Modern Reformation is asking pastors (on Twitter) if they&#8217;d allow it<\/a>. I can&#8217;t see why you wouldn&#8217;t if the rest of the ceremony focused on God. It&#8217;s different but what&#8217;s so Christian about walking down the aisle to &#8220;Here Comes the Bride?&#8221; Marriage is a celebration which is clearly reflected in their dance. Too bad that joy is lost on so many when they plan their ceremony. It becomes a burden more than a party. A pastor that can&#8217;t see that may want to reflect on what the day&#8217;s about and why a march down the aisle by the wedding party is more in keeping with the Christian view of marriage than a dance?
