If you were the bride or groom, would this piss you off?

With ebaumsworld, to be fair, you never know what the hell it it. This could be staged anti-religion video, or whatever.

It's also posted on CNN.com and other websites, so I think it's legit...

What about CNN makes it legit? :lmao:

But what were they hurting by standing there? Would the harm caused by them being there be more so than interupting the wedding? The bride and groom will NEVER forget about the moment. It will always be a part of their special day and now it's all over the internet.

This.

I may go as far to say that i would have considered suing the guy (serious). What he did to that couple, to everyone at that wedding, by his asinine handling of the situation, will put a black mark on their wedding FOREVER.

I know this because my wife and I talk about LITTLE things that went wrong at our wedding. Years past the fact. Tiny, inconsequential details that weren't perfect that bothered us. Things that nobody will remember.

Having a guy publicly shame someone in the middle of your ceremony? People remember that stuff. Forever.

The officiant's tone and voice volume were entirely inappropriate. He acted like a total ****. Wow....what an incredible douche.

Ever notice how often religion is used as an excuse to be an ass?

There is a couple of things that bother me about this. I see fault on both sides. The photographer(s) being spoken too have to be a couple of yahoos. Why would you be talking during the ceremony, be that close and then not leave immediately when requested to do so. Leaving the camera running during the confrontation and talking back to the minister makes me think it was intended to get a reaction. Their positioning to me was inappropriate from the start. On the priests side I think he was wrong to make it such an issue for so long. It showd a lack of regard for the couple being married who looked confused. It likely ruined their day. I am not a professional and only shot one video wedding many year ago for friends who desperately wanted a video of their wedding but could not afford a pro. I did not want to do it but its hard to refuse the couple when they come over and beg you as a last resort. I relented but even having no idea of what I was doing I knew enough that the day was about the couple and making their day special, so I met with the minister first to determine where in the church he would feel comfortable for me to setup and then from the options he gave me I setup in a choir stall off to the side where there was good coverage of the whole ceremony, and I would be as unobrusive as possible and not draw the attention of the couple away from each other or the minister. In the end it all went well and they were pleased with the results. I would never have been shooting right behind the minister over his shoulder like that. Makes me wonder what they were thinking.

Ok. It's not a blanket statement on all religious statements. In fact, yeah it's not worded right. heres a better way to word it: being a religious person is not an excuse to treat others in less than humane ways.

Ok, I can dig that! :mrgreen:

There's no excuse to treat others in less than humane ways.

FIFY.

The problem is that most "Christians" don't live like Christ. That's why most people think we're hypocrites. I won't go into anymore debate as I don't want to be the reason this thread gets locked.

Well that was supposed to quote Rotanimod.

It looks like the sound of the shutter was the final straw. Other than the mechanical shutter sounds, I don't see what they possibly did that was so disturbing. Whatever. Bride & Groom probably should have made sure that the priest wasn't scared of cameras first.

The wedding party failed to ensure that photography would be OK, and the priest over-reacted, IMO.

What the hell Runnah! I am not your average MOM! I am a milf! Can I say that on TPF? :lmao:

He might have been but he handled it like an ass.

How else could he have handled it ? he was doing his job and his comes before the photographer, and im not the slightest bit religious

He should have told the bride and groom about his view of photography before the wedding during the planning stage and suggested an alternative minister/priest if they did not agree with him. His job may not come before the photographer in the view of the bride and groom. Most brides and grooms want BOTH: the ceremony and the photography.

 

[skieur]

I am not sure who the photographer is in this video, but if he's the photographer that was hired by the couple to shoot the wedding, I think I'd be a bit pissed off at the minister for this outburst. Thoughts?

If I was the father of the bride, I would take it up with the "supervisor" of the minister (different title in various religions) or sue him for ruining my daughter's wedding.
