AIBU buy they copied our wedding dance

[NotForSale]

Background-
Group of friends, all couples, friends for about 4/5 years. DH and I got married last year and this particular couple came. Earlier this year, all couples together watching films and the song that came on when the credits rolled so DH and I decided to recreate our dance after a few drinks. A few days later female friend said to me that that was actually the wedding song they have planned, they had completely forgotten we had used it at our wedding (how could they?! Our dancing was amazing, lol) and did I mind? Of course I said no, it's a song, who has ownership of a song etc.
Fast forward to their wedding this weekend, and they used said song, but also had exactly the same dance routine. I mean, everything identical (we went to lessons and learnt it). Isn't that a bit weird? Like less than 12months later they're doing the same dance routine to the same song? Even if they went to lessons to learn it (but they say they haven't had lessons) then they could ask for a different routine ?
I know you can't have ownership of a song (or a dance) but AIBU to expect that you at least do your own version? Mutual friends attending both weddings so if they care (probably don't) it would be pretty obvious.

Honestly - it doesn't fucking matter.

The thing is Hex if you are fairly inept on the dancefloor and dread the idea of being watched being inept, then its easier if you work out beforehand what you are going to do. Obviously in our case it didn't work out but that was the reason.

meow , pussycats...

First world problems. Staged wedding dances are the height of cringe.

OH LORD I hope I'm never subjected to a wedding where the couple perform a choreographed 'wedding dance'. cringe

Oh I'd love to be in the audience at a rehearsed wedding dance.

The potential for it to develop in to a live episode of You've Been Framed!

Plus just funny. Type of funny where you have to avoid eye contact with your partner/friends for fear of dissolving in to hysterical laughter.

Weddings are ridiculously expensive, brides put themselves under so much pressure. Our wedding gorgeous memory cost £150 including dress and hubbies suit. O.k it was 48 years ago. Our first dance Lets Twist Again and we were terrible.

If I had been at both weddings and the dance really was that memorable then I would be a bit at them copying you step for step.

My cousin got married 3 months after my sister and it was like going to a recrenactment! All the little details that my sister had got for their day were copied by my cousin. Even the venue was the same, despite them saying was going to be somewhere else. Was all very odd and yes, everyone in the family noticed. DSis was fuming, but she was a total fucking bridezilla in the 2 year previously (we are best friends but I almost didnt go, thats how bad she was) and was then in the throws of post wedding blues at cousins wedding. She is over now and sees as the rest of do, a bit cringey but basically a compliment.

re-enactment even!

Weddings crack me up.

It's not David Brent's dance fro The Office is it?

Went to a family wedding...same colour scheme, same flowers. Way too much similar. We just laughed that obviously we were trendsetters (on an amusing note, my friend got married at the same church as recent Middleton wedding years before and noticed an hilarious similarity in colour scheme, flowers and bride's dress!)

NotForSale - please, please, please recreate the dance with DH for us - have some drinks if needed - we are gagging for it! Upload the recording. You know you want to. And your place in classics history will be forever remembered.

I don't remember my own first wedding dance let alone ANY of my friends' dances!

Yes, YABU. You had a wedding dance which is actually hilarious.

You need to stop being self important. They said it was their song at the same time you mentioned it. People choose from the same few songs and even if you go to different dance teacher, they teach almost identical dances. When I buried my father a few of his friends were gutted as they choose the same funeral song. Nobody is going to say they copied my dad who did not have a chance to even choose his. People will not remember a song, they remember my father. I will not accuse anyone of copying us, they are friends so I expect them to have the same tastes.

Think yourself lucky...the DJ at our wedding played completely the wrong fucking song!

Does it really matter?
And ....why do a choreographed wedding dance anyway ????? Unless you are brilliant it's just totally cringe making!

was it this

I'm with you, I would be annoyed. Your wedding was special. They copied you, haven't they got any originality? I think you're right to be hurt , I would be. It kinda takes the specialness away from your dance.

My wedding dance was amazing too. Amazing because my husband actually danced and I didn't stand on his feet. I think it can be described as 'timed swaying' :D

I agree with Spare - YABU - get a life!!

That's BRILL Itsnot! (I particularly liked the way they stopped the song mid-bar to bring the chairs on . . . )

Interestingly, the fair-haired bloke was just like that blonde lass out of Pan's People - always two steps behind everybody else. I wonder if it's genetically-linked to blonde hair and (possibly) blue eyes.
