I'm guessing it wasn't a Baptist wedding!  I had sent the 1st dance last year to my niece as a joke and they they actually practiced and did that dance, it was hilarious.

You would never pull that off at my church and for good reason, pretty tasteless to come into church like that, IMO.

I love it! All of them. Weddings have become so cookie cutter and if you can find a way to make it your own and give your guests a good laugh, DANCE ON!

Gotta agree with you there. I geuss I'm too old school & buried down too far down in the Bible belt for that to pass muster. I thought it was original & cute , just out of place in a place of worship.

those video's were awsome! Simtal both were at wedding dances up here some of those get pretty rowdy! These were not out of the context of fun pure fun. And they did strike a blow for us big fella's!!!! both looked totally appropriate for the occasion.I had dejavu thinking back to my own wedding..
        We set the date got the wedding planned all set up and a day before the wedding the banf backed out due to some unchristian like band behavior (see how I cleaned it up!!) I called every band known to man with no luck.called all my friends connections simple instructions find us musicans!! well we got a call from a friend who had stopped in a night spot and two guys were playng guiter for tips. LIned them up and the dance went on. we had young and old dance to crosby/stills/nash/young dylan and they knew 2 Johhnie Cash tunes!!! forget what you hear you can polka to Dylan if they play it for you!!We had fun guests had fun band haad fun ah to be young again!!
    P.S. I loved that forever tune!!

forget the first part of that last post -so sorry I watched yesterday and posted today.If I can't remember back that far I am in trouble! Simtal you are right in not every church would go for that 2nd dance. I come from a small town church that 10 years ago would not have been to keen on it but times have changed.We have celebration churches growing by leaps and bounds proof people want to have fun.our church is more traditional in its services than most/like alot of small churches are but for children's time I put Black Eyed Peas through the sound system loud and the high schools would dance on down to stage.Little guys of course follow right behind times change so must we enjoy what has been provided.And remember God must have a sense of humor!!

I know he does. Look at all the crazy stuff that goes on in this World every day. I've been married 14 1/2 years and people still talk about our wedding reception tell this day. We had a lot of fun just dancing and partying.

I kinda think that most of the tradition in most churches is simply that... tradition... simple, old, man made tradition with little to do with God. I grew up in a straight laced church, with lots of tradition. We had fun, but there was lots to taboo things we could not do while at church.My mom grew up in the same church and she used to tell us about being the pastor scolding her after church for wearing lipstick in church, as well as nylon stockings ( I can hardly believe that!!) It was not that strict in my early days, but you were expected to dress appropriately for church, and we always wore our best clothes.Smoking, drinking and even dancing were taboo.(Those who know me, probably do not know much about this part of my life, as I became a really black sheep )  The church was static, and church growth was something you just heard about, but never really saw.
The change started about 15 years ago, and slowly it moved to a more relaxed place. The pastors seldom wear a suit other than funerals or weddings. Dress is casual, and church growth is amazing. This church went from 1 pastor to 6 pastors in the last 15 or so years. The music changed and now there is a full band with some world class musicians.There is a drama team that has some exceptional actors.  Soon after some of the changes were made, this church went to two services on Sunday.Next came a major church expansion that added more than 4 times as many seats. Now if you don't get there on time, you have to really look to find a place to sit.Church attendance is probably in the 600-700 each week, and this is a town of 10,000 with at least 15 other churches.  The only thing that did not change was the message. It remained the same.Church has an element of fun to it, and it is not just a ritual.  The way the message was presented was changed. I do not get there as often as I should, especially in calving season and when the fall shows and sales are on, and when I do go now, I doubt if I know the names of at least 1/2  the people attending.

If the wedding entrance shown in this video had happened in this church 15 years ago, I think the people would have tossed this wedding party out the door and doomed them to the hottest part of Hell. Now, I think this wedding entrance would be well accepted and it would be the talk of the town. Even though I was raised in a straight laced, strict church, I was not appalled by this video. I thought it was great. If they had continued to act in wild and crazy ways, once the actual ceremony started, that may have been a little over the top, and uncalled for.  Weddings are supposed to be celebrations of the joining of two lives. Yes there is a serious component to them, but there should be lot of places for fun and celebration.
