This video is the worst thing to happen to weddings since the Chicken Dance


By now, I'm sure you've seen this video. Hell, 10 million people on YouTube already have, surely you're one of them.

And I watched it once, and then twice. I liked it better the second time around, then it started grating on me. It wasn't because of the idea, or the execution. It was because, at 24, I'm probably going to have to sit through (or be forced to participate in) two or three of these over the next decade.

I'll give it to Jill and Kevin: you are creative. The 1000s of couples in the next 10 years will not be so.

Someone will try to choreograph a dance to MC Hammer's "Too Legit to Quit," someone's grandmother will pass out from the excitement, and I will be forced to give her CPR.

Meanwhile, two months later, another creative couple will craft their aisle do-si-do to Rihanna's "Disturbia," will forget that she says "shit" in the song, and will subsequently get thrown out of their chapel.

Maybe I'm just a curmudgeon (is there an age minimum to be pronounced one of those? 60? 75? 24?), but next time, Jill and Kevin, just keep it to yourself.

P.S.- Kevin? Well done. She's cute.

  1. Surprised you didn't go for the low-hanging fruit here, but I'm not too proud:

    You know a marriage is built to last when the bride & groom agree to set the mood with a song commissioned by a chewing gum company and performed by a woman beater. That is how you spell LURV in 2009.
