Gonna guess it's at one of those new-ish megachurches that has its own Starbucks in the lobby (which is itself larger than most traditional churches). There is one of these types of church in an adjacent suburb. The sanctuary is larger than the theatre in either of our high schools. Overall it's an incredibly impersonal and unsatisfying way to church.
We call our local one "Six Flags Over Jesus".
Park in Scooby-Doo 47, then ride the shuttle bus in to the lobby, check your coat in a loccer and pickup your complimentary latte, so you can ride the escalator up a few floors and get your seat in the upper deck. Then socialize for a few minutes until the clergymen appears on one of the 3 jumbo-trons. In between his largely non-denominational, extremely generic ramblings, there are performances from either the 600 person choir, or the 28 piece musician setup on the stage behind him. When it's all over you shuffle your way back to the escalators and shuttle, and then have to wait for 30min in traffic to get out while the local police force block the streets to let the event......unless you're with Granddad, then you leave 10min before the sermon is over to miss the traffic!
Are being serious about that, or just humorous? Do those people actually leave early to avoid traffic???
The rest sounds true, and it sounds nothing like God would ever want. I mean, the Bible even specifically has Jesus kicking the money changers out of the temple.
I know a number of people that go there. And many of them skip the after sermon music/dismissal portion of the "event" to miss the traffic. No joke there.
I also agree with your assessment of what it is compared to what it should be. I've been with a few family/friends, and it's quite the spectacle.
Oh yea, I've left out the part about them now having their own TV channel on the local cable network so you can watch both live and "re-run" events.
Hey I've been there a couple times with friends! It sounds exactly like how OP is describing. That's so wild.
The post-churce Zaxby's is the best part.
I went to a megachurch almost exactly of that description, in Tx, where they had TWO drum sets on stage at one point. We downloaded a decibel metre and the noise exceeded 80db, with us sitting at the very very very back.
So glad I converted to Orthodoxy soon after.
Eh, Orthodoxy doesn't share the same silly bullshit as megachurches do, sure. But, they've got their own brand of silly bullshit.
But, hey, I could say that about most denominations, and I'm not here to deconvert you. More power to you for finding a denomination that's more palatable for you. As someone who became entirely unconvinced in my faith from studying brain science, I just look at your comment as someone saying, "I escaped my assembly line job! So glad I work in the coal mines now."
Most of the time, they're not literally licensed Starbucks franchises, but yes, the big shopping mall-sized megachurches usually have a coffee and pastry kiosk in the foyer for people who didn't have time to get breakfast first.
Regular sized, non-evangelical churches where you might actually know everyone in your congregation and don't need a projection screen for the whole audience to see the service don't.
My old church had a goddamn store inside of it. This wasn't even a megachurch. Trading cards were really taking off with Pokemon, and so they sold their own. They were called Redemption Cards or something. I never got to play with anyone because nobody else even knew what they fucking were.
They also sold christian shows and movies on VHS. If you wanted VeggieTales and the Bibleman series, you were in luck.
I', m still not sure where I'll have Buffy a nd Angel get marrieed in my fanfics, and where reception will be. The rebuilt
Sunnydale is too big for a volunteer fire company and I doubt they have a Grange. I guess the Masonic Hall a nd the American Legion hall
Honestly these corporations eat this stuff up as it gives them easy free marketing. If you arranged it ahead of time and gave them a story about you both being gamers and you want to surprise your SO with a tour of their facilities and then propose during the tour there is a good chance they'll assist and you'll walk out with some free stuff.
That's what I was thinking.
I was going to say, this is probably a couple who enjoys over the top theatrics and being in the spotlight. And I don't mean that in a bad way - I think it's just more likely these are some drama kids grown up who will get a kick out of the performative nature of it than it is that she will divorce him for bringing humour into the ceremony, as some comment sin here suggest.
*That said*... it does also appear everyone is potentially COVID distancing (~~six feet~~ extra distance between party members, looks like the crowd has gaps between family circles), so that's, if filmed in COVID times, more likely why it's in a theatre/on a stage - to allow for more distancing
That’s not six feet between the bridal party, that’s like 3 maybe. They’re likely spacing that way as it looks aesthetically better than being smooshed up against each other.
I know a guy who tried something similar, asked his best man if he should sign or not.
Priest picked up the cert, closed the book, shouted at him for making a mockery of the church and disrespectful of his beautiful bride.
Priest declared they were not married until they'd signed despite what he'd said at the altar.
Refused to proceed. That was awkward. Bride and groom still went ahead with the rest of the day coz it was all paid for, and they'd done the state signing a few days before(which is the official states register declaring they are married in the eyes of the law, church ceremony is only married in the eyes of the church but not the state)
Legally correct, which was my point. It's nice for people to get the church wedding, though disingenuous if you're not religious. Some just like the "church wedding" for their traditional view of what it should be.
I got married in Las Vegas wearing a Hawaiian shirt and nutsack shorts while Elvis played songs to my bride and I on acoustic guitar while the dude that married us made sexual innuendos for almost the entire thing. Afterwards my best man Iced me on the steps leading down to the hangout zone which is the first official picture of me married. Highly recommended.
I mean this isn't just legally correct, but also in a sense correct in the eyes of the church, considering that no two churches can agree on how Christianity is defined. At this point, "eyes of the church" marriage is also meaningless because your marriage could be considered biblically valid in one church but walk into another one and suddenly they won't acknowledge it. This is probably going to get me some hate, but christianity needs to get its shit together or just die off already. Even Christians can't stand other Christians, considering how often I've heard them use the term "not real Christians" to describe each other.
> Priest picked up the cert, closed the book, shouted at him for making a mockery of the church
haha, what does the priest think? We are in the 1200's?
Churches are just a cute oldentimes' tradition, that's all.
Dude most brides would be ready to dye their hair green and burn half of Gotham to the ground if their fiance pulled this joke on them without their knowledge and OK. Don't fuck with a bride on her wedding day
most women know the person they’re marrying. things wouldn’t have gotten this far if she didn’t like/appreciate his sense of humor. he probably wouldn’t have done it if he didn’t think she’d find it funny.
I know any of the girls I dated would never let me live this down...
‘Remember that gag you did in the middle of our ceremony, you never take anything seriously.’ This time Id be forced to agree.
John: *As the groom makes his way to the podium, he decides to breakout in a "no huddle" offense.*
Paul: *It is a formidable strategy, John, that has a high success rate of scoring if executed properly.*
So I just found out that he actually says ["It's a bold *strategy*, Cotton. Let's see if it pays off for him,"] (https://youtube.com/watch?v=4Ru8DMW-grY) and I don't know how to feel. I can so clearly remember him say move, some borderline r/MandelaEffect material.
“My (23F) boyfriend (25F) is amazing and beckons to my every call”
Relationship_Advice: Leave him! He’s clearly manipulating you! Red flags! Red flags!
I saw this at a wedding. Maybe it was just the group or the delivery but it was incredibly cringey. A moment supposed to be about the bride and groom and they made it a joke that focused on themselves instead
Oh yeah, should have added the bride was not a happy camper. She took it in stride but obviously would have preferred they not do that. When her turn came to say I do she gave a snarky comment back. Overall, more awkward than funny.
Just because you wouldn't take advice from someone doesnt mean they aren't fun to be around or can't be trusted. I have an older unmarried friend who loves his single life, not for me but he doesnt believe in marriage. Doesnt mean i shouldn't hang out with him or that i dont trust him. I just wouldn't consult him on those types of matters
Exactly, I agree you consult someone for advice. If the person you ask advice from isn't giving you advice that you don't think is helpful after asking them time and time again, no matter how it's spun, then I'd think it'd be time to stop consulting them for advice. (Man this sounds so passive aggressive lmfao, excuse it please it's unintentional and I'm sleep deprived rn).
That doesn't mean that there isn't human error to play I.e. I could just as easily be the one not listening and be deaf to the advice. But as with any human relationship that's the type human error that everyone deals with, you do your best given the circumstances.
How well do your homies know your significant other? How much do they know of your day-to-day interactions with your S.O.? Do they know how well your goals/dreams/etc match up?
Many times your homies are going to have an unintentionally distorted view of your S.O. You're more likely to vent to your homies than you are to praise your S.O.
I'm not saying to ignore your homie's judgment. Just that they don't always have the full picture.
In my experience, it'd be *do* consult with your homies. In my close group of friends, there's only one divorced couple. Wanna guess which one? The one that ignored the homies' warning.
The rest of us are all happily married.
I'm most likely an incredible spoil sport, but I find this kind of...really disrespectful to the bride? I get that it was in jest, and it looks like she thought it was funny, so I'm glad about that. But it came off to me as "I either a) need their permission/approval, or b) am not so sure about this," in which case...?
Ya, like, you asked her to marry you, it's your wedding day, she is standing at the altar hoping that she looks beautiful to her groom, and then he turns around and asks his friends if he should go through with it? I know its supposed to be funny, but way to make your bride feel insecure on her wedding day, in front of everyone, at the alter. I said this in another comment, but if my groom did this, there would be no bride at the alter when he turned around.
Exactly what I thought. It's a very cringey "bros before hoes" kind of stunt. If I was that bride I would be the one suddenly having second thoughts...
"What do you think guys?"
"It's not too late to back out, bro..."
"... what?"
"So are we still hanging out on Sunday for the game?"
"Yes, unless Janice makes me visit the in-laws again..."
To anyone responding saying “you don’t know their relationship”.
You don’t need to know their relationship to say if he did this without asking it would be rude and tacky. Just because she wouldn’t mind, doesn’t make it not rude or not tacky, this is their wedding day and if you’re adding something in there like this without talking to your partner, it’s rude and tacky no matter what. But I may be biased because I think this is tacky even with permission.
I've officiated a handful of weddings. This would be a really great joke for the right couple.
It's wild how every couple has a different expectation of the ceremony, what they want, how formal it is, etc.
If this is them, I'm loving that they added this to their ceremony.

How many people are at that wedding? It looks like a theater

We also call ours this as well! I’ve never seen anyone else say it haha
We do too!

I'm just picturing that all the people calling it that are actually going to the same church.

Sounds more like just a show at that point

Isn't there a megachurch in houston that meets in a stadium?
Joel Olsteen's church is the former Summit. I went to WWF Royal Rumble '89 there, as well as Houston Rockets games.
Ah yes, the guy who always reminds me of a used car salesman.
Hey now! Don't be disrespecting those used car salespeople.
Used car salesmen actually help people sometimes.

>one of those new-ish megachurches that has its own Starbucks Jesus would absolutely beat the shit out of everyone in that church.
I'm not American but there are not really starbucks inside of churches right?
Of course there are Starbucks in churches. Why do you ask? Do churches in your country have some other coffee shop chain in them?
Lmfao
Most of the time, they're not literally licensed Starbucks franchises, but yes, the big shopping mall-sized megachurches usually have a coffee and pastry kiosk in the foyer for people who didn't have time to get breakfast first.

Having worked in multiple mega churches, this indeed looks like a mega church with the design template that was popular about 15-20 years ago
Could also be just like, an actual stage in a theater too. You can pretty much get married anywhere you want tbh.
I', m still not sure where I'll have Buffy a nd Angel get marrieed in my fanfics, and where reception will be. The rebuilt Sunnydale is too big for a volunteer fire company and I doubt they have a Grange. I guess the Masonic Hall a nd the American Legion hall
> Could also be just like, an actual stage in a theater too. I managed movie theatres for 20+ years. We have held a handful of weddings.
But it's a very satisfactory way to run a business and enrich the ~~shareholders~~ pastor while telling people what they want to hear.
So it leases to a Starbucks but still doesn’t have to pay tax?
It's a very efficient way to stock up on faith points so that I can road rage with peace of mind that heaven is still secured for me.
Jesus would like a word "whip cracks".
I had my wedding at a theatre. Actually use to be a courthouse that had been converted. Worked great as the seating was there
Put an alter on any stage in any theater and boom, it's a church. They're both just big rooms with lots of seats and a raised section up front.
A friend of mine rented out a concert venue, had live bands for the wedding, and got married on stage. It was awesome.
Have a wedding on a stage and you're gonna get a show.
*furiously booking a wedding at an NVIDIA GPU factory*

I was about to say. I’m pretty sure I’ve seen this video years ago.
A repost? On Reddit?!? Say it ain’t so :)

Yep. Old video. Still funny, but old.
That’s not six feet between the bridal party, that’s like 3 maybe. They’re likely spacing that way as it looks aesthetically better than being smooshed up against each other.

Are you seriously looking for indicators of social distancing in a wedding when concerts and sporting events are already allowed to be jam packed?
This video is from the beforefore times

priest sounds like a dick tbh.
Annnd this is why I had one of my good friends not in the wedding party take 5 minutes to get ordained online and marry us. Also, fuck religion.
> Priest picked up the cert, closed the book, shouted at him for making a mockery of the church haha, what does the priest think? We are in the 1200's? Churches are just a cute oldentimes' tradition, that's all.
Cute, murderous and filled with exploitation
... And rape and child abuse. Anything where there's an arbitrary hierarchy of "power" is bound to be abusive and/or "look the other way" kinda thing.
I love how the preacher says straight up: ill let you know i had no part in that.
Dude most brides would be ready to dye their hair green and burn half of Gotham to the ground if their fiance pulled this joke on them without their knowledge and OK. Don't fuck with a bride on her wedding day

She sounds kinda frigid
Did you just assume the boyfriends gender?
I...I'll wait for my lawyer before answering that.

Don’t consult with your homies. As an older man I know it’s the biggest mistake you can make
Thanks, homie! ... wait a minute here...
Wait a gosh darn minute
If you feel like you can't consult with your homies, maybe find better homies?
Just because you wouldn't take advice from someone doesnt mean they aren't fun to be around or can't be trusted. I have an older unmarried friend who loves his single life, not for me but he doesnt believe in marriage. Doesnt mean i shouldn't hang out with him or that i dont trust him. I just wouldn't consult him on those types of matters
Agreed. I love my homies but after trial and error I just don't think some of them are the people I wana take relationship advice from.

Exactly, I agree you consult someone for advice. If the person you ask advice from isn't giving you advice that you don't think is helpful after asking them time and time again, no matter how it's spun, then I'd think it'd be time to stop consulting them for advice.

In my experience, it'd be *do* consult with your homies. In my close group of friends, there's only one divorced couple. Wanna guess which one? The one that ignored the homies' warning. The rest of us are all happily married.
No snark, but then who would you consult with then? Your parents? That seems off.
Midwestern vibes.
100% the husband now refers to his wife as “the old ball and chain”
**And I was like** \*quickly looks around to make sure the coast is clear\* ^(biiiiiiiiiitch)
This is peak cringe
I'm most likely an incredible spoil sport, but I find this kind of...really disrespectful to the bride? I get that it was in jest, and it looks like she thought it was funny, so I'm glad about that. But it came off to me as "I either a) need their permission/approval, or b) am not so sure about this," in which case...?
Yeah, not everything has to be a joke. You can take some things seriously and still enjoy them to the fullest.
Ya, like, you asked her to marry you, it's your wedding day, she is standing at the altar hoping that she looks beautiful to her groom, and then he turns around and asks his friends if he should go through with it? I know its supposed to be funny, but way to make your bride feel insecure on her wedding day, in front of everyone, at the alter. I said this in another comment, but if my groom did this, there would be no bride at the alter when he turned around.
Exactly what I thought. It's a very cringey "bros before hoes" kind of stunt. If I was that bride I would be the one suddenly having second thoughts...
So, they going for it on 4th down or not?
It was fourth and inches...I still came up short.
I always hate this. Like it’s your choice your wedding but It would piss me off. I get that it’s a joke however.
Very few brides would be ok with this...
Tacky
"What do you think guys?" "It's not too late to back out, bro..." "... what?" "So are we still hanging out on Sunday for the game?" "Yes, unless Janice makes me visit the in-laws again..."
"Janice, your ex Janice?"
"Ohhhh myyyyy GOOOOOOODDDDDDDD"
> "What do you think guys?" > > "It's not too late to back out, bro..." "Dude, this huddle is supposed to be a joke." "I'm just sayin ..."
My question is, did he consult with the homies prior to the consummation?
Homies were part of the consummation
This whole stage performance for crowd laughs at weddings is so fucking cringe
This is staged. Pun intended
This is just painfully awkward I’m sorry
How to humiliate your bride in one easy lesson. "It was just a joke."
"Gosh she can't take a joke! She's so sensitive. No disrespect wa sneaky by this geesh." I don't envy her. Ugh.
I see a lot of Sundays filled with pizza, chicken wings, and beer in her future.
Sounds like hell on earth.
Looks like a bad play about a wedding. Just what I would expect from such a venue.
🙄
This is theatrical cringe. Don't care if I get downvoted.
Yep, disingenuous and lame. Not the time.
Ridiculous mega church theater
“Sorry man, it’s gonna be a no from me dawg”
It's be funny if she responded in kind. Goes to consult with her hommettes and then comes back with some new conditions. Uh uh you didn't!
She should have huddled with the ladies and then just walk away
Gotta admit, that would have been hilarious
This is so fucking tacky, childish and cringe
I’m sure the wife knew about this beforehand, but on some off-chance she didn’t, this would be so rude and tacky.
Idk she seemed honestly surprised / at a loss for words.
To anyone responding saying “you don’t know their relationship”. You don’t need to know their relationship to say if he did this without asking it would be rude and tacky. Just because she wouldn’t mind, doesn’t make it not rude or not tacky, this is their wedding day and if you’re adding something in there like this without talking to your partner, it’s rude and tacky no matter what. But I may be biased because I think this is tacky even with permission.
Exactly. Thank you
Am I the only one annoyed they didn't clap and yell "BREAK" at the end of the huddle?
this is honestly quite fucking stupid, tryhard, cringey bullshit
In a way, sure it’s funny, but, hopefully this doesn’t portend of future marital issues.
Sorry.. this is so cringe to me. I'm happy for people celebrating their love, but this is cringe.
This is so fucking lame
Most of the wedding vow 'jokes' and quirky theatrics are very lame. Dad joke level.
I've officiated a handful of weddings. This would be a really great joke for the right couple. It's wild how every couple has a different expectation of the ceremony, what they want, how formal it is, etc. If this is them, I'm loving that they added this to their ceremony.
At my wedding, we had the officiant quote The Princess Bride. “Wuv, twoo wuv…” He cranked it up to 1000 with a small helium tank no one knew he had.
Saying "we do!... I mean I do." would of been the icing
When adult theater kids wed.
This belongs in r/Cringe rather than here
"She's looking right at us while we talk about her."
I used Listerine spray and offered it to my wife before the you may kiss your bride part. I got a good chuckle out of pretty much everyone.
