Much, much respect for the length of it, since most couples usually last only 1-2 minutes (my wedding was no exception), and even more so because swing is a lot more physically taxing than your usual wedding waltz. Very very nice

God I hate weddings.

"Look at us, we're the center of attention! Give us gift-cards! Buy clothes you'll never wear again! Lavish us with praise for finding another human being to cohabitate with!"

Good dancing though. Narcissists.

But seriously, I am married, and my wedding was a justice-of-the-peace affair with a couple friends as witnesses.

However, I've been forced to attend 2 weddings this year, both of the "second marriage" variety, and I've become very cynical of the entire ritual. "First marriage" weddings are bad enough (because most people have this unrealistic idea that the wedding is the hard part, and that the actual "being married" part will be easy in comparison), but being forced to pretend that we're celebrating some magical event, when everyone there recalls the failures of the previous attempt... it's just so much bullshit.

Actually I'm not a fan of marriage but I am a fan of weddings...actually, more like a fan of the receptions...actually the open bar.

If i didn't know any better I'd say all the cheering and screaming was added post-production.

upvote for wardrobe accident

After re-watching the video, and re-reading my comment, I realize that it comes off as way -t00- cynical. They look like they're having a lot of fun together, and that's probably a good sign for their marriage.

SSSSSSMOOOOKIN'!

If I could find a girl with legs like that, I'd marry her too.

She'd have to be ok with your remote control fetish.

Best First dance?

I upvote, but you must have forgotten this.

I was expecting a lot more lifts than that. Two pretty weak ones at that. Obviously they were having fun, but step it up a notch! You clearly took some lessons for a while. Throw some shorts on under your dress and flip around a bit!

I like this one.

That chick looks so alive and fun. The girl I've been banging (she won't have a "relationship" with me) is such a goddamn wet blanket by comparison.

The impressive thing is that the bride had the dance moves down so well that she could focus most of her attention on her wardrobe. I guess this is why they have dress rehearsals.

Perhaps if you didn't describe women as 'the girl I've been banging' then you might find someone a bit more fun.

Unless you live in a glass house.

Yes, then you must gently carry them from place to place.
