To find pre-planned wedding dance routines a bit tacky?

[BodyformForYou]

Has anyone seen the videos doing the rounds of the wedding dance routines? has anyone BEEN to a wedding where a prepared dance has taken place? These are the kinds of things I mean

My dp's friend had one of these and when he pulled his new bride between his legs her dress came down a bit and everyone saw her boobs!
Wish I'd been at that one!

Jill and Kevin. ROFL. Thats enough

See i think tge 1st one is horrendous shes a professional dancer for beyonce

Agree, it's just ridiculous. It's like something she should be doing for her husband in the honeymoon suite, not in a fecking church (?)

Oh gawd we had one of these in the family a few years ago. The B and G started dancing but the wrong CD was playing so they stopped and then started again and it was mortifying for us watching so how they faced that down I do not know. It was videoed too! The whole thing was a tackfest from start to finish. It's making me a bit edgy just remembering it!

Actually I'd rather break both of my own legs than do that. Thank God I've never seen it in real life. I'm a terribly humorous rude drunk heckler

Snigger

I'm the same. I hope to fuck that I am never at a wedding where something like this happens hahaha

Once, and I cringed the whole way through. The bride and groom probably enjoyed it though, and it was their wedding after all.

They are both show-offs though so no one expected any less.

I must be a geek, I like all these bar the fist one. I like the Maid of Honour Rap too.

I hope my sister gets married soon, this thread is gold. How did I not know about any of this?

I'm going to suggest dh and I renew our vows and do this. Just to see his face (he is worse than me).

fist?

first one

I'm getting married in July and we're not even doing the B&G first dance because a) we don't really have an "our song" and b) neither of us feels comfortable with it. We may rock out Apache later in the evening though....

hahaha

This one is rather sweet though. It's a simplified version of the American Smooth he won Strictly with, which was so romantic that if I had been his fiancée I too would have insisted that he had to dance like that with me or else.

fitgirl26 - first dance isn't for everyone hun, me and my husband didn't do a first dance either - would have just been a sweaty uncomfortable mess for both of us

I'm not sure I like it, but each to their own and all that.
Personally our 'first dance' was more us turning round and round for 3 and a half minutes, willing the first verse and chorus to hurry up so other people would get up and join in, and then for the song to hurry up and end, so we could stop.

I think its one of those things that was great for the first few people who did it but after a while it is just............ well I suppose tacky sums it up.

I can't actually remember if we did. We had a ceilidh band though.

Absolutely bloody horrific. Someone I used to know did a full on Nikki Minaj routine at her wedding. So, so embarrassing and tacky.

I think the first is cringe-inducingly awful and showy. i think the one in aisles dancing in is fun and joyful, tongue in cheek and never fails to make me smile. very different IMO.

I don't like these kind of videos but I went to a wedding a few years ago where the happy couple did a choreographed dance and actually in real life it was adorable.

They looked like they were having such fun it was lovely.

I thought that was utterly brilliant and joyful!

My friend had a ceilidh mavis, it was great fun.

I think I'm going to stipulate a ceilidh at my funeral. I do hope that it is not a 'thing' by then to animate the corpse in some macabre marionette show. Then stick the footage in YouTube.

We went to a family wedding many years ago, and the B & G did their first dance to Bryan Adams. They made all the guests stand around them in a circle and hold candles, and they kept snogging. It was the most horrific experience ever and has genuinely put me off weddings for life. There was just no need. We have a policy now of avoidance of wedding receptions at all costs. So we never have to worry about seeing the above .

See, I quite like the Harry and Izzy one - it makes sense and you know what its there. He won a big Tv programme with the same dance, it was a classic type of dance and no doubt it fit in with their wedding style.

Likewise the song Tom Fletcher sang at his wedding - they were his (and his bands) own songs that he wrote - and made sense to be part of that wedding.

I dont mind the MOH rap - its quite funny, and not too OTT.

I suppose in someways that ought to make the first dance (melinda??) one kind of fit - but it doesn't;t as it is just a bit too OTT for a wedding and made her groom look like he was in a lap dancing bar! It sis just not the right kind of dance for a wedding imo (but hey, Im probably old!)

Some of the others are more funny than anything else - Id cringe if it was being taken seriously by those involved, rather it was just supposed to be a bit daft and silly than properly serious! No one Id ever be part of it myself. I also think they are a bit 'old' now - surely most of the different styles have been done a million times over these days.

Based on recent weddings Ive been too not everyone even has a 'first dance' these days anyway.

My friend this this. At one point during the routine she bent over and the groom pretended to spank her -vom.
The worst bit is that they had paid for lessons to learn the routine.
