I just saw this and thought it was interesting from a couple that was raised Catholic.

Wow! That was soooo fun to watch!! I really enjoyed watching the two girls interact, the support, the totally unselfish rejoicing in one for the other, the grooms obvious love for his 1st wife and also the 2nd to be. I'm so thankful for his 1st wife that he didn't ditch her, but instead he continued to love and cherish her with understanding and then pursued the best obvious solution--take a 2nd wife. In time, it's very possible the 1st will overcome the sensitivity to touch and once again be able to enjoy the intimacy with her love. Thanks so much for sharing!
It’s good. These people are real — the sort you meet at a BF retreat. Sure, the segment is stage-managed and very produced, but their words, the look in their faces, and the ways they interact are true to life.
If the bride-to-be gave any direct answer to the question of how they met, it was quietly edited out. Maybe they didn't want to say, maybe it wasn't good television, maybe both.
I got a kick from seeing the first wife described as “fiancé’s wife” in the screen titles.

A few more exposures like this and we're going mainstream. OK maybe not.
Was interesting to watch though.

There were staged segements and edits, obviously. As I thought on this very fact last night, I wondered if perhaps some of her friends didn't start out with the idea of simply getting a video for memory's sake of choosing the dress and then it became this much bigger statement opportunity as the clerk got involved and realized what she had on her hands. There were parts of it IMO that would have been nigh to impossible to get the reality effect that we saw if it wasn't what I suggested--initially just getting a video of choosing the dress event.
The uploader has not made this video available in your country.... Well, that's a bit rude, we do like to watch stuff on the bottom of the world too.
It's very telling that several people in the comment seem to be implying that if the women were lesbians then this would be ok but since they aren't this is the worse thing ever. Lots of LGBT people on there being negative....
It is a trulty wierd and backwards culture that we live in.
In some ways, yes, but paradoxes have always abounded. Many of the big well-known conservative muckety-mucks (think William Bennett) predicted on the front end of the same-sex-marriage debate that it would lead to polygamy and perversions, so it shouldn't be a surprise that one of the inevitable byproducts of decriminalizing homosexuality would be increased acceptance for polygamy.
Nor, though, should we be surprised that those in the vanguard of gay rights would becoming as reticent to share the freedoms that were previously denied to them. Keep in mind that one of the largest blocs of people initially opposed to gay rights were American blacks, because they sensed that gays were horning in on their status as Most Popular Aggrieved Minority -- and now feminists are putting up some resistance to full acceptance of the transgender movement.
In each case, we are talking about human beings endowed with human nature. My inclination is to just let them make their comments. Free speech not only provides people platforms for disseminating unpopular ideas; it also provides others the opportunity to demonstrate just how bigoted they are.
