that is what i am stuck in.

An update was promised and i wasnt going to update until we had done it.

Tonight was the final practice at the venue. Hideous doesnt cover it. It was made worse by people wondering about the venue checking it out and sound and light men etc.... all standing and watching.

THEN the wedding planner woman just oh so causally asked if it was still ok fdor her to film it, post it on you tube and link it to the website.

MOther had lied and said this wasnt going to happen.

So, not only will we be embarassed in front of the whole wedding party, but also the rest of the world

fucking great mother.....

GGGGGRRRRR

Go, LollipopViolet! shoptilidtop, you could also threaten to write bad things about them (the veune) in online forums. They're not being hospitable to your mother's guests, by encouraging her in her idiotic dance idea. Also, trying to profit from it (profit yet again - bet your mother agreed to all sorts of other gimmicky things, rather than negotiating properly) is just gouging.

If you are not feeling up to this fight (and it does sound a lot, so close to the event), why not point your relatives (fellow dancers and others) to this thread, to give them ideas? You may have to namechange later, but solidarity really is the way to go to get through this.

somebodysfool I am crying laughing at your song My face hurts.

Op, do you have to wear one white bejewelled glove whilst doing a pelvic thrust and crotch grabbing as your signature move?!

warthog · 07/05/2010 13:15

holy crap

nickelclegg · 07/05/2010 13:19

shoptilidrop there could be a get-out.

i watched a series called "Three Grand Weddings" o nthe wedding channel, and one of the couples did that in their wedding at the end. then they showed the second couple, who started to do it, then stopped (don't know why, probably part of the "joke")

anyway, you could tell her that it would be embarrassing for her to do something that had already been done on a very well-watched TV programme.

shoptilidrop · 07/05/2010 13:23

that song is awesome.

i may wet myself laughing.

honestly.

a few weeks ago i did consider a white glove. we were doing an ' alfresco performace' it was cold. best i could come up with were some wooly black fingerless numbers. i wore one my sister the other.

Have just been to see brother who is almost beside himself. he is bringing new gf. he wasnt going to tell anyone but his mate has been invited. my brother thinkgs hes cool. think low jeans, hoodys and much gansta musik.
ALL his mates will know. I was laughing so hard at him i did nearly actually wee.

he said as long as he lives he will NEVER EVER do anything like this again. EVER.

I just said, Schomon. and burst out laughing.

I told him the retort of ' i was michael jackson for you'

quote of the week, thats quote of a lifetime!
He thought it was very funny.

she has no idea what she is doing to us. no idea at all.
wedding planner can kiss my dancing ass as far as im concerned.

Shop, PLEASE get the wedding planner to dance with you. I would pay money to see the look on her face...

shoptilidrop · 07/05/2010 13:29

ah - i cant get out of it. i cant betray the rest of the ' unfortunate six'

one for all and all for one!

I shall just keep trying to find it funny. Brother was getting grumpy saying he wasnt bloody louie and this was not pineapple dance studios.

tears of laughter i tell you.

We have been calling him billy elloitt for weeks.

but i have no idea why im taking the piss out of him as ive got to to the bloody thing too.

OnlyWantsOne · 07/05/2010 13:31

ahhhh HA

shoptilidrop · 07/05/2010 13:32

she cant - noone can. its a proper thing. all spacings and timings worked out. you cant just tag someone on the end. it would be all wrong.

this is not just some idiots doing the dance, well it is. but its been cheorgraphed its all moving lines, and changing postions and things. i wish people could join in but it cant happen.
forgot to mention that at the end we are meant to pull people up onto the danc floor with us.

there is fat chance of that happening is there. esp with a video camera rolling

Iklboo · 07/05/2010 13:34

Assuming mother and her Dh will be a the front of the dance..just sneak off the floor while her back's turned & leave her to it

shoptilidrop · 07/05/2010 13:34

Wear the high heels, and then you might genuinely fall over and twist your ankle? (preferably before cameras start rolling).

Not to be negative, but even if you refuse permission to the 'official' filming, there will be at least two guests who will film it on their cameras and upload it anyway.

On the positive side, I believe MJ's estate is quite litigious and so will forcibly remove any video that uses his music without permission... think there was an instance of a mum who filmed her little toddler dancing solely for family to see to MJ and was forced to take it down after legal threats.

So you might not be able to get out of it... but if it is filmed, it won't be out there for long..

GeekOfTheWeek · 07/05/2010 13:47

This thread is hilarious

Think like michael jackson. Be michael jackson.

op, please oh please will you moonwalk to your position on the dancefloor.

lynnexxxo · 07/05/2010 13:51

There is always a silver lining....

In 10 years you can look back at it and amaze at how slim you were and how young you look.

And your mum will owe you big time!

shoptilidrop · 07/05/2010 13:54

pmsl

i had planned on shimmying, but have was worried about possible boob misthap

moonwalking into postion might just solve that.

oh my god....lol. i cant type for laugiung

i think dave migth moonwalk. mum does the ' its your birhtday' dance arms thing.. you know teh stupid arms into postion. every time she does it i have to not look else i laugh and get told off.

my sister is doing this strange jump type thing. im not quite sure what it is.
ive dared her to do this elf move that we made up a few months ago while drunk. she MIGHT do it if iget her drunk enough.

i cant see what everyone else does. being at the front.... the odd bits i have seen filmed is awful

oh my god. we have like 3/4 dance counts of moving.. its the ; your paralysed' so not much time.....

im just goiing to get drunk and go for it. i cant see any other option. brother is sneakying in hip flask as she says he just cant do it otherwise.

sisiter only needs a sniff of wine.

shoptilidrop · 07/05/2010 14:05

we have been

at practice.

when it was the stag do i left a note on my brothers bed for him ( he lives at home and i was visiting mum) saying that.

he didnt find it funny , which made it more funny.

but we get told off for messing about! Mum tells us off as she has paid a lot of money for the lessons and we are wasting them.

lol

you should see her do the zombie swimming type move. it is the funniest thing. even the teacher cant help but laugh at her.

why does she want to do this. and why is it going online.

i do not understand.

its just total disbeliefe and whats going to happen.

bloody nightmare

lol

You poor woman, shamonetilidrop, we're not really feeling your pain enough are we?

God you must feel like they're out to get you, there's demons closing in on every side.
Do you think they will possess you unless you change that number on your dial?
We should all support her, cuddle close together, yeah.
All through the night we'll save you from the terror on the screen.

You poor reluectant lord of the dance
