WTF are you talking about? And why are you posting this here?

At the reception, after the bride and groom have their dance, they then have the wedding party [groomsmen and bridesmaids] dance together. I'm posting it here because its a topic and they can be interesting to discuss.

I've only seen it done once and that was at my sister's wedding 12 years ago. I was in the wedding party and it was really awkward to do let alone having to watch it.

That's alright, this is the internet and i'm not here to be anyone's best friend. I wasn't rude or insulting to anybody by posting. It was however just a post that can easily be passed over.

KD+BC · May 2010

I've seen it and I think it's dumb and awkward. I will not be doing that to my friends.

jeanacorina · May 2010

We're not making our friends dance with perfect strangers. Or each other's siblings. So.... no. Way too awkward.

MissOnnaleese · May 2010

BF was in a wedding we attended yesterday. He was pretty upset they made him do this, and it was extremely awkward for me to watch. When I mentioned I was uncomfortable with it, everyone at my table gawked at me like I was a crazy person. I thought it must have been a common occurance i'm glad to see others find it weird also.

Why were you uncomfortable with it?

I think they are weird and unnecessary.

ekathleen684 · May 2010

BF had to do this at a friends wedding. It was all around awkward.

hetshup · May 2010

It's odd, I would advise against it. If they want to dance together they will, maybe all grindy to pony by genuiwine. Ohhhh yeah.

MissOnnaleese · May 2010

I was uncomfortable with it because it was an awkward moment, it was slow dancing which is not something I want to watch my s/o do with somebody else. Just all in all a weird moment that's all.

Ride it my pony! My sadle's waiting. Come and jump on it!

I take it back, I'm totally making my friends dance to that in front of my grandparents!

PaigeMcC · May 2010

LOL @KD

As for this dancing thing...I've never heard of it. And my opinion of it is that it's silly.

tafft1 · May 2010

I have heard of it and a big fat NO this will NOT happen at our wedding. It just feels weird to me in general and feel it puts undue stress on those you have asked to come as well.

99.9% LAME

I saw ONE cool one (and my FI was dancing with another girl, and I still thought it was cool). The bride and groom had an 18 piece swing band play the whole reception, and the bridal party and friends had taken swing dance lessons together. So the 20 person bridal party all treated us to their new talents.

SeleenaJuliet · May 2010

This is only a good idea if everyone wants to do it. My sister made me do it at her wedding and I HATED it!!!!!!!!!!!! I didn't even know the guy, I didn't want his hands on me. I hated the time we spent choreographing it. The song she picked was dumb "Wifey" by Next. It was uber awkward and by far the worst 3.5 minutes for me at the wedding. Ask the people involved if they want to do it. If they say no... then scrap the idea.

bajediva · May 2010

Hahahahahaha, once or twice when my girlfriends annoy or tease me about something, I've joked that I'll make them do a dance at my wedding. I don't see how this could possibly enhance any ceremony or reception unless group dance is already some part of everyone's lives. I think anything that's included in a wedding should be a reflection of who the couple and families naturally are. If it's imposed, it'll be awkward, and that goes for things other than choreographed dances as well.

TuffysMommie · May 2010

I'm not against it for "comfort" reasons - two people can dance together and it won't necessarily be awkward. I really wouldn't mind if SO did one slow dance at a wedding with another girl (with no "Pony" grinding, obviously).

However, I think the idea of a "wedding party" dance is a bit outdated.
