Actually, I wouldn't attend a church in which I KNEW there were "MANY hypocrits" that worship there, but that's just me. Again, this question raises the difference between KNOWING and NOT KNOWING; and, it is specifically focused on the person who presides over the ceremony and what his/her role symbolizes. So, I totally agree with DST Love! Jesse's role is to teach and to lead by example, so it DOES make a huge difference. In many churches, pastors are also pre-wedding counselors who determine if the couple is ready. Like the wedding party, the pastor's willingness to marry a couple is a show of his support of the union. How can Jesse determine my readiness, when he and his wife could use a few counseling sessions themselves? It's like that gospel song says: "Sweep around your own front door" I can't help you if I don't have myself together.
I'm with you, DoggyStyle-- Jesse can come to the wedding, and he can have a slice of my Delta cake (red velvet, of course), but he couldn't be the one who read our vows to us.
As far as this prestige thing goes, why would I even let a person preside over my nuptials if I and my fiance didn't already have a personal relationship with him? But hey-- that's just me.
