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...
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.
