if half the guests were religious then you hardly have
a case of the minority ruling the affair. and even if
so my point still stands. if the bride and groom wish
to respect the wishes of even one guest then isnt that
their prerogative? and furthermore, who says you have
to sit on your hands? is it completely forbidden to
dance separately? is it a given that you wont have any
fun at all??
