Lots of people’s wedding mishaps and hijinks end up on the Interwebs or on “America’s Funniest Home Videos.”

But when Twin Cities couple Kevin Heinz and Jill Peterson got married on June 20, they didn’t expect video of their wedding party’s unconventional boogie down the aisle to attract more than 1.6 million viewers on YouTube.

From the Minneapolis StarTribune:

“I danced growing up and was a dancer through college and loved dance as a way to express yourself and share joy. So, it was something I always thought about doing” [Peterson said].

Among the highlights was Heinz’s somersault entrance, which thrilled the guests, who clapped in unison throughout the five-minute performance. And Peterson, her gown traditional white, shook her hips while thrusting her bouquet in the air. One of the men in the wedding party walked on his hands, and most donned sunglasses for the indoor ceremony.

Heinz posted the video on YouTube on Sunday, and at this writing it’s been viewed more than 1.7 million times. The couple appeared on NBC’s “Today” show this morning, and they’ll return on Saturday — with the whole wedding party in tow — to re-create the dance live.

She should have had her father (or stand in) walk her down Willy Wonka entrance style and then break out into dance after his somersault.
