but it is closer to the best thing than the worst. It looked like so much fun. I bet the reception was really wild.

It starts off well,begins to go on too long and gets a little embarassing, then they all come back and it's truly excellent, and when the bride appears frankly I got a little teary.

Nice to see the grandmother of the groom geting into it too.

They should have budgeted for a better (or sober) cameraman though.

to the tune of I Owe You Nothing?

It was certainly different. Different is good. Maybe.

and, to save a bit of cash, they've jettisoned a DJ and asked for volunteer guests to "do a turn" on the "wheels of steel"* I would love to play something that elicts the same response as the clip above.

*CD players

.....so it has to be good. I even had to tap my foot to some RnB (which I normally avoid like the plague). Forever by Chris Brown by the way. I know you are all guiltily heading for Spotify...

"Smack My Bitch Up" as a B-side?

:D

The person behind the camera did a great job, too. I would be interested in what their "story" is. Are they all creative types? Whose idea was it? You really need agreement from absolutely everyone to do something like that. My guess would be an amateur dramatics group.

The suits were pretty vile but it did look fun. The music was pretty good too.

spare us from wedding skits , it's bad enough people make their family and friends schlep half way across the country without skits. Why don't they just hire a double decker bus and ride round town shouting "look at me".
If I was the minister I would have called their bluff and not married them for being shallow.

Fair brought a tear to the eye. Probably took alot of nerve to pull it off too. 3.6 million views as I write... A lot will try it but not do it nearly as well.

I thinks its something quite original.

If I have sit through yet another wedding where the bride has spent an equivelant amount of money as the debt of Congo and/or tried to recreate some OK celebrity do, I think I will cry.

Also agree that the cameraman could have done with a tripod...

Good luck to them.

Like to see the after video when the inevitable tears and obligatory fight have occured.

Neither funny nor original. It must be my age. I remember watching the craptastic Love Actually, and being embarrassed at the church wedding scene. I thought "people don't do that". How wrong was I?
They missed a trick, there. They should have consummated the marriage at the alter, immediately after the vows. That would have been the icing on the (wedding) cake.

is that, in view of it's popularity on youtube, every soon-to-be-married x-factor/BB/I'm a sleb junkie will be busting a gut to out-zany their antics.

i mean actual *marriages* are solemn enough as it is, so you may aswell liven up the wedding ceremony any way you can.

They looked like THEY enjoyed it and at the end of the day its what the couple want not whether anyone things its inappropriate etc etc

I want my coffin to trundle down the aisle to Chesney Hawkes' "I am the one and only". I think the lyrics will take on a new poignancy in such circumstances.
