This unbelievably corny video of a wedding party dancing down the aisle has garnered over 6 million views on YouTube. I can’t believe a priest agreed to participate in this foolishness. Is nothing sacred anymore?
Thanks to loyal reader LaShawn for the link!

ONCE AGAIN , U ARE LAST TO POST SANDRA. C’MON… WHAT ELSE HAPPENED OVER THE WEEKEND?
im sick of see this already….. its not that serious
Sponge - agree!
There were more ppl in the wedding party than in the audience. How come all the men were over weight?
I thought it was cute but I am a dancer so I am biased..lol
i thought it was cute. its THEIR wedding, they can do what they want.
It was cute, minus the fact that they could not dance. That is what made it fun. People have to get creative I can’t tell you how many boring weddings I’ve been to.
Corny? yes, but you have to admit, that was sweet.
I can’t believe a priest agreed to participate in this foolishness. Is nothing sacred anymore?
^
sandra thats the same thing I was thinking…in a church…okay..let me know which one cuz they just danced all kinds of spirits up in that jank… sad
R.I.P. Vernon Forrest….another boxer involved in another senseless murder in ATL. Car jacking…nuccah’s need to get a damn job and stop trying to take other people’s isht that they have worked hard for. You will be missed in the boxing community Vernon!
CHRIS BROWN IS CAPATILIZING OFF OF THIS VIDEO AS WELL, WHICH IS A GOOD THING. BECAUSE OF THIS VIDEO CHRIS BROWN’S FOREVER IS #7 ON I-TUNES TOP SONGS, WAS #6 YESTERDAY.
personally i thought it was cute…mayb a lil inappropriate for a church, probably better suited for an outside wedding, however i really thought it was sweet…something fresh and new and i bet a whole bunch of other ppl will follow…
i LOVED this vid. those yt folks was jamming (in their mind). yes a tad bit inappropriate and maybe overrated but it WAS sweet.
I loved it! And no nothing is sacred anymore so why the surprise?
@keely107
r u saying In your opinion nothing is sacred anymore???? Cause I def have to disagree this was inapproipriate and inexcusable for a church….they might as well invited the devil himself up in there…and he probably was….u cant give something a pass cuz its cute….
I thought it was cute as well
@flyqtnva:
I am saying that only one judges what is sacred in HIS house so if you go around worrying about what other say is sacred there will be a church full of heterosexual, married parents with wives in veils and long skirts.
BTW, I give things a pass cause they are human, if we all lived as Gods there wouldnt be a need to worship one.
They danced in the bible and as a praise and trained dancer I know I have gotten my 2 step on in my church and our praise team will take songs from the radio (new and old) and mix them into gospel songs and we get our PRAISE and
ON! I hate a dead dry church if you don’t have good praise and worship session then I am not a happy camper..lol Of course the word/message has to be on point as well!
Keely YOU DID THAT! I have never heard that saying but I like it..lol
Keely Says:
BTW, I give things a pass cause they are human, if we all lived as Gods there wouldnt be a need to worship one.
@Daisy:
I was just about to say my church has a praise team that dances to every song! LOL. Who knows their heart? Could they have not been rejoicing over the union? Whats so wrong with that? Glad they only have to answer to one…..
@Keely girl we get down at my church we will do group dances like the electric slide (various versions)..lol we have a teen hip hop dance ministry and they def. get CRUNK when they minister. I love God, music and dance yes I do..lol I agree you can have a traditional church wedding but your heart could be all out of order you just never know
@Daisy:
LOL. Mines too! That was my point, how many things are done “traditionally” these days. Come on now.
And Keely……don’t forget…All brides will marry in WHITE…..LOL
@keely107 & @DAISY
jUST CURIOUS…WHAT CHURCH DO U GUYS GO TO….??? I’m not trying to be funny I’m just asking for my own education..you understand people better that way.. God has a calling on my life….& maybe just maybe I’m in the books to much….u can answer or not….IMO church should not CONFORM to the WORLD….WHAT IS IN THE WORLD SHOULD NOT BE IN THE CHURCH
Would Jesus Krump dance really? Electric slide….would you do these things around JESUS?…and I’m not talking about having a traditional wedding..I’m talking more of SECULAR DANCING & MUSIC IN THE CHURCH…
I attend St Phillip, and I agree with conforming to the world, but I would think that applies to in and out of church. So a saint on Sunday from 11-1 and all hell breaks loose after then?
@flyqtnva:
If its not well enough to do in his presence, dont do it at all. I electric slide at ALL my family reunions, so I would have to say yes.
@keely107
you funny…No if they are a SAINT its all the time not just SUNDAY…and IN NO WAY SHAPE OR FORM did I say I was A SAINT….I like things in the WORLD…I like to see what Rihanna has on every now and then..I got 2 more yeays left in school before I let go of all my worldly things (im a work in progress)but I still feel like the leaders of the church who r supposed to lead us to God are leading us to the world….this video is a perfect example..none of that will pop off in my church if I decide to go that route.
Good luck to you and your congregation, will you also not allow gays and single parents admission?
You ever hear a preacher always saying..GET YOUR BLESSING..GET YOUR BLESSING..GET YOUR BLESSING..sow this seed…sow this seed..its your harvest ..its your harvest…and nevers mentions what you have to do in order to recieve your blessing…or harvest…??? IT IS HARD TO BE A SOLIDER FOR CHRIST..its more than going to church on Sunday and tithing
@keely107
Where do you get that impression that I wouldnt allow gays or single parents….come on now..i feel like your insulting me…when I’m clearly asking so I can understand where your coming from…
Oh, my pastor makes it very clear what to do, and church is just like college (which you can identify with) you do your studying at home, then report for clarification. It is hard to be a soldier, but I dont see the difference between this and not wearing stockings with your dress. Its ok though, its just an opinion.
@Flyqt:
No I wasnt insulting. Just asking the same as you, I didnt take offense to your questions. Just trying to see what part of their wedding was so bad………….
@keely107
but I dont see the difference between this and not wearing stockings with your dress
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Thanks! thats what I was looking for. Okay so for clarification..u equate this video of people dancing in church to secular music as being the same (or just like) not wearing stockings to church?
Okay I get it..i’m with u almost
I attend the same church as Sandra Ray of Hope Christian church(www.rayofhope.org) where I have a FEMALE Pastor something alot of Chrisitans frown upon but she is an AWESOME women of God who has a HEART for Praise and Worship so she gets down right along with us..lol I am being fed so I am good!
I sure would do the electric slide in front of Jesus and ask him to join in!
I ain’t no bible thumper, but in Jesus day did they have…Choir Anniversary, Pastor Anniversary,Mens&Women Day, and any other special program……..Did the preachers have the best Camels or mules for transportation….
@Fly I cant tell you the last time I wore stockings to church most of the time I am in pants and my last commment is awaiting moderation UGGGH I think cause I put my churches website in it. I attend ray of hope where I have a female pastor something some chrisitans frown upon but she has a heart for praise and worship and God and she will out dance us some Sun..lol
@Goat>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>kona.
So keely107
This is where I am….to me (IMO) from the bible Satan IS the ANGEL OF MUSIC…so often u hear artist say…i have to smoke..drink..get stoned…in order to make incredible music or beats (google)..now y would I want that same music in church…at a wedding…that I’m going to bless this union (in the name of GOD) and they just danced in on SATANS wings..
@Daisy
I didnt say nothing about stocking in church that was keely107….
@Goat lol that was funny. IMO they had special ceremonies and services back in the day. I don’t have a problem with Pastors having the best rappers and actors do. As long as the Pastor can afford whatever it is they are driving on their salary I could care less. As long as I attend a church where we GIVE back to the community(local and internationally) and members of the church I could care less. As long as I know the Pastor isn’t mis mangaing the churches fund I could care less. Alot of these mega Pastors have BUSINESSES OUTSIDE the church they are not driving in these luxury cars based on what salary they get from the church IMO.
@Fly Just because some artist say that doesnt mean ALL artist have to get high and CB and his friends are on record as saying he doesnt smoke or drink even when asked about turning 21 he said he wasnt into that scene. After this past yr that may have changed but im saying. Also, do you listen to secular music at all? I am glad somebody is trying to start off their marriage saying F O R E V E R!!
@flyqt:
In the Bible Jesus also informed the traders that his father’s house was not a den of thieves, so does that make everything sold in the church susceptible to that one instance? Satan crosses all boundaries, not only in music. The individual act is judged on a case by case basis(whats for you is for you), it depends where the action was coming from. Again this was a couple executing the covenant that God created, I simply took the dance as praise.
I dont care if you wear stockings…i dont care if your gay…single parent..married..I dont care…I DONT LABEL PEOPLE….I see a generation of people (NOT SAYING ANY OF YOU) that dont know God but they go to church…how is this possible…they worship IDOLS…how many times have you heard BEYONCE say she wants to be an IDOL…WHY??? cause people worship IDOLS..over the last few weeks HOW MANY TIMES U HEAR people say MJ WAS AN IDOL….UNLIKE ANY OTHER????? y cause the church has let the world in and its mixing it all up in one big happy meal that takes 5 minutes to make and years to shake off
@goat76
I dont know where youre trying to go with that one but I will say in JESUS DAY HIS followers only needed HIM…
@keely107
God’s word if FREE….so IMO..NO they should not…y are they selling it? How cme everyweek they got a new book that says the same thing? buy the video..dvd..book..cd rom..cd..come on now….and every week they selling something ELSE…that makes me sad
Hello All. I was brought up in a Pentacostal Holiness Church, you know, fire and brimstone, you’re going to hell if you don’t live right, etc., so it’s kind of hard for me to conform to the contemporary churches of today, i.e., their music, their dancing, their dress, their message. I attended a new church yesterday, nondenominational, and most of the young ladies were scantily clad, boobs all out, tight skirts and pants, and plenty of makeup. My mother, God rest her soul, used to tell us not to dress inappropriately when going to church so the men won’t be lusting after you in church, that church is a place of worship and to respect it. I’m not saying these younguns were disrespecting the church but perhaps themselves?
I havent heard any correlation between Beyonce and church so that would be consistent with what you are saying. Once again though, these people didnt chose to shack up and have babies out of wedlock (no offense cause I did), they were uniting. My thing is the people that worship idols, are they less Godly than people who judge others? I am simply saying, no one here can cast stones, congratualtions are in order for the bride and groom.
Didnt watch it, but saw it on CNN. I think it was cute, definitely memorable. That will a really fun video to watch later on in life. 25th Anniversary - something like that.
@flyqt:
Okay then, thats cool. Im guessing your church will be more conservative, wont sell anything, no atm’s, only depend on offerings for revenue?
@PAHairston
I got to alot of churches for Observation..I attend Liberty University…double major religion & pysch…we go to see who is preaching NEW AGE..you would be surprised…some churces are come as u are….and yes the women come dressed like their going to the club…also I’ve been to a church where they will cover u up with a sheet or towel…when if they were preaching the right message to begin w/people wouldnt come that way…
@keely107
Im not in it for REVENUE..i could do anything for $$..wouldnt it be easier for me as a person to do something else..thats how i know i have the calling..and its a misconception that verse..judge not less ye be judged…a saint can judge..a real saint can judge..
Yes but where are the saints is the question?
@keely107
honey girl we could swap some stories I’m sure…we are all works in progress…i didnt have any kids out of wedlock..not because I’m perfect but because I came from a sinlge PARENT home (RIP MOM) ..i saw the struggle 1st hand …i got my first JOB AT 15 w/a work permit from school cause i was TIRED of my mom STRUGGLING to support 4 kids….i was happy to come home and give her my $….. i said A MAN WILL PROVE HIMSELF WORTHY..if he wants ME….& i I stuck with it..(with ALL MY FRIEND PREGNANT AT 15, 16, 17….I was like NO WAY! I still made relationship mistakes…went after the wrong guys and all that …..
ALL I’m saying is I just dont want to see a boat load of people doing this in CHURCH…anywhere else but church….
@keely107
IDK where the saints are …I’M looking to lol..let me know.. just kidding…
someone who is sacred, holy, pure, blameless, dedicated. They became saints by means of the Holy Spirit, which can only come from God. God therefore chooses His saints, and gives them of His Holy Spirit to make it possible..
The apostle Paul would be a good example…know anyone like him? and b4 u say it NO I DONT…and I am def not there yet…
@keely107
AND JUST TO MAKE YOU smile…u know we KEYLOLO and them do it… its going be bumpin & gridin..splits and stripper poles… lol.. so just be ready
@flyqt:
Yes we could and I rather enjoyed the convo. I was working at 14, not to help my mom, but to feed myself in a house with 2 crack addicted parents. I had children out of wedlock,because I thought that would heal my void. Not even 10 years ago a pregnant teen-ager was frowned upon in many churches and homes alike, and thought of as ungodly and unsacred. THAT is why I always see a story behind a story, its not always as simple as 2+2, so again as I said before if we went by what everybody else thinks is sacred I
would never have found my savior. (sorry dont know why it cut off)
Why did I almost have to fight my brother, his new wife and the wife’s sister and momma at my brother’s wedding this weekend?
Why did my uncle catch the gart and was about to put it back on the bride and she was going to let him? Why did he try to freak the bride??? WTF??
Why did I have to tell the ex-girlfriend/jumpoff that he is now married and to leave his azz alone??
I can’t wait to my brother gets to my house. I am going to tell his azz off.
Sorry, I meant garter, not gart.
LMAO@ Attorneymom!
keely107 I’m glad you found him…cause I knew him..but I didnt accept him til after my mom passed and I was always SAD & ANGRY….then he gave me my husband & then my children to fill my VOID….my father was addicted to crack as well..thats y he wasnt around..but guess what He’s not anymore..that ni@@a went in rehab the day after HER FUNERAL and been straight ever since…..as far as what is sacred it has already been laid out to me…and who are we as humans to alter it. BTW I’m proud at what you acomplished….some people dont make it out..so that tells me your a very very STRONG person.
@attorneymom
y was the ex there ….lol reminds me of a movie I cant think of the name …oh yeah SOUL food
I know God and Jesus is my PERSONAL Lord and Saviour! I will agree that alot of ppl go to church and do NOT know them for themselves and I think the reasons vary BUT I do NOT think they are bad ppl either so to speak. I walk and talk to Jesus each and every day!
I meant do NOT know him as in Jesus not them..typo
Personally…I thought it looked stupid!
Doing it the house of the lord or not….it looked goofy. The should’ve done that at an outside wedding.

*****************************************
It was goofy, but if it was black folk it would have been called all types of ghetto and not played on CNN as cute, even with Soledad on.
Now my family knows why the ex-girlfriend/jumpoff/babymoma was showing her azz. She and my brother were still messing around. We were trying to figure out why he had not told her that he was getting married this past weekend. Well, I took care of that ish yesterday. I told her azz that he is married just like I told her 12 years ago with his first marriage. She did not listen to me 12 years and ended up pregnant with my niece. Some women are just plain silly. Darn, 12 years later and we still having the same conversation.
