How to Have a Stylish Baptism

A friend sends this video with the comment, “‘stylish baptism’ is a combination of words that causes civilizations to crumble.”

Some of the advice (“this is not the time to be boobalicious”) is quite sound, though.

Update: A commenter below writes, “Of course, if this were about a  wedding  (including a church wedding) nobody would think anything of it. To a believing Christian, which is a more important life event, a baptism, or a wedding? One might argue that modern weddings are overdone, but weddings and wedding feasts in the Gospels seem to have been quite joyous and extravagant affairs.”
