Wedding Dance Videos Some people waltz at their first wedding. Some two-step. Others perform Thriller, maybe a little Michael Jackson. Or Dirty Dancing. Or breakdance. Or, my favorite, Ok Go.

And maybe our fearless leader can explain what happened at the altar in this New Zealand wedding.

  • That was a treat. Thanks for the gumball Mickey.
  • The Ok Go one was awesome, but it made me sad because I now realize that the students who did that dance for the UCSF Comp Bio talent competition didn't make it up themselves. Now I feel less bad that they didn't win.
  • Thanks, Mickey! That was fun. Friends of mine danced to Movin' Right Along from the Muppet Movie. Surprisingly apt for a wedding. I once dated a girl who thought that Dirty Dancing was the best movie ever made. A lot more whipped, and the man in that link could have been me...
  • There was a show on TLC or something called something like "Wild Weddings." Anyway, I was on it sometime last year or the year before. TLC paid me a couple hundred bucks or something to use the footage.
  • The breakdance is hilarious! For a first dance! I predict a fun relationship for those two.
  • Oh, that kiwi one is great. A nice way to fill in that awkward signing-the-registry time. I laughed, I cried. We went to a wedding last November at which bride and groom did the Dirty Dancing (Time of My Life) dance and lipsynced the words. It was very cute.
  • Fantastic post Mickey!
  • There is a link on the front page of cnn.com right now to a video of lots of inmates dancing to Thriller. As marriage and prison are often used interchangeably, I thought I would mention it here. I would even link to it, but I am way too lazy. Plus, there is always the chance some generous monkey will put the link here.
  • That video is the reason I found a wedding party doing Thriller. From there, it was just a goldmine of more wedding dances. I considered linking the prison one, and didn't. But it is worth checking out. Lazy bernockle, here's your link.
  • Oh, man. NEVER enable bernockle.
  • I'm glad I clicked on those, because feeling just a bit more like a dried up spinster is EXACTLY what I needed today.
  • That "Thriller" video is both amazing and disturbing.
