I loved it, it looked like a lot of fun.

Many of the churches in my area allow jeans and have rock bands, I could see them allowing something like this. And it looks like everyone was lined up and the sunglasses were off for the really important part.
 
That was the most joyful thing I''ve seen in a LONG time. It actually made me CRY, and I don''t cry over silly things like this! I love weddings, and I''m all for appropriate behavior, but this was just unexpected and cool. Maybe a little over the top, but still really fun to watch!

I absolutely loved this video.

Knowing my hubby and I and our personalities, if this was allowed 28 and one half years ago, we would have done it.

I don''t see it as a theatrical production at all. I see it as two people, so happy to be getting married that they are dancing for joy over it. If we were to look at the video now, going on 29 years later, we still would get a kick out of it.

I wanted to run down the aisle to my hubby, on our wedding day. HA!!!

I would agree except for one thing...the reruns down the aisle! It got old for me to see on video...I thought it was cute the first time around but after realizing I was seeing them over and over again, I was like, enough already!

I did get the dancing for joy part - the bride was the one I liked seeing like that.
 
I just think it is wierd to have a Chris Brown song to walk down the aisel to... I don''t know the whole domestic abuse thing just doesn''t scream "wedding" to me

Wonder who got the idea, and who choreographed it - - and how long it will be before the wedding industry decides to offer their services to create these off-Broadway productions as just another regular wedding must-have? Like after parties, and cocktail lounges, and monogrammed lighting effects, and the next day brunch, not to mention the candy bar.

Brace yourselves. It will be a trend.

See I don't see it like that at all. It was fun.... Refreshing.. Not something I have seen before... I LOVED it!!!!! What a way to start the mood for the wedding and the reception. I bet the reception was sooooo much fun. I like that it was different, they all seemed like such great friends and just did their thing their way....how great is that??

Instead of that typical march down the aisle... First bridesmaid, count to 10 next bridesmaid count to 10 blah blah blah...

If it is a trend, well fine with me!!!

I do wonder if they are High School Musical fans.
 
The whole appropriateness for a church thing occurred to me too... then I remembered that my very mainstream church has had dancing in the aisles... during the "traditional" services.

Rainwood, "Joyful and celebratory" describes what I saw perfectly! Any misgivings I had sort of disappeared when I saw the bride dancing down the aisle. My first thought was "thank goodness she's not wearing sunglasses!" After that all I saw was a woman who is celebrating her impending marriage!

That said, the whole thing was a little long.

and I loved the little snippet of the groom straightening his tie after his dance down the aisle.

I should add that although my house of worship doesn't (always) frown on dancing in the aisles, it does have some pretty strict guidelines about the music that can be used in wedding. Choreographing an entrance like that to Bach or Handel would present quite the creative challenge!

And yes, it probably will be imitated, and the imitations will probably leave people scratching their heads.
 
 
Lauren, I love these. I love the Thriller one, saw it before and still love it.


BTW, I sent the wedding one to my high school classmates that I am friends with. We all turn 60 this year. They absolutely LOVED it. We all wish we could have danced at our wedding ceremony.

A lot of them, have been married for 40 years. Thank you again, for posting it, it made our day.

I have a copy of my wedding video, that my husband sped way up and laid the Benny Hill theme song over. It's hilarious!

I don't think I've watched the real version of my wedding since my first viewing of it, but every few months, I beg my husband to drag out the old computer that has the Benny Hill version on it.
 
i loved the fact that they were so joyful, and there's plenty of verses in the Bible about dancing and making noise being a good thing and an appropriate thing to do to praise God - who seems to get that it's sometimes the best mode people have got to express their exuberance for life.

as for it being in a church - since i used to go to church in the local community hall, there wasn't anything particularly special or sacred about that. and churches will never be more than bricks and mortar. it's not like we have the Ark of the Covenant sitting out the front; those days were gone in Old Testament times.

churches have a history of being socially and culturally relevant - no denomination more so than the salvation army who used to take the current musical ditties of the day and replace the words with religious wording then sing them in the streets to attract the people to their services.

dancing down the aisles to Chris Brown may not be subtle, classy, or terribly Vogue, but it was *their* wedding, they enjoyed it, and who cares if it was too long, or it gets copied? and if it becomes hackneyed and copied, i'm sure creative, ingenious people will come up with new ways to express to the world the way marrying their beloved makes them feel.

when i married tim, and i turned the corner of the aisle and saw him, i wanted to dance. if i'd been older and knew then what i know now, i would have done it too. life's too short to keep the joy bottled in, and there's enough rules and pain in the world. and how nice it would have been of my wedding party to have sacrificed their cool to extend my joy.

i thought it was wonderful.

Well said Whitby dear. When I saw my hubby, I wanted to dance, run and to cartwheels down the aisle ha ha ha.
 
I LOVED it! And DH was sitting here when I watched it and he said, "That''s one of the coolest things I have ever seen!"

That was better than most of the SYTYCD numbers this season!

And I'm sorry, but I would have KILLED to have had such an interested and engaged bridal party that was so willing to do that for me-- and compared to many of the horror stories on here... OMG did I have a great bridal party! How awesome for the bride and groom. And to be able to share their joy with their freinds and family like that. I think that's just wonderful.

Weddings are about the couple getting married-- not about God for me. Atheists marry. And even if it were about God, they aren't about buildings, which is really all that churches are. People were getting married before their were churches, and the whole world is a church. So if you can dance in a grove for joy, or under the stars, why not in a church. As far as I'm concerned... it's all God's house. Which is why we got married in the most beautiful church ever created... outside. Under the sky. Rituals are traditions are to comfort people, I personally don't believe that God needs anything more than the sincerity you have to offer your heart and in your soul... however that's expressed. And I don't believe a wedding ceremony needs more than that either. But apparently some think it needs incense and candles, and others think it needs a choreographed dance routine. Whatever floats your boat.

Well, huge, exuberant DITTO. And also to what you said about life being short and all that jazz. The box is boring, not to mention it gets stifling and smelly in there sometimes!

They had a great time and it was joyful and in a good spirit, so good for them.

Would I do this for my ceremony? No.

Ditto everything Monnie said. I may be slightly more prone to crying than she is, but I made it halfway through the video before I was full-on crying because they all captured exactly how I think a wedding should feel--not just the afterparty, but the moment leading up to the vows. I love that they''re all bursting with pure joy, for themselves and their friends who are getting married. Just wonderful!

Of course, it wouldn''t work for us because J isn''t really a dancer and we have no bridal party...but I think it is absolutely fantastic.
 
I LOVE it!!!! Awesome!!!!
 
I think that''s FABULOUS! What a fun wedding.

THAT is exactly what I was thinking!! I tried SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO hard to get my bridal party to do a choreographed bridal party dance at our reception, but most wanted no part. And to even get them to fulfil their DUTIES (that they agreed to when they took the role) was hard enough, let alone going above and beyond like this!! I think it was GREAT and shows how awesome the friendships PROBABLY are. (Of course, we have NO IDEA what the stress of the rehearsals, etc. looked like. HA HA)

Oh Monnie, I''m so glad you said this! I thought I was the only crazy one. I was grooving along and then the bride came out and she was just so joyous that I cried too!
