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

MJ would turn in his grave if he knew.

WHY has this become the thing to do? and was I the only person growing up in the 80s who didn't learn the whole dance off by heart?

ShrimpOnTheBarbie · 08/05/2010 03:00

me too.
Very funny. You may have to suffer eternal embarrassment on youtube but at least you got a thread on classics!

Just had a thought - they sometimes pick up these kind of things and show them on breakfast telly here in Aus. If you do the crotch grab, I bet we'll be seeing you along with our cornflakes on Monday morning!

schmontilidrop · 08/05/2010 07:26

morning

tis the day

i can assure you this is real. sadly for me.

''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.... ''

er actually.... the first bit of the dance is to hungry eyes. im not kidding.
it really is. Thats been properly cheorgraphed as well.
then the scratching and it changes to thriller.

as the leader of the unfortunate 6, i could maybe make them do a crotch grab., it would be funny wouldnt it. depends on the state of drunkeness......... maybe. why not. couldnt make it any worse could it???!!!!!

this is a very very funny thread. im loving the vows

yes - i can feel, i can feel it, i can feeeeeel it.

pmsl

fucking hell.

moonwalks off to certain embarassment......

Lionstar · 08/05/2010 07:29

Good Luck Schmon, I'll be thinking of you - and can't wait to see your dance of shame

theagedparent · 08/05/2010 07:32

Hope all goes well today.
Maybe you could set the fire alarms off at the apporpriate moment?

Earthstar · 08/05/2010 08:27

Well done on being the best dancer!

Try and enjoy it, that't the only way to go at this point!

weblette · 08/05/2010 08:48

The very best of British to you Schmon

hocuspontas · 08/05/2010 08:53

Just marking my place for later!

I feel for you op. Having watched loads of 'surprise' dances some are really good and some are just so bad and cringeworthy! AAArgh! Hope yours is the former. Good luck!

JackBauer · 08/05/2010 09:02

Go schmon!

You are living the nightmare dream.

jamaisjedors · 08/05/2010 09:04

Good luck!

GhostInTheBackOfYourHead · 08/05/2010 09:06

marking

WorkingItOutAsIGo · 08/05/2010 09:14

My waking thought today was

IT'S BRIDETHRILLA DAY!

Thinking of you schmon. Crotch grab definitely a good idea. Just think how pleased your mum will be.

NumptyMum · 08/05/2010 09:30

Good luck!! It will definitely be a day to remember, either way... . And at least after today Bridezilla will (or hopefully/maybe/should?) be no more...

Arcadie · 08/05/2010 10:00

GO Schmon GO!!!!!
I feel your youtube pain - I was posted doing a MC Hammer shambles a couple of years ago - took a while to claw back the dignity but it can be done. I SO want to see this dance....

dearprudence · 08/05/2010 10:03
