Re: mitzvot music

Well, that seems a bit scanty evidence to make sucha 
claim. There's nothing anti-jewish about vows
(although Jews are discouraged from making them
because they're so serious, a wedding would certainly
be an appropriate place for them) they're just not 
part of the wedding ceremony, so I would have trouble
figuring out how you would know how to program music
for them, since I suppose they could be inserted just
about anywhere, and take any amount of time.
