Dancing down the aisle... only cool in the office??

I think it’s eye rollingly tacky. If I was in your party and you asked me to do that I would decline. I think there’s plenty of time for fun but this part should have some dignity. Just my opinion by me. PS - I’d also roll my eyes if I was just an attendee. Not enough alcohol for this shite.

I think it seems a bit much. I know I just wanted to get down the isle.

I think it could be fun if it was planned right....I saw a video on youtube where they started dancing SUPER far away and it took them forever to get to their spots and got a little ridiculous lol. Maybe you could have them act like they're walking in like normal (with normal wedding music) and then the music stops, and a fun dance song comes on and they dance the rest of the way in?

I would ask your bridal party on their thoughts though....I wouldn't be comfortable dancing like that in front of people I don't know. Don't push them to do it if they are unsure, because it will be awkward dancing for your video.

I think it depends on the vibe of your wedding and what feeling you want to get out of it. personally, i was so overcome with emotion while walking down the aisle, taking in the faces of all our friends and family, enjoying the moment with my parents by my side and all our best friends in front of me--it was pretty magical and something i'll remember the rest of my life. if you add too much orchestration and choreography to your ceremony you risk missing out on being present in the moment.

Man, I love the Office, but I could not stop cringing during that scene.

Here's a couple of things to consider:

1.) Would all of your WP members be comfortable doing this? If this is something you really want to do, I would speak with each WP members to get their thoughts. If one person wouldn't be comfortable doing this during the ceremony, I would drop it.

2.) Even if everyone isn't dancing down the aisle, you can still use an upbeat song or one that isn't instrumental for you and your BP to process and recess down and up the aisle. Our BP walked down to Ben E. King's "Stand By Me" and we used Stevie Wonder's "Signed, Sealed, Delivered I'm Yours" for the recessional. We may not have danced, but it set the mood for a fun wedding where everyone was on the dance floor all night.

3.) It might be more comfortable for your WP and guests if you play a song your WP can dance to as the enter the reception during introductions.

Yeah thanks seems like the answer is a no for this one haha. There really isn't a tasteful way to do it, maybe for the reception entrance.

I was recently in a wedding and at the rehearsal we walked normally and then a few minutes before the wedding the bridge asked us to walk down the aisle... I for one was not amused with the last minute addition and think if that is the plan that it needs to be discussed and expectations set. It isn't my cup of tea but if it fits the crowd, the bride and the bridal party, why not.

My brother and sister-in-law did it, and everyone seemed to love it. It really expressed what kind of people they are, and showed more personality. She also had her 3 year old son walk her down the aisle and he got really shy, which was also enteraining. I say you do you

I would be way to embarrassed to do this if someone asked it of me! I would probably bow out of being in the wedding party.

I would bow out of a wedding if I was asked to do this.

It gives me second hand embarrassment to watch stuff like this.

I think if your group has this fun loving vibe it could be pulled off and be very entertaining. My mother on the other hand would def have an issue with it and so would FMIL.

One important rule of wedding planning- You don't have to do everything you see on tv or Pinterest, in particular reality shows.

I'd slip it. Maybe dance on the way out instead?

While it is ultimately your decision, I, as a bridesmaid, would say no to betting in the wedding. I don't dance, I don't like attention, so definitely make sure all your bridal party is okay with it. As a guest, I would find it a bit ridiculous.

I feel like it would be fun for about the first two minutes, then get awkward and a little boring tbh

Like other said if the whole wedding party isn't into it, I'd drop it.

If your WP is full of fun people that truly enjoy being in the spotlight and can over-the-top dance and not just raise the roof awkwardly, then I think it can be good. But if even a single person is uncomfortable or a bad dancer or doesn't participate by dancing over-the-top and just kind of mom dances awkwardly, then it's ruined.

The potential for disaster is way too high--someone's going to trip, aisles are often narrow, people don't always sit nicely in their seats, etc. Dancing into the reception is a bit easier.

My bridesmaids would have punched me in the cooter if i asked them to dance down the aisle. I think it's super tacky.

I think you choose to do it you should also walk down to something nontraditional because doing half fun half serious would be kind of awkward but this a fun idea. My parents and their wedding party walked down to funk music lol. It's your wedding have fun with it.

My uncle and his wife did this and it turned out amazing. You should do it.
