I love it when people really personalize their own events like this couple did. Really set the mood for the rest of the evening. Well put.

Unfortunately human morals play no role on the Internets. It'll be alright though, see it as an opportunity to ionize that big warm cuddly heart of yours. Welcome to the Internets, paps.

People actually laugh and reply to my comments, interesting conversations arise, and I end up having a decent night when I go out with friends (something which isn't easy for me). Oh how I hate the video you used to show this example, Lisa, but then I must admit that the video communicates this point clearly, even if it is the music of deaf sheeple who will like anything as long as it's in the top charts or on MTV.

I am a big fan of bold authenticity in relationships and in business. The fact this video has circulated so fast around the globe, on facebook and into email inboxes is a sign of how much people are CRAVING authentic expression. Many people fear the same with weddings and business: that if they step out and do something REALLY BOLD that people will think they are being too silly and not taking it all seriously enough. I think we are too serious! Whether marrying someone or hiring a small business owner to provide some kind of service, I would much rather choose someone who is willing to take a risk and have some fun! Bravo to this couple and to you for posting! This is the kind of fun everyone should have at their wedding and as an entrepreneur!

There is nothing enjoyable, interesting, nor insightful about your post on this video. "When you finally stop taking yourself so seriously... Your customers will probably expect you to act a certain way today. The same old greetings, the same service, the same old promises, etc.." Stop taking yourself so seriously, and stop trying to turn genuine moments into commercial ones. You really embody everything I hate about modern American culture. Stop trying to sell, and just embrace the joy. I saw this video weeks ago and loved it because they were clearly just embracing their joy.

I was raised in a church and would just like to say that I found nothing offensive about it. A wedding is a celebration, even Christ Him self turned water into wine at a wedding when the bible clearly states that wine is for the mourning man. If the song were profane it would be different but I thought it was great. Anyway the usual song has no words so whats the big deal that this one said nothing of god? And as for what Dimplemonkey said about taking all the attention for themselves...never seen a bride throw a fit cause it wasnt going the way she wanted it??
