Surely the whole point here is that the minister is effectively the "host" in his own church and must be allowed to dictate his preferences according to his own views and preferences. If the wedding party (most of whom I have to say have probably not darkened the door of a church before in their lifetimes) don't agree then they are free to go elsewhere. Who here would turn up at a social occasion demanding that everything must be done their way and their host has no business disagreeing?
On a not unrelated subject who was it who said that a gentleman is someone who knows how to play the bagpipes - but doesn't!
. Perhaps you could ask your piper neighbour which church it was. I would be interested to know.
