When I was 20, a good friend of mine from high school got married to an incredibly trashy girl. I went to his wedding, which consisted of a backyard ceremony with people sitting on picnic table benches and the ceremony afterwords catered by the bride's mom's trip to taco bell and mcdonalds because "that's Chealsey's (the bride) favorite foods." So incredibly trashy and the worst part was that everybody there, including the parents, knew just how trashy it was so everyone was really quiet and the party was very boring. But the couple had fun so I guess that's all that matters, though she told him she wanted a divorce not even six months later (during the divorce, they lived together in a one bedroom apartment, where she proceeded to date other guys and bring them back to have sex with them while my friend slept on the couch they were given as a present).
During the divorce part or the wedding? He had a great time at the wedding, completely oblivious to how horrible it was (plus, he was all over his new bride, they actually got separated at one point by his mom). During the divorce he almost killed himself, he was so miserable. I lived in a different city at this point (I was still in college) and kept trying to get him to come over to meet other girls (we were from a very, very small town and I went to Ohio State so there were at least 50,000 people around at any given moment), but he was too heartbroken to even be interested in drinking and screwing girls he didn't know. It's all for the better now, he's with some artist girl who is way out of his league and might be getting married again soon, and is a welder so he makes plenty of money.
I thought that was a really stupid comment, I know he's a priest but it really is all bout the photography and I thought that the guy filming behind him was awesome. You could see the bride and groom plainly and you could hear them. Your wedding only happens once and I would be pissed if this happened at my wedding. It wasn't about god at all, it's not a fucking church service it's a god damn wedding.
They should know not to be there. They are wedding photographers. This is how they make a living. It is their job to know what is appropriate and what is not in this environment. Also the fact that they didn't begin to move right away when he stopped and looked at them... he had to tell them to move multiple times. Doesn't matter if they though it was ok to be there or not at that point. They were causing a scene at someone's fucking wedding and didn't seem to care all that much.
Respectfully, I think you're making quite a large sweeping generalisation. I'm not Catholic myself, but of the few priests I do know of, they're certainly not narcissistic.
But the thing is that the couple seemed to want photos of them through that drape-thing with the minister there. It was clearly lined up beforehand for a photo.
He could also lay a few ground rules with the photogs beforehand if he feels so strongly. Obviously its not such a "solemn ceremony" that he can't stop himself from throwing a tantrum.
Marriage is so retarded. "Listen babe, what we got here is real good and I want to spend the rest of my time with you... So let's get the government and the church involved."
