This has been all over the press in the UK today.

Who are these people? Is this a show or something? Deanna is confused but amused.

That is one of my favorite movies - these guys rock

It's someone's wedding video! Their first dance. Apparently the girl made her fiance take dance lessons so they could do this on the wedding day.

DD is one of my all time fave movies!

Found this online:

Wedding flowers? Check. Caterers? Check. DJ and band? Check. Our perfectly rehearsed wedding dance routine to Dirty Dancing? Erm...Check!

Most first dances by newly-weds are barely watchable as the happy couple awkwardly shuffle around the dance floor.

But at this wedding, the dance was almost worth selling tickets for as the two faultlessly re-enacted the 'Time Of My Life' routine from the movie Dirty Dancing.

Fleet-footed London couple Julia Boggio, 32 and 33-year-old James Derbyshire were perfectly choreographed as they put Johnny Castle and Frances 'Baby' Houseman in the shade with their moves.

'I was more nervous about the dancing than about my speech,' said James.

'I had to learn to dance. It took me six months worth of lessons!"

The couple, who had a movie themed wedding at Fonmon Castle in Wales, even came down the aisle to the theme tune from Raiders of the Lost Arc.

They should know a thing or two about producing a work of art as James owns a film production company and Julia, originally from New Jersey, is a wedding photographer.

The video, which was posted on YouTube, has been watched by more than 1,000 viewers but so far is not generating the same favourable response shown by the whooping wedding guests.

'I watched this and threw up,' said one viewer, who posted a comment.

'Absolutely cringeworthy. Words fail me,' said another.

Speaking of which...two of my best friends are getting married this summer, and they've been together for about 15 years now, so they don't really see it as a BIG, big thing, they merely want to have fun. So, they ordered us all to come as a dead celebrity.

My sister is going as Marilyn Monroe and I'm going as Janis Joplin.
