wedding dance thriller hell.

[shoptilidrop]

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

I've just looked on you tube for thriller at weddings and found this www.youtube.com/watch?v=YT6InvLJUzA

I do hope you manage to survive it.! Please let us know what it was like

ph my gosh. i have a thread in classics. I have arrived

just got back from pre wedding meal.
Groom was having his back waxed when i got there. mum was asking if anyone could do her thighs then we all laughed as my brother was trimming his chest hairs.

much laughing came when we reminded my sister to ' breathe in' when in pictures ( old family joke) and i do just wonder why my family is so bloody nuts.

We interogated mother on the youtube thing. she just doesnt care and if we like it or not it will go on. i tried the date protection thing... and the violation of our rights, and disclaimer thing... she just laughs.

word is out and my brother who solomonly declared he has a rep to protect ( like a t bird im assuming?) is just dying about it.

Apparently mums friend, the only non family memeber of the unfortunate 6 had a face like thunder on the way home from the practice yesterday and hardly spoke.

lol

sister is not wearing any leg cast so i think thats safe. unless she was buying supplies for tomorrow. told them about the song, they thought it was very funny then told me off for telling more people. LOL

Dance is happening about 8.30/8:45. Its in this seperate bit which i think will be screened off and then the screens pulled back as the dance is announced.
mum and her dh will then do their bit then the music will change and we will have total embarassment.

the stiff drinks will not be happening after the ddance, they will be happening before.

seriously happening before.

else im not doing it.

i might go for the MJ lean.. if im feeling it from the crowd and drunk enough.

dear god. this is really THE most embarassing thing to ever happen to me.

have you seen how many hits that video has had.

oh my god.

i just dont want me on there, doing that. forever.
and ever
and ever

the bloody michael jackson thriller dance.

why couldnt they have picked sometihng better.

or just been normal

lol

Honestly Schmon - all don masks with your mum's face on it, in a homage to the bride, before doing the dance and you'll protect your anonymity AND make your mum the youtube sensation she wants to be - its win win

PLEEEEEASE grab your crotch and squeal at the end!

In for a penny eh?!

You are already a legend, may as well make it worth it!

i am not grabbing my crotch.

that is never going to happen. not in a million years. EVER.

Just no.

lol.

would you want to be on the internet grabbing your crotch.

NO

PMSL

the mask idea is good. but its tomorrow and ive got a ton of stuff to do before then.
otherwise its an excellent idea.

i dont want to be a legend. neither do the rest of us. i do not want to be the leader of the unfortunate 6.

shit - this is really going to happen isnt it. i keep laughing but im so not giong to be laughing tomorrow evening.

...aaah but you had thought about it though...maybe when the drinks are flowing and the inhibitions are down

You ARE the leader of the Unfortunate 6 - it is down to you how this goes, let's not forget you are centre forward.

This time tomorrow (+ an hour!) it'll all be over.

Your poor DD - I wonder if she is expecting this to happen to her as some kind of rite of passage??! Maybe explain it or she may run away in terror!

dh is being an usher at a friend's wedding this summer. He has been disappearing every Tuesday night for 10 months now for 'rehearsals' but won't tell me what they're doing.

Have shown him this thread.

He is shifting uncomfortably.

Dear God.

hahahahha
I just can't wait to see all this vids on you tube!

Oh prof - noooooooooooooooo how embarassing LMAO

hmm i think it might be an infringement of copyright if you upload the video to youtube. you'd have to pay for the copyright to mj's lot.

there's your legal loophole i do believe.

Schmon I'm sorry but ROFL at this. I saw your earlier thread and your mum is certifiable...any chance of 2 friendly docs sectioning her...? HAHAHAHAHA

Yay! It's in Classics.

So schmon, can you feel it? Can you feel it? Can you feeeeeeeeel it?

Do you have a pep talk ready for the 'Thriller 6'? Any limbering-up moves ready?

Schmon.

Just keep reminding yourself, this means free babysitting and unlimited favours until the end of time.

'nother video here - more like you? here

I feel for you, I think I would actually be feeling sick

I love your mum.

I wish i could be there

'the way you make me feel' OOOH

Annie do you want me...do you want me Annie...I'm a smooth criminal.

No really, i do hope it goes really well. Regarding the nipple flashing can you use double sided sticky tape on your boobs / bra.

Another excuse could be really bad period / period pains? Or suddenly announce your pregnant and then go home and get started ???

Just remembered at least it's not the dance from ... oh damn what is it - you know 'i had the time of my life ' patrick swayze and jennifer gray....

Oh dear. Oh Lordy. I thought this was going to be a thread from a mother, whose daughter wanted to do the thriller dance at her wedding. Which would have been bad enough, let's face it, but this....Poor you. I'm almost hyperventiliating and breaking out in hives on your behalf, but then I am the world's least exhibitionist person. I thank God with all my heart that back in the day when I got married (1992 - practically prehistoric, I know) wedding planners were a new fangled American idea that no-one understood or could afford, and pyramids of colour-coded cupcakes, dinky favours, and themed entertainment from the bride and groom were a yet to be invented horror twinkle in the wedding planner's eye!

It reminds me of Bridget Jones's mother (and not in a good way) when she started behaving inappropriately with her permatanned lover, and embarrassing poor Bridget.
Just have a few very stiff drinks and think of England.

Could you get the groom to change his vows to:

Hey Pretty Baby With The
High Heels On
You Give Me Fever
Like I've Never, Ever Known
You're Just A Product Of
Loveliness
I Like The Groove Of
Your Walk,
Your Talk, Your Dress
I Feel Your Fever
From Miles Around
I'll Pick You Up In My Car
And We'll Paint The Town
Just Kiss Me Baby
And Tell Me Twice
That You're The One For Me

I quite like this one

The wedding is tomorrow?! How exciting!!!

I've read the whole thread now. I'm exhausted. No, really, I think I've broken ribs and everything. This is the funniest thread I've ever ever read on MN, and I haven't even had a whole bottle of wine. Need to go and lie down now.
