Alright, so here’s the deal on the whole groomsmen and bridesmaid entrance thing we did for my buddy’s wedding. It was a bit of a wild ride, so buckle up.
First off, we had to figure out the music. You know, that grand entrance song that sets the tone. We didn’t want anything too cheesy or overdone. We bounced around a bunch of ideas, from classic rock anthems to some funky modern beats. We even toyed with the idea of using something instrumental, like that Canon in D thing everyone uses, or even the classic Wedding March. But that felt a little too formal for our crew.
We spent a good few days just listening to different tracks. We made a playlist, listened to it on repeat, and argued about which songs were “entrance-worthy.” It was a whole thing. Finally, we decided we wanted a mix. Something old, something new, you know? Keep it interesting.
Then came the choreography. Oh boy. None of us are professional dancers, let me tell you. We tried to keep it simple, but also wanted to have a bit of fun with it. We practiced in my buddy’s living room, which was probably a sight to see. A bunch of grown men attempting to coordinate their moves? Yeah, it was as awkward as it sounds. We did not have a choreographer so we decided on the following.
Here’s the breakdown:
- Groomsmen: They walked in first, two by two. We decided on a simple, but the confident walk.
- Bridesmaids: Their entrance was a bit more elaborate. They came in one by one, each doing a little twirl or a unique move as they walked down the aisle.
- The Finale: This was the tricky part. We had everyone meet in the middle, do a quick high-five or a fist bump, and then walk together to their spots. It took a few tries, but we eventually got the timing right.
On the day of, we were all pretty nervous. We hid in the back, going over the steps one last time. The music started, and it was showtime. The groomsmen nailed their entrance, I gotta say. They looked sharp and walked with this cool swagger that I didn’t even know they had in them.
The bridesmaids were amazing. Each one brought their own personality to their little solo moment, and the crowd loved it. It was fun, it was lively, and it set a great mood for the rest of the ceremony.
The finale, where we all came together, was a bit chaotic, but in a good way. We managed to pull off our little high-five/fist bump routine without anyone tripping or crashing into each other. It was a relief, to be honest. We then took our places, and the ceremony began.
Looking back, it was a lot of work, but totally worth it. It was a memorable way to kick off the wedding, and it really reflected the fun, laid-back vibe of the couple. Plus, we got some pretty epic photos and videos out of it. It wasn’t perfect, but it was us. And that’s all that really matters, right?
