But dancing in front of the chosen-kallah is ok? So was this ok. Just another way to entertain at a wedding.

Chassan’s friends will generally not take part in that part – it’s just for close family.
And yes, you have to understand about the way Chazal did it, but rabbanim have said things are different today.

Since when do 2 wrongs make a right? I never mentioned anything about dancing in front of the kalla so not sure why you are bringing it up.

Yekkes have a minhag to sing a song about Bais Hamikdash at chuppa before breaking glass. But I’ve heard that for others to start is not so simple. I heard that a certain gadol spoke out against doing so. While it may sound funny at first, there are reasons for things, and one should ask before starting new minhagim.
I’m not saying about this vid – maybe they asked, no idea. What I wonder is why they chose this song, I’d at least choose something upbeat about longing for geula. This song sounds more about remembering Holocaust. At least that’s how Shmuel Borger introduces it on his tape.

Family: Don’t take anything personally here; things get hashed over mercilessly; we have no idea who you are. (But you can respond if you like! Though you may want to do so with screen name.)

Is it a minhag of the oilam to incessantly talk during a chuppah? This kid is singing his kishkas out, and I hear lots of talking in the background. Not only is it rude and disrespectful during a very holy time, but also shows how little people care about someone else’s simcha. If you don’t care, don’t go. I’m not a crochety old lady, but I have shushed people at chuppahs many times. Guess which gender is worse…and it’s not the women!
