Bjorn Borg went from being a famous tennis player, to launch a fashion line, and now a popular dating website that promise "Love for All".

For me the video is really well made and romantic. And there are a lot of issue on the plate, not only the more obvious...

Wow, that does knock a lot of preconceptions on the head. Very moving.

Same sex marriage, marriage for priests, woman in priesthood... oh yes, a lot of meat on the fire. Elisa

I believe the word is "bellissima!"

[identity profile] elisa-rolle.livejournal.com 2009-02-27 09:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, "bellissima" is right even if is female, a video is a male word, and so "bellissimo" (we italians are strange and complicated...) ;-) Elisa

I guess a m/m video would be a 'male' video!

LOL, yes, you guess right! Elisa

You are right, sometime if a commercial is well done is even more effective, and this one is very good. Elisa

Lovely lovely video.
I adore that song. It's absolutely perfect for the theme. Thank you for sharing, Elisa.
It made my day.

I love this commercial and have seen it often. It's quite lovely in it's representation of love and being loved by family and friends!!

Not until now, did I note the significance of having a female priest preside over the ceremony. :)

[identity profile] elisa-rolle.livejournal.com 2009-02-28 05:03 pm (UTC)(link)
As I said there are a lot of important matters bring to attention in this video. Elisa

*melts* I love it! You're right, it's very romantic. And I love that there's a woman officiating at the wedding.

[identity profile] elisa-rolle.livejournal.com 2009-03-06 04:07 pm (UTC)(link)
It's one of the first things I noticed of this video, probably more than the same sex marriage. Elisa
