I saw this wedding toast video on Facebook. It was so cute. Like, I cried and immediately hated all my friends.
But then, I didn’t really have a lot going on, and the kids were in bed, and I had some wine, and then the next thing I know, I’ve fallen down the rabbit hole into a youtube wedding video shame spiral.
Some of it was ugly. Bad quality. Poor choreography. And I get it, MARRY YOU LIKE ON GLEE OMG YOU GUYS HILARIOUS.
Some of it though, was adorable.
The Best. hands down, I loved this, I watched it ten times which says a lot because sometimes I don’t even remember Justin Bieber actually exists.
I didn’t have a Father-Daughter dance, but if I did, I’d like to think it’d go like this.
I love when a group of dudes that don’t look like they could dance at all, come together, and rock the fuck out of some Thriller.
Is it awkward that the groom is 7 ft tall? Not when he can drop it like it’s hot.
And the guys ALWAYS end up out dancing the girls. Every time.
And sometimes, greatness has absolutely NOTHING to do with the bride & groom.
We danced to Into the Mystic by Van Morrison, choreographed by the two bottles of champagne in the limo, and by limo I mean the back of our friend Mark’s Chrysler 300 because we forgot to book a limo. It was not recorded.
Single Ladies wins my heart and inmypants.
Still one of the greatest Father-Daughter Dances EVER! Link please….I lost it!
I spent Friday afternoon watching pregnancy announcements which somehow transitioned into surprise military homecomings.
I think the groomsmen are catching on to the fact they are more likely to get laid if they do these dances.
BEST POST EVER. The Single Ladies sent me over the edge of awesomeness.
Father daughter dance takes the cake for me… I wish my dad was that awesome.
In my pretend wedding – my pretend husband and I dance to Into the Mystic – great song – great pretend wedding. We are meant to be friends!
I’ll be man enough to admit that well choreographed wedding dancing gives me goosebumps! And several of these clips put goosebumps on top of the goosebumps. Something like this or being in a flashmob are on my bucket list. SOMEDAY!
Thanks for sharing!
OMG..the last one! Cannot wait for my girls (13 and 17) to get home from school to show em’ these videos! How cool are these people! Love it! (my friends are way boring…) :)
So cute. My father/daughter dance was to Johnny B. Goode because my dad & I used to dance to that when I was little. It was really fun & I wish we had a video!
My dad and I held my 3 year old niece for the vast majority of our dance. Which was fine, a little awkward, but the kid wanted to dance with grandpa! My husband and I laughed and had a conversation through our entire first dance, definitely no choreographing for us. It was nice because we didn’t pay attention to anything around us so we were like in our own little world but will likely look kinda funny on the video.
Now that I’ve spent the entire morning tearing up and laughing at those videos I feel like it’s the “responsible” thing to feed the dog and get to work…
So my husband and I were supposed to dance to the song “Crush” by Dave Matthews. It has nice lyrics like this: “…Lovely lady, I will treat you sweetly, adore you, I mean you crush me. Oh it’s times like these, when my faith I feel…With each moment, the more I love you…”
Instead, the DJ played “Crash Into Me” by Dave Matthews. It has lyrics like this: “Oh, come crash into me baby, and I come into you….Hike up your skirt a little more, show the world to me..In a boy’s dream…”
I spent my first wedding dance trying not to be mortified that my grandparents were watching me dance with my new husband while listening to Dave Matthews sing about his dirty porn dreams….
I’m a blubbering mess after watching the first video, so thanks for that!
And how much do I want to hang out with Ron? we can flash mob together!
To be fair, Bridesmaids dresses are near impossible to dance in. And, tuxes do have magical powers.
Of course this leads to multiple hours spent on youtube, after finding gems like these I don’t mind=) http://youtu.be/7yNdpaSBTzo
Thank you! I needed the laugh today. Love the first one with the wedding toast and of course the Justin Beiber tribute! Too funny!!!
Loved these! And now I’ve decided that Brent & Em should do their father/daughter dance to Apache, which was included in the father/daughter dance above, because that’s their fav home dance party song.
Note to self: Find friends who are in musical theater.
I love you. Not like, in a stalkerish way. But I do. I adore your posts. I’m cackling, simultaneously trying not to wake the baby and pay attention to a looooong conference call (WAHM FTW!).
Thank you!
My sister is getting married next year, and after this, I am BRIMMING with inspiration. (Which means I expect you might get a strongly worded hate mail from my sister at some point in the future.)
These are great. We did ours to the Twist Contest from Pulp Fiction. The video and sound is terrible on this recording but I still love to watch it anyway. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YuOw_6mPv78
Well, shit! Now I really do have to redo my wedding not only to include all the cool ideas on Pinerest but to do a kick ass awesome wedding dance.
I loved these! They were just what I needed today. That Justin Bieber dance gets me every time.
Horrible lighting but many years ago I was a bridesmaid and we did a dance at the reception… :)

So, I’m already having a week where I just really really miss my dad (he died 7 years ago when I was 15), and that father-daughter medley? Would TOTALLY have been my dad and I at my wedding.
*cue the zillion tears*
You do realize that you are the reason my house will remain uncleaned this weekend, right?? But also the reason I laughed, cried and smiled more this morning than I have in a long time, so thanks for that!!!!
You’ve probably already seen this, BUT-
Despite the bride’s lack of a bra, I loves.
