Best wedding processional. EVAR.

If you’ve not seen the “JK Wedding Entrance Dance” video that’s been making the rounds on teh intarwebs lately, you should go watch it now at YouTube. (I’d embed it here, but it’s been disallowed so it has to be watched over at YouTube.). Seriously, it’ll be the best time you’ve spent on the web since the I Like Turtles kid.

I don’t have much to say other than “wow!” What an entrance! It’s just so energetic and happy: what a wedding should be. I love the hand-held camera, the guests who clearly weren’t expecting such a treat but start clapping along immediately, and the summersault the groom takes on the way in. But what I really found amazing about it, and what it said to me, was these people are ecstatic to be getting married. To get your friends and family to dance down the aisle (and clearly, some folks aren’t the best dancers—I’m looking at you, 1920s-pugilist-punch-the-air-move-guy) is a testament to the couple’s infectious joy. I was smiling the whole time. Good for them to have a unique wedding and to share it with the world: the video’s got over 11 million views so far!

I can only imagine what their reception was like…

    Hey Scott… so glad to see the link to the JK wedding entry dance. Nice to see my thoughts crystalized in your review. I had the pleasure of seeing them recreate “the dance” on GMA (way better than dial up youtube). Looks like you weren’t the only one that was “wowed.”

    The bride, as you know, is a dancer and because she created the dance I will call her a choreographer. I think dance is the “killer app” of late what with the popularity of the award-winning show “So you think you can dance” and “Dancing with the (almost) stars.”

    It’s nice to see a university-degreed technical writer such as yourself balance you blog with with a link to our emotional, less tangible but equally effective way of communicating.

    That has to be one of the coolest things ever! Found myself doing the seated dance while watching. Unfortunatly I don’t think Sara would approve of doing that at our wedding.
