D100 Dropping below 1/60th in Program Mode

I have a D1OO that I use to shoot weddings with. I usually use it in

shutter or manuel mode. I have found that when I use it in Program

mode it will drop the shutter speed below 1/6oth without giving me any

warning. Hard to trust it if I don't want blurry pictures. Is there

anyway set the camera so it won't drop below 1/60th of a second in

Program?

It's doing that because it is trying to give you a correct exposure and in Program mode, it is doing exactly what it is supposed to. There is not enough light. Increase the ISO, use a faster lens, or use a flash. For event photography, I find it most consistent (read no surprises) to use manual mode and the integrated meter as a guide.

Thanks. I don't use program to shoot almost anything but my friend uses her program mode a lot and hers will not drop below 1/60. I think it just won't take the pictures unless the flash is up. I guess mine is a little more hands on then hers is.
