Question for you...

Knot Annie

Hey Knotties, So I think we’ve all seen Jill and Kevin’s wedding processional. There have been lots of chat on the boards about it, whether you love it or not, I want to know if you've seen anything like this at a wedding or plan on doing it at your wedding? It seems like we’ve went from a choreographed first dance to this. I’d love to hear what you’ve seen at weddings or receptions since this has become a trend. You can email me at ajones@theknot.com or post below. Thanks so much!Annie

I thought it was great! I had planned a choreographed first dance and this is making me think of something creative to do during the ceremony.

I've seen it a handful of times as the recessional. (When the B&G come back down the aisle as Mr. & Mrs.) But not as the processional.But to be honest...... although it was VERY cute... I thought it was kind of out of place for a church ceremony. I dunno... I guess I am old fashioned, but I feel like if you are getting married in a church, you should be dignified and respect the sacrament.

LOL @ Clairee. My first reaction?  They are definitely not in a Baptist church. LOL...(Baptists no likey dancing). Honestly, I think every couple should embrace their individuality before the wedding industry turns their wedding into a cookie cutter, butterfly-releasing, dollar dancing show of bland.

I personally did not care for it at all. I just feel like the actual wedding ceremony should be a bit more dignified. But anything can go at the reception, IMHO. If that’s what they wanted, then go ahead! But it’s not for me.  I agree with Claire- you should be dignified and respectful of the sacrament you are entering into. And I also agree with Molly, make your wedding your own not a “cookie cutter, butterfly-releasing, dollar dancing show of bland”.

I thought it was great.  I'd love something like this at my wedding, but I think all my bridesmaids would drop out because they would die from embarrassment if I asked them to do something like this.  However, they all looked like they were having fun in the video, and I think that's the most important thing.  Kudos to them for having a good time with their ceremony!

I thought it was funny. But, I guess I'm more conservative and would say it was out of place in a church. I also am not sure how creative or unique it is.  It's not a lot different from the choreographed dances at the reception. Feels like i have seen that 100 times. But maybe as a guest it would be original.

I LOVED IT. For them.  I would never in a million years do this because A: I agree that you should respect the sacrament in a church, and B: My mother and grandmother might never speak to me again.Also, my priest won't even let me do a unity candle because it isn't a religious symbol and has no place in the ceremony.  I can't imagine busting this out at the rehearsal.

Kate, I think you should shimmy down the aisle to "I like big butts and I cannot lie."

I like adding personality, and I am going pretty non-traditional in some aspects of my wedding. But, I thought the dancing down the aisle was tacky and immature. I know couples who have walked out to a special or fun song (Mrs. Robinson for a couple named Robinson), etc., but that online fiasco was a little over the top for my taste.
