This brings new meaning to “Wedding Crashers”

Wow, you are so off base with the “jagoff” comment. Please see this Washington Post column for a different, more on-point take of the reference wedding:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/07/24/AR2009072403199.html
“We all know what we’re supposed to do at weddings: Look on politely as a matchy-matchy parade of friends makes its slooooow way down the aisle to Pachelbel’s Canon in D. Try not to giggle. Rise for the bride.
But, by dancing their entrances and sending that upbeat, physical energy right back out to their guests, the Peterson-Heinz wedding turns the rote behaviors into spontaneous reactions. Of course the guests watch attentively as the wedding party bobs in. You can bet not a single child had to be shushed at that point. This was no longer a display of bad posture and dyed-to-match pumps — it was an uplifting swell of celebration with a beat. The bride — unescorted, we note; so independent! — was and wasn’t the center of attention. The true focus was on the unified, wordless but palpable emotions of her whole support system.
…This procession explodes a lot of assumptions: that church weddings are square and Minnesotans are squarer, that shaking booties and solemn vows don’t go together.
…More important, this ceremony went deeper than behaviors. It elicited all the right feelings, in the way that good dancing transfers energy and emotion to its audience. In the way they moved — and were able to corral their friends and family into the act — the couple told us a lot about themselves, and about their bond.
This didn’t look like a reluctant groom being dragged to the altar, nor a micromanaging bridezilla who had locked down every detail. They were open to music and movement and untucked shirts and sweat, and they gave to their guests what had to be the best party favor of all. An actual party.”
In addition, the couple “are asking their fans to support an organization that works to end domestic violence…’Due to the circumstances surrounding the song in our wedding video, we have chosen the Sheila Wellstone Institute’ which — according to its own Web site — works to end violence against women and children.”

Yeah I don’t the jagoff comment either. I hate weddings and that would have been fun to watch. That said I’d hate to be in a bridal party where they made me do a dance.

oh the noes! i certainly wouldn’t want to disagree with such great journalistic insight as “reluctant groom dragged to the altar/micromanaging bridezilla”. i think the author of that piece probably wrote it on his blackberry whilst dropping anchor.
+1 for thinking this video is painfully contrived to be an internet meme more than anything.

Alright, fair enough: Where you guys see Wily Midwesterners Upsetting The Dominant Paradigm Of Modern Marriage, I simply see a bunch of sweaty regs treating the solemn union of man and woman like it’s Friday night at Brownie’s.
Tomato/tohmahtoe, really.

“the solemn union of man and woman”…really? Thanks for your input, Sen. Santorum.

Man and man or woman and woman is just as solemn. Mind the heat wave, Chuck. It could make monkeys out of all of us. Dancing monkeys. In tuxedos.

At least they picked a great song to dance down the aisle to.
Nothing says I love you like auto-tuned vocals.
If you don’t thing they are jagoffs I can only assume Dancin with the Stars is in your DVR que.

i wonder what those square things are in his thigh area?

@jjay…you have a pretty low threshold for tagging someone a jagoff if picking the wrong song or watching the wrong show gets it done. Way to go. You must be so cool.
