Wedding Processional Pays Off

Glad it all ended up so well

It’s very neat that they are using the publicity for a good cause.

But I still don’t buy the ‘we never expected this response to our video’ line. Videos of dances at weddings/wedding parties on YouTube have been hugely popular (and even posted here on Neatorama previously). They had to have known that there was a good chance it would become a internet video hit

Hi people. Still in Mexico. Water feels like a bath after the rain, but it hasn’t rained in weeks and I’m going batsh*t crazy. Still beautiful, though.

So: are we not talking about the fact that they were dismayed their performance was giving much money to Chris Brown, beater, and that they chose a domestic violence organization in order to reroute the money/popularity from a symbol of pathos to a gesture for change? I don’t understand why that was left out.

Interesting, I haven’t really thought about that quote and how ironic it is, their choice of charity and that the song they used was by Chris Brown.

Happy to hear!

I’m from Minnesota and for those who don’t know, Sheila Wellstone was the wife of US Senator Paul Wellstone. Both them and their daughter were killed in a plane crash in 2002, just weeks before his third election. No matter what your politics, they were both incredibly compassionate advocates for human rights and I can think of no better charity to give to.

dancing chickens what a term

The only draw back is that it helped promote Chris’ songs which I don’t think he deserves.

I did miss that, Miss C. But I just thought that point was the central one of this story, and it seemed basically unaddressed by the post. Context might have been helpful for those not already aware of “the circumstances surrounding the song.”

I know ,I’m old…but here goes. Do anything you want at the reception, but the wedding is another thing. Y’all better listen REAL CLOSE to what’s going on. I just felt it was all a big show and they knew it was gonna get on U-tube, TV, whatever. 15 minutes of fame, that kind of crap. So…good luck to the happy couple. But, from now on save the partying for the reception. I know, I’m old!

Not hatred here, Johnny Cat.

It’s not about age. It’s about respect for the “venue” in which they were “performing”. You can have fun and make a lot of people laugh, but is it appropriate?

They were acting precocious, like a kindergarten recital. Nobody expects anything decent, they all clap and film it because “aww, isn’t that darling?”, but everyone knows they suck.

I don’t care about the tradition of the white dress and the procession; do what you like at your wedding. But a church should be more than just a rented hall for the occasion. Do your little dance at City Hall, or on the beach, or at the Comic Book convention, wherever you decide to get married.

That’s not hatred to say that.

Yes, ted, it’s appropriate for a couple to do whatever they choose on their wedding day. They obviously cleared it with the church first.

Ted, they had enough respect for the church to clear it with them ahead of time; what more do you want? Is joy forbidden in church?

Hahahaha. Oh Ted. Crucifixion? When did that ever come up? Just with your question you’ve answered that joy is allowed only outside of church and crucifixion is allowed inside of church. Why is that? Why would you ever crucify people in church?
