Jill & Kevin's Wedding Video

Isn’t it funny how a home-made video or video clip can go viral on the internet in such a short amount of time? In this case, Jill & Kevin’s wedding ceremony video did just that! I’m sure you’ve seen the video of the two, along side their bridesmaids and groomsmen, dancing down the center isle of their church to Chris Browns “Forever” song. What’s even more funny about this video is that since it became a YouTube sensation, others from around the world began re-acting the video.

I’m not sure what it was about this video that made it so special… I think people are drawn to things that they’ve never experienced before. In this case, the world had never seen a group dance down the isle during their wedding to a rapper’s song.

A few years back, I put together a video for my advertising class as part of our “YouTube Assignment.” I compiled videos from all across YouTube that all re-acted the legendary wedding; Jill & Kevin’s Wedding Dance. I hope you find it just as fun as I thought it was!

And by the way… I got an A!

    I find the whole aspect of sharing life's most private moments with the world strange and fascinating--like when women are tweeting from the delivery room as their child is born. The other day I read an article about a couple who stopped their wedding ceremony--the bride pulled out her phone and accepted her new husband's relationship update of "Married."

    As for the Jill and Kevin wedding...you know you've gone viral when "The Office" uses your viral video in an episode (Here's a clip).
