Weddings are all about sex: a commitment to being sexy and sexually available to one's partner for the next fifty or sixty or seventy years.
So how could a pastor cancel a wedding on the basis of a bride's sexy dress?

The U.S. is still so influenced by its Puritan roots.
Yesterday I attended a Mexican-American wedding in Richmond, California, where sexuality was joyfully celebrated.
The bride, her bridesmaids, her mother, and most of the women present showed ample cleavage. Several guests wore gorgeous jeweled gowns with backs open to the waist, the kind you see when watching the Academy awards.
I felt awkwardly over-covered, under-endowed, and light-haired. Very northern European.
What fun to be immersed in another culture: Mariachis followed by banda music, guests from Jalisco and Guadalajara and Chihuahua, ten hours of hearing and speaking Spanish.
The Puritan desire to hide sexuality seemed so quaint in this context.
That pastor in Houston needs to expand his thinking. Thank you to Demetria L. Lucas for calling his action to wider attention.
