Wedding Isle Dance Becomes A You Tube Hit
Updated : Jul 27, 2009
A wedding couple filmed dancing down the aisle have become an internet sensation after the video received six million YouTube hits.
The whole dance, performed to the tune of Chris Brown's 2008 song, Forever, lasts five minutes and takes most of the assembled guests by surprise.
The video clip, posted only one week ago, shows Kevin Heinz and Jill Peterson dancing energetically towards the altar, followed by their ushers, bridesmaids and groomsmen, reports the Daily Telegraph.
The groom, 28, performs a somersault on his way to the altar and his hip-swaying bride, also 28, receives a standing ovation as she joins him for the exchange of vows.
The video has already turned the couple, from St Paul, Minnesota, into celebrities with appearances on network television.
"I'm just glad I didn't hurt myself," Mr Heinz said of his somersault.
The success of the clip follows that of British couple James Derbyshire and Julia Boggio who re-enacted the 1987 Dirty Dancing scene between Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Gray on the dance floor at their reception.
The 2005 clip became so popular, with more than three million hits, that Swayze himself appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Show to meet the couple.
