The best man at my wedding had the show play “I still haven’t
found what I’m looking for.” I’ve never forgotten it, been
married 28 years...
[/quote]
I would have taken this as the best man not having found what he
was looking for, if anything, or that he just liked the song. I
wouldn't have taken this as a slight against you at all!
I was at a wedding this past weekend which was decidedly
anti-religious of any sort. The officiant and the bride and the
groom each stated during the ceremony that they intended to rush
through the ceremony so they could go get drunk. It was
off-putting to a lot of people, but apparently exactly the vibe
they wished to convey!

I think that you're in the U.S., so it makes me wonder why they
didn't just have a courthouse ceremony when it was convenient,
and then a party afterward.

I very much got the sense that the wedding and speeches were
exactly what the couple wanted (despite knowing the bride’s mom
was not pleased). I think they wanted the ceremony and to be
viewed as “cool like that” that their internet endorsed
officiant was in on the “let’s party!!!!!” vibe. The vows
included, “I promise to not watch the next episode on Netflix
without you,” and “I promise to buy you Chipotle when you get
hangry.” It didn’t come across as serious at all to me, and I
got the sense that is exactly what they intended to convey. Not
that their marriage isn’t a big deal to them, but that they are
just so cool that they were going to buck any tradition while
also having a Big White Wedding.

Young people. Hopefully they'll take their marriage seriously
and none of this will matter in the long run. I could see them
25 years from now complaining about their own children's
choices.
