Turns out the couple was invited to do the same dance-routine on the Ellen show. And since "The Ellen Show" is probably synonymous with "unoriginal and pandering for more attention" (zing!), I'm forced to agree with mpb. Also, a "rule" that couples need a choreographed dance number at their weddings?! A thousand Josh Groban songs and slow dances to "God Bless the Broken Road" rise up with me to disagree with THAT idea. A buddy of mine (who’s getting married next week) showed this to me.

The bustle and tight sleeves on my gown would've been prohibitive of a cool number like that. (Note: my reception did have dinner and dancing and was loads of fun -- and I'm LDS and living in Utah. It can be done!) Tell you what, you need to have a dress like hers if you want to pull that off. The bustle and tight sleeves on my gown would’ve been prohibitive of a cool number like that.
