Reception Entrance Song

So, two main points about this post. First, I learned how to embed youtube videos, which I am really excited about. It's super easy (or else there would be no youtube video in this post!). If you're interested in learning how, this site breaks it down pretty easily. I think it is safe to say that there will be several more youtube videos in future posts.

Second, I was looking for inspiration for songs we could have our DJ play when we enter the reception tent, and I found this clip:



The DJ introduces each pair of the wedding party and then plays a song as they walk/dance/strut out, do a little dance or something in front of the crowd, and then line up as the next couple is introduced, and so on, until the bride and groom are finally introduced.

This particular "entrance" was laden with several Star Wars references, which made me think of Steve, of course. I also really like the idea of introducing each of our wonderful friends to the rest of our guests.

Even though it is a little cheesy and drawn-out (almost 10 minutes!), I would really enjoy watching this kind of grand entrance if I were a guest at a wedding. But if I were in the wedding party, I would most likely die of embarrassment! Having to "dance" into a reception alone--with hundreds of people watching--could be one of my greatest fears. I am the kind of person who only enjoys dancing after several drinks, preferably in the middle of a large crowd of less talented dancers.

Would you enjoy watching this kind of entrance? Would you enjoy being part of this entrance? Which song would you want the DJ to play for you?
