Check this out, Pinkies. This wedding party has major mojo and my vote for couple most likely to succeed. Isn't life beautiful when we let go of what others will think and Let Our Freak Flag Fly? Why do so many of us get stunted by propriety, expectation, and the wishes of others? I say, if you have the guts to put your mojo out there, MORE POWER TO YA! Thank you Sarah (@PaxofMind on Twitter) for turning me on to this great video clip! Mojo, indeed....this couple's got enough mojo to share with a whole wedding party.

Tell your sister I said Go
By Lissa Rankin on Saturday, 07/25/2009 at 4:53 AMTell your sister I said Go for it! (But only if it's her dream. Weddings should about whatever it takes to make your day magical, not peer pressure, expectation or what Great Aunt Josephine expects of you).
I forwarded this to my sister
By Malia (not verified) on Saturday, 07/25/2009 at 3:55 AMI forwarded this to my sister who is getting married in a couple of weeks and told her that if she wants me to do this at her wedding, I need to know now so that I can start practicing in my heels.
Do it, Pattie! Do it! Okay, I
By Lissa Rankin on Friday, 07/24/2009 at 4:28 AMDo it, Pattie! Do it! Okay, I hate peer pressure of any kind, so let me retract that. If your authentic self wants to dance down the aisle at your wedding, let it, regardless of your age or what people will think. Look at the audience in this video. Do you think they were thinking, "God, that's so flippant and irreverant?" Okay- well maybe blue blood Great Aunt Josephine was thinking that, but I saw everyone else clapping and laughing, I'll bet they were all inspired to let their own freak flags fly.
I love this, it put a smile
By Pattie (not verified) on Thursday, 07/23/2009 at 8:14 PMI love this, it put a smile on my face. Thank you so much for sharing this. I was watching it thinking, your wedding is your day to celebrate, why do we make the walk down the aisle such a somber and serious occasion? It should be fun and exciting. I then started thinking, I'm too old now to get away with doing such a thing. But now that I think about it, why am I too old? Who gets to decide only the young get to do that? When I get married I'm totally going to make my friends dance down the aisle with me!
Yup. Greatest thing I've ever
By Joy (not verified) on Thursday, 07/23/2009 at 7:11 PMYup. Greatest thing I've ever seen. Thank goodness for these people. I envy their children. Thank you for sharing! oxxo
Absolutely. Why do we all
By Lissa Rankin on Thursday, 07/23/2009 at 2:45 PMAbsolutely. Why do we all walk down the aisle the same way? Who out there is gonna get married. I dare you to walk down the aisle the way your HEART wants you to!
Truly a non-traditional
By Doug Simpson (not verified) on Thursday, 07/23/2009 at 2:42 PMTruly a non-traditional wedding-mojo was it? Someone has to break the mold I guess. Only the young ones do that best....::))
Imagine if we were to
By Lissa Rankin on Thursday, 07/23/2009 at 10:42 AMImagine if we were to approach traditions that don't resonate with who we really are in the same way... What if we were willing to bend the "rules" to make room for who we really are? What would that look like? It's inspiring to me...
That was so AWESOME!!!!
