Here comes the bride...in a hooker dress

| What is more beautiful than a wedding? |
A couple of months ago, I attended a friend's wedding. Her father was the officiant and it was a very well crafted and beautiful affair. I think she wore two gowns, one for the ceremony and one for the reception. Both were beautiful...and looked nothing like this:
Granted, I have seen different variations of this dress in a myriad of venues, none of those venues were weddings or more specifically weddings at a church. A Houston bride, Lisa Washington, allegedly decided her church wedding was the right place and time for this hot number.
Now, I know many churches are "come as you are", but this right here just seems a bit ridiculous to me. People keep trying to turn church houses into twerk houses and it has gotten out of hand.

I know brides are supposed to control their day...but c'mon now. At some point did she consider where she was and that her dress, though acceptable on Bridezillas, would not be acceptable in a house of worship?
Many said that the official should have just gone ahead and performed the ceremony, for it was his fault that the bride did not know or understand the dress code. The two people getting married were not members of his congregation. Evidently, Washington did not marry her intended groom on that day...or any day after.
I understand that perspective. However, according to some reports there was a minister willing to perform the ceremony. Why could the bride and groom not take that minister to another venue and gone ahead with their nuptials?
Maybe everyone was focusing on the wrong thing: THE DRESS. No one seemed to care about the actual marriage.
I personally do not feel Canty was wrong by not performing the ceremony, however some things could have been hashed out prior to the wedding so that all of this time and effort were not wasted.
Has come as you are gotten out of hand at churches? Are too many people leaving as they were when they walked in with little to no transformation? Was Canty out of line for not performing the ceremony? Should Washington have chosen another dress?
