Only in our YouTube age could the “private” celebration of a rather unconventional entrance to a wedding EXPLODE into a worldwide phenomenon.
I had HEARD about the “dancing wedding” as it was called around offices nationwide. Before I got the chance to search for it on YouTube, I saw a reenactment on-of all places-- The Today Show! NBC, always at the cutting edge for the web-made-mass-appeal, invited the bride, groom and entire wedding party to perform the same entrance on the program. Smart.
This, of course, prompted me to finally link to the original video on the web. Very entertaining-although you can tell that some of the older guests are not entirely impressed with the less-than-traditional approach to a church wedding.
What do you think?
Personally, I say, “Hey, it’s THEIR wedding! Let them do what makes them happy!” Of course, both bride and groom need to agree. Imagine if, say, just the groom and his attendants did the chicken dance down the aisle to a surprised and horrified bride hoping for a solemn start to wedlock! Not a good way to launch the ol’ nuptials, if you ask me!
If you haven’t seen the video, here it is:

My guess is that these two people have a happy adventure waiting for them. A sense of humor is always an asset, but ESPECIALLY in a marriage. We should check in with them 10 years from now to see if they are still together. But then again, NBC and “The Today Show” have probably already thought of that!
