Sorry my recaps are taking so long. I asked a friend to help me splice and encode some video footage to accompany my posts but it is taking longer than expected, so I’ve decided to go ahead without them. Now, where did we leave off…?
I wonder if weddings ever go exactly as the bride imagined (I would say bride and groom, but let’s be realistic). I always thought I was a pretty ’laxed bride. I think I pretty much went with the flow for most things when it came to the wedding. That said, I gave my bridal party free reign over their entrance at the reception and this is what they came up with…
Never did I image that “Highway to the Danger Zone” would be the song that started off our reception or that my groomsmen would be introduced with code names…
The theme was an homage to the bachelor party they threw Mr. Lovebird. Mind you, they came up with everything themselves—the music, dance moves, and the coordination of the attire. I’m honestly surprised they all managed to bring the Top Gun shirts to Cancun considering two of them didn’t even have the proper outfits for the actual wedding!
First up, BM Bertina gets accosted “A Night at the Roxbury” style by GM Henry and GM Jon.

BM Michelle and GM Young did a sweet little dance number.
BM Elaine and GM George broke out in some wicked choreographed moves including the robot and the two-person arm wave.
GM Oliver decided to give BM Denise a spin in the danger zone in his Aviators.
And last, but not least, MOH Tina and BM Ernest top it off with some cabbage-patching and heel tapping.
Now, what did Top Gun have to do with our wedding, you ask? Absolutely nothing, but somehow it became a pseudo theme for our wedding and it was totally beyond my control. Funny how things work out, huh?
How are you planning on having the bridal party introduced at the wedding? Are you going to give them any guidance or leave it totally up to them? For those who are already married, how were they introduced?

Lately, I’ve had this overwhelming desire to use Justin Timberlake’s SexyBack as our reception introduction song. Our wedding party could totally work it 
That’s hilarious! Looks like they had fun, and kudos to you for being able to let them do their thaang!
That’s so funny! I love the Top Gun shirts and the Night at the Roxbury entrance!
That’s so funny! I love that they remembered the Top Gun shirts and not the wedding attire.
That’s awesome.
I want our wedding party to do something awesome, but I keep coming up with ideas that nobody in their right mind would go for. :p
LOL!!! That is HILARIOUS! I love the Night at The Roxbury attack on BM Bertina!
your bridesmaids and groomsmen are awesome! that looks like so much fun.
I was in a wedding and the bride was obsessed with Top Gun and they decided to have them and the bridal party enter to the danger zone. another bridesmaid’s husband is in the air force and we all borrowed some of his flight suits and helmet (shh.. dont tell the air force and wore them in over our dresses. it was really funny!
This is awesome!! Must have been a blast for the guests.
Looks like they had a ton of fun! I let our ladies chose the song they wanted to be introduced to - they ended up with The Spice Girls?!? I’ll never forget it, that’s for sure!
DH really wanted to do one of those “rock the Reception” type dances with us or have the whole bridal party do Thriller but since we’re all in different states coordinating that would have been difficult.
So we took the Chris Brown “Forever” showed our bridal party the YouTube Video and The Office episode and said, “Hey, what do you think of something along these lines?” So that’s what we did. The bridesmaids and I used the song in the limo to help “pump” us up while we were waiting to go into the church. And then afterwards, Each couple worked out what they would do while DH and I took our portraits and it was sooo much fun! DH worried that it was played out by the time of our wedding but I think the fact that people recognized it made it even better for our BP and our guests.
I love it! Its all about the party, good time and celebration afterwards!
That’s hilarious! You can tell how much fun everyone’s having.
So much fun! Looks like you had such a great group of people!
