Oli, I think at least part of the reason was to emphasize the hypocrisy of Mob life.Sheeran had just cold-bloodely murdered his benefactor on the orders of a Mob boss, and now he, that boss, and a bunch of other murderous Mob guys (that he's giving us a long look at, to my point earlier) are in church, looking on warmly and benevolently, as the Mob lawyer's daughter receives the sacrament of marriage.


Ntra la porta tua lu sangu � sparsu,
E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu...
E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu
Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.
