I really want to do "A little help from my friends" - but not the original Beatles version, but the one from the Across the Universe soundtrack. I heart it!

I'm not positive since I haven't talked to any of my bridal party about it yet, or planned it out muc, but I have been thinking about doing something choreographed to 1234 by Feist, like at the beginning start like we are all going to just boring slow dance, then when it starts to pick up all the girls get spun at the same time and then it would go from there. I think it would be really fun for us and for the rest of the guests.

I always hated to do this when I was a BM,so for my wedding, we're doing something else: a dance off!

We are having three judges: my uncle (also the priest), and two other impartial people. We're not sure exactly who though.

We are getting my girlfriend to do a mix of popular songs and having the bridal party dance to them. Songs will be most likely the choruses, about 20 - 30 seconds long, and just fade into each other.

There will be a man and woman winner and they will receive a free round of golf and a $50 gift certificate to a spa or salon.

Some songs:

The Twist
YMCA
The Chicken Dance
Macarena

And to throw some culture in there...

The Red River Jog
some pow-wow music (to round dance to)

and then go onto some more modern ones...

a basic country two step (not sure which song yet)
Soldja Boy - Crank That (have to know that crazy dance)

And we will be ending on something by CCR/John Fogerty - so we can do the Beauval Shuffle.

There will be about 8 - 15 songs, and if you don't know the dance, off the floor. We are sending out the dance styles to the bridal party, so they know what's going to happen, and it is up to them to practice if they want to win. For the quests, it'll be a surprise. Kind of Canadian Idol style. That way, no one has to dance chest to chest with people they don't even know. It's a fun alternative.

Ours is going to be footloose. We plan on dragging guests onto the dance floor mid-song! I hope this will get the dance floor going :)

I don't think we are going to have a bridal party dance. I never liked it when I was a BM or MOH so I don't plan on making them do it. Instead, they can dance with their significant others!!

We used 'Little Wonders' by Rob Thomas.

Loved the idea that we had little moments with all members of our BP and wanted to 'pay tribute' to that.

We are doing a combination because we are doing a fun and not so crazy one. We are starting out with "Find out who your friends are" by Tracey Lawrence, Tim McGraw, and Kenny Chesney, then Bestman will say "This sucks" We'll all stop and look at him, and then the "Jump On it will start - transition to Ice Ice Baby into Get the party started.
My bridal party wanted to do something fun, the girls are country the guys are not at all. Also before the Bouquet toss, my girls and I will dance to I knew the bride when she use to rock and roll.

For our wedding we played first a slow song "Cant u feel the love tonight" from Elton John then right after a fast one "Dont stop till you get enough" from Michael Jackson for our wedding party dance... at my sisters she is actually goin to do something a lil different and also have a sybling dance. She figured we all dont often get to dance with one another, so were dancing to My Wish by Rascal Flatts. It will be she will dance with one of our brothers while I dance with the other then half way we'll switch. Along side the groom and his only sister will also dance together. Hope this helps

there's a thread on this somewhere I just posted on it yesterday a

anyways, we are using Drift Away - Doby Gray and Uncle Kracker. It is suiting for us and our friends

ETA - this is the verse that did it for me because when we were in high school we always hung out and played the guitars and sang (and drank :P)

And when my mind is free
You know a melody can move me
And when I'm feelin' blue
The guitar's comin' through to soothe me
Thanks for the joy that you've given me
I want you to know I believe in your song
Rhythm and rhyme and harmony
You help me along makin' me strong
