if you were asked to do something at a wedding you werent comfortable with???

[Becaroooo]

Story...SILs best friend (who I have known for many years and who I like very much) is getting married this summer. I was pleasantly surprised that we got an invite (dh and I that is, not the dc)

Apparently it is now quite common at wedding receptions for there to be a sort of choreographed/staged dance routine (I had NO idea this happened, having been married a long while and never been to a wedding where this happened!)

Soooo, SIL has asked me to take part (they are short of girls and people keep dropping out).

I am mortified I think it sounds dreadful and vomit inducing.

However, SIL seems sure the BTB will love it and she is pretty desperate - or she wouldnt have asked me!!!!!!!!!

So, do I grit my teeth, make a complete arse of myself and give the BTB a good laugh or say no.........

WWYD?????

Ha ha. Sorry but "people keep dropping out" Ha ha. I really, really wonder why?

What kind of dance? How many?

OH NO. Your a better woman than Me if you say yes!

god....its a "mash up"

so its not just me who thinks its a really naff idea then???

phew...thought I was being a bitch!

What the hell is a mash up?

I dont know!!! sob....

Start a new thread...please, someone should know!?

try having a look on you tube to give you an idea of what to expect. There's some corkers on there. From the fantastic to the flipping awful.

- it just means mixing two songs together.

This is a re-run of the appalling Thriller thread, only you can decide if your spirit can take being forced to pretend you are a modern day Kid from Fame ...

Ok I get it now, 'mash up' makes sense. However this would not make me change my mind. Sticking with OH NO!

Just mention you twisted your ankle a while back and it keeps playing up - but statre in a conversation that doesn't include the wedding so that it is embedded in her mind when you eventually remind her of it next time she asks about joining in with the dance

I would only do the thriller routine anything else is {yawn}

something like this:

It's been done to death now, not funny or original anymore.

What a lovely, tasteful wedding video. I so hope Wills and Kate will be following in this grand tradition.

I had honestly never heard of this before

Feel like I would be really sane mean to say no...

OMG!!!!!!

I wont end up on youtube will I?????????

Noooooooooooooooooooooo................

Good grief. Just say no.

I agree. People keep dropping out because it is, as you say, dreadful and vomit-inducing. If the BTB is going to love it so much, let her mortify herself to Baby Got Back like in the Youtube example.

PMSL at the baby got back clip. OP you can't do it!

If this is now common practice at weddings (I've never seen it, but haven't been to a wedding in a few years - only 3 or so) then marriage should be banned until people learn to control themselves. What's next - Livin' on a Prayer at funerals? Funerals other than Jon Bon Jovi's own actual one? (Which of course I hope will not be for many years).

Tack. Ee.

tribot pmsl! I am having "burnin love" by Elvis as I go into the flames Tacky? Moi?

pink I know I know........

Bec - I think you won't be performing a mash-up in such circumstances. Or indeed dancing of any kind.
