St Paul, a popular venue for British tourists where hundreds of dream weddings take place every year.
Giorgos Eleftheriou, president of the local Lindos community in Rhodes, told The Times of London We are Greek and we cherish our traditions and the sanctity of our religious sites. We cannot allow this disgusting behavior to prevail.
Eleftheriou added that the ban by the Greek Orthodox Metropolitan leaves hundreds of British couples scrambling to change their wedding plans.
I have hundreds of soon-to-be brides from Britain and all over the world calling me today in tears because of this decision, he said.
I think Dillbo spent far more time trying to wiggle into tight spots than out of them.
More details in this one.
I'd have to agree after recently seeing this video on Liveleak.

good Priest
God made sex for marriage to be enjoyed in private and not publicly profaned and used as a rebellious symbol against His church. No fear or respect for The Holy Amighty is a foolish and stupid way to live.
Never on Sunday!
“...robes of (self)-righteousness in pew after pew...”
Traditionally Orthodox churches don’t have pews, though in the US I’ve seen exceptions.
“Pigs,” was my first reaction.
But self-respecting swine don’t do this.
I do not understand what is going on in some people’s minds.
Whatever. I don’t want it embedded in *my* mind.
Oddly delphic statement. If *who’s* gonna act that way?
Obviously, you are right: there are many people who appear to be living godly lives, but have evil hearts or are doing good things for bad reasons. God will handle them. There is nothing I have said that contradicts what you also assert. These two debauched losers have contaminated the world with their bad behavior. I didn’t seek this article out. The headline and photo flashed before my eyes, and, believe me, I wish they hadn’t. Our culture is in the sewer and I’ve had it.
I don’t think the mode of seating alters the phenomenon a bit.
The rot is flooding the land like a tsunami. And the lobotomized slugs on the left are cheering as the tsunami engulfs everything in its path.
What utterly suicidally clueless such idiots are.
May God have mercy on all of good heart toward Him.
Correction: King David and you are ...
I suspect these two reprobates will take the realities of marriage about as seriously as they did this house of worship. Divorced inside of 3 years is my prediction.
Because Greeks are renown for decorum and keeping sex lives behind closed doors? Ahem.
“Part of that is relatively few, mostly wealthy and well educated Americans travel much.”

“...other couples are copying the photo”
Mother of God! Is this true?!
A well-traveled friend of mine said she asked hotel employees in a posh hotel in Dubai, people who had dealt with people from all over the world, who are (generally) the most difficult types of hotel guests they deal with. The hotel employees responded quickly and emphatically: “Russians.”
The bride’s poor grandfather, at least, had the sense to say the photo was “disgusting”. Feel sorry that the old man has lived long enough to see a culture rot and his own granddaughter be both a victim and cause of the rot.
