I can only say that I hope these postings are done in jest, and are not meant to be a real representation of your understanding of Catholicism.
Catholic weddings have been performed out-of-doors for millenia, and, though local diocese may determine their own structures around the marriage ceremony, there is nothing in Catholic teachings that state a wedding must be performed indoors.
Furthermore, perhaps for your own interest, the Sacrament of Marriage, as defined by the Church, does not even require that a priest be present. The bride and groom are the Ministers of the Sacrament and the Church states that a witness must also be present - typically a priest, but not required by the Church.
-Perhaps you should spend less time on the web, and more time reading the actual Catechism...
LOL! Meena, I didn't say anything about Catholicism in this post. Having a wedding on a ledge 20 feet above a pool clearly isn't a good idea logistically. Also the above wedding isn't a Catholic wedding so I'm not sure why you are so upset.
From the Catechism of the Catholic Church:
1621 In the Latin Rite the celebration of marriage between two Catholic faithful normally takes place during Holy Mass, because of the connection of all the sacraments with the Paschal mystery of Christ. In the Eucharist the memorial of the New Covenant is realized, the New Covenant in which Christ has united himself for ever to the Church, his beloved bride for whom he gave himself up. It is therefore fitting that the spouses should seal their consent to give themselves to each other through the offering of their own lives by uniting it to the offering of Christ for his Church made present in the Eucharistic sacrifice, and by receiving the Eucharist so that, communicating in the same Body and the same Blood of Christ, they may form but "one body" in Christ.
1623 According to Latin tradition, the spouses as ministers of Christ's grace mutually confer upon each other the sacrament of Matrimony by expressing their consent before the Church. (the priest is a minister of the Church, hence why he must be present albiet does not confer the sacrament, the spouses confer the sacrament to each other)
