Online Wedding Bells Controversial, right-wing, TV-evangelist, Jerry Falwell will be conducting his first virtual wedding via the Internet on New Year's Eve. A couple, Dale and Lorrie (surnames withheld for privacy), from Pennsylvania will be the "happy" couple. Dale works for the ISP that carries Falwell's online evangelism program, SRT Enterprises, Inc. Only invited guests will be allowed into their password protected site so that bandwidth can be controlled. An archive of the event will be made available on the site for public viewing after the event.
