Not only is it a Chris Brown track, but it's a Doublemint Gum commercial track.

Carollani on July 23, 2009 at 10:13 AM

I was skeptical and jaded at first but I have to say, it made me cry like a dork. Love should be celebrated in every way possible. The joy here is irrefutable.

on July 23, 2009 at 10:13 AM

It's not joy, REP, it's Jack Daniels.

CommonKnowledge on July 23, 2009 at 10:27 AM

Wow, it is true, white people can't dance.

But very sweet and funny.

boxofbirds on July 23, 2009 at 10:28 AM

life is not your blog.

embarrassing for all involved.

on July 23, 2009 at 10:32 AM

My god, there's a whole epidemic of this on YouTube... "Funny" first dances and ridiculous entrances. Y'know, do whatever the hell you want for your wedding. But I reserve the right to ridicule your silliness.

on July 23, 2009 at 10:33 AM

Lucky girl. The groom's pretty cute.

Bauhaus I on July 23, 2009 at 10:37 AM

i always try to be hard-hearted when it comes to these stupid things, but they always make me cry.

it's just so silly and cute. embarrassing sure, but totally fun!

ingopixel on July 23, 2009 at 10:40 AM

I too was prepared to hate this video, but their infectious joy was sweet and endearing. And yet part of me still wants to see them mowed down by machine gun fire. There is probably a word in German for the emotion I am feeling right now.

@9: Even if there isn't, you could make one up and sound really smart dropping it in conversation.

This is another one of those polls where I want to pick "all of the above."

Greg on July 23, 2009 at 10:53 AM

I thought it was fucking awesome.

schmacky on July 23, 2009 at 10:55 AM

Both hilarious and excruciating-like an episode of the The Office.

beelzebufo on July 23, 2009 at 10:56 AM

As much fun to watch as that Japanese girl yesterday meeting Harry Potter!! Best wishes to all involved.

Timmytee on July 23, 2009 at 10:59 AM

I'm sure there was some serious pitting out once they got up to the altar.

But, unlike most weddings, this was original. I would've liked it even better if they did some sort of Bollywood mass-choreographed number with everyone at the front.

Mahtli69 on July 23, 2009 at 11:15 AM

Oh, totally dorky, but yes, very sweet. Your wedding is not a time for irony, you know? And they weren't -- they all looked like they were having so much fun.

arts&letters on July 23, 2009 at 11:21 AM

That was amazing, except the music choice.

But now I'm depressed.

Kat on July 23, 2009 at 11:38 AM

Auto-tune has no place in house of God.

And that was less funky than the average black funeral.

But hey, it was fun. Good for them for doing something different.

Wicked Virgin on July 23, 2009 at 11:58 AM

This couple had great friends. I love this ;D

J-Haxx on July 23, 2009 at 12:09 PM

i liked it when the two nerds came down

on July 23, 2009 at 12:27 PM

i suspect that will not age well....time will tell

Andy_Squirrel on July 23, 2009 at 12:28 PM

Something old something new, something autotuned...

it's both exuberant and embarassing. good for them, but I'd like to see a black couple do the same type of thing to Jummy Buffet in the interest of cross-cultural parity.

PS- Reverends will put up with this but not gay marriages? hmm.

Hegemony Cricket on July 23, 2009 at 12:32 PM

Goddamn it.
first the harry potter thing yesturday and now this.

I am losing my curmudeon-liness right and left from reading the Slog... perhaps I should switch to Faux news for a bit to get rid of this happy feeling.

Womyn2me on July 23, 2009 at 12:49 PM

Someday there will be a gay marriage version of this, but with much better choreography.

Mittens Schrodinger on July 23, 2009 at 1:47 PM

That video made me cry

StillNon on July 23, 2009 at 2:18 PM

Fun - too long - the slow-mo stuff toward the end was dumb - I would have changed the music for the bride to make it more special for her - overall a success.

I can legally act as the "officiant" at weddings and have done quite a few. I'll keep this in mind when they ask me for suggestions.

Jaymz on July 23, 2009 at 3:41 PM

I too am in the "I wanted to hate it but it ended up making my day" camp. If I ever get married I'd want it to be as happy as this.

Most weddings I go to lately seem to be a chore, something two people in love have to do. These people made it fun, so good for them.

Matt Hickey on July 23, 2009 at 4:14 PM

I want to get married and do fanciful things that cannot be questioned because it is my wedding day gahdammit!!

Parker Todd on July 23, 2009 at 5:07 PM

good for them.

Partly Cloudy on July 23, 2009 at 5:34 PM

That was pretty great. Damn. So fun and happy... I would so much rather see that at a wedding than another "love is patient" blah blah blah cookie cutter ceremony.

Julie in Eugene on July 23, 2009 at 7:01 PM

THATS WHAT LIFE IS ALL ABOUT...LIVE IT UP, LAUGH, AND HAVE A BLAST...AWESOME VIDEO. WE SHOULD ALL HAVE THAT MUCH FUN!!! BEST OF LUCK TO YOU BOTH :)

PITA2MLB on July 24, 2009 at 5:11 AM

Once again, Hetero's ruining the Sanctity of Marriage all on their own

ScottnDC on July 24, 2009 at 6:21 AM

All you haters need to realize that it is yourselves that you really hate and I pity the rest of your miserable, meaningless existence.

steakhaus on July 24, 2009 at 8:32 AM

I absolutely adore this. People are way too caught up in the traditions associated with weddings, and as a result you end up with something you've already seen a dozen times in your life. Totally forgettable. The only thing I would change is the song. It will probably seem very dated in the future. I say pick something classic... other than that, beautiful.
