Dancing down the aisle

The wild dance down the aisle of JK wedding dance entrance (even more wacky than the moment a reporter proposed to Tom Brady wearing a wedding dress.) So here are two wedding entrance songs -- now and then. Why both? Frankly, I am a traditionalist. I believe that marriage is a solemn occasion. But perhaps two young people with this much joy in their hearts and with the ability to have this much fun starting off their life together are setting the stage for happily and laughingly ever after.

When I write about meeting and marrying the love of your life, it is generally from the perspective of falling in love, finding love, and identifying qualities in a perfect husband. This week three of us at the Examiner wrote on this topic simultaneously. (See links after the video). Some of you may remember a piece I wrote about Love and Laughter a few weeks ago.

Jill and Kevin Heinz decided to shake things up a bit, literally, for the usually traditional walk down the aisle. The Heinzes, led by their enthusiastic wedding party, threw on some hip hop and boogied their way through a St. Paul Minn. church on June 20. Now a video of their dancing wedding party entrance is an Internet sensation, pulling in more than 1.4 million hits on YouTube.

Youtube Wedding Dance

Epic wedding dance brings YouTube fame It began like every first dance at a wedding – the bride and groom swaying gently to a ballad as guests looked on fondly. But then this couple's dance took a hilarious turn, as they busted killer moves in a six-minute musical medley of epic proportions.

Brian and Katie started jiving to Elvis Presley, doing the twist and dancing to songs from throughout the years, all the way to Eminem and OutKast. In a neat twist, the loved-up pair, whose routine has been watched nearly 7million times on YouTube, finish with the ballad played at the beginning of their performance. The latest YouTube sensation is a video of a wedding party literally partying down the aisle of a church in St. Paul, Minn.

Starting with ushers tossing programs into the air like confetti, the seven bridesmaids and five groomsmen groove down the aisle, then part as the groom, 28-year-old Kevin Heinz, somersaults toward the altar. Finally, bride Jill Peterson struts in to Chris Brown's "Forever," shaking her hips and pumping her bridal bouquet into the air.

Maria Rosaria Carfagna

Maria Rosaria Carfagna is an Italian politician and former showgirl. After obtaining a degree in law, Carfagna worked for several years on Italian television shows and as a model. She later entered politics and was elected to the Chamber of Deputies for Forza Italia party in 2006. On May 8, 2008, Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi appointed her Minister for Equal Opportunity, a move that received international attention due to her background and her appearance.

Encabezaron la delegación las "anfitrionas" designadas por el gobierno italiano Mara Carfagna, ministra para la Equidad de Oportunidades y María Stella Gelmini, ministra de Educación. A cada una de ellas el Papa le regaló un rosario. Del grupo no formaron parte las esposas de los líderes que verán durante estos días al Papa: Taro Aso (Japón), Kevin Rudd (Australia), Lee Myung-bak (Corea del Sur), Barack Obama (Estados Unidos) y Stephen Harper (Canadá).

Al finalizar la audiencia con el obispo de Roma las "primeras damas" fueron acompañadas en una visita guiada por los Jardines Vaticanos donde pudieron admirar una réplica de la gruta de la Virgen de Lourdes y la antigua torre de la Radio Vaticana. Después se trasladaron a la Basílica de San Pedro a la cual ingresaron por la Puerta de la Oración. Allí recorrieron los altares de la Cátedra, donde concluyeron su itinerario.
