My opinion... I would still allow the Rev. to perform my wedding. The reason is first, we do not have the right to judge anyone, even if we know what was done by the Rev. was morally and biblically wrong. Secondly, I follow in the footsteps and the word of the Lord. Not another human being. The Rev.'s actions are not going to rub off on me simply because he would be performing my wedding ceremony. And I would definitely not worry about who disapproves of my decision. It would be my marriage anyway. If they don't like it, they have the choice not to attend my wedding. As long as I am strong in MY beliefs and faith, nothing else matter.
Would you stop going to the church of your choice just because there are MANY hypocrits that worship in the same church as you? Probably not. We all know that in every church, there are deacons, ushers, ministers, worshippers, etc... who lack morals. If someone's actions decided what I wanted to do in my life, I would probably never get anywhere.
This is simply my opinion.
