Joyously lived.

Amen! I'll be skidding into Heaven with a martini in one hand and a smile on my well worn face when the time comes!

That was awesome! And now I am teary eyed...

Wow this made me really cry with joy. The song is also amazing. What is the name of the music?
I plan on doing something like thtt for my wedding...yeah.....thanks for putting this up

This is amazing! I'm sitting here absolutely bawling with happiness. These people really get it. I can only hope that someday my wedding will be just as amazing. Thank you so much for sharing- truly inspiring!

That was so cute! Totally made me cry! What a special way to celebrate a new beginning and an even more wonderful way to look at life. :)

OH My Gosh - I LOVED THAT - it totally brings JOY to my soul. What a way to live life !!!thank you for posting !!

I love that Cristina :). As it should be.

This is such an awesome video...I found it a few weeks ago and posted it on my Facebook Wall to give all of my friends a happy boost for the day. It totally made me want to redo my wedding day from 12 years ago and tap into my inner "I don't care what people think" attitude!

Yes, yes that is it exactly! When I saw this it made me cry tears of joy.

I had seen parts of the video before but with the quote and what you said it just got to me. Sitting here crying. Thanks Ali. It's going to be a great day!

What a way to start a marriage! I love that they did what they wanted on their terms. We had to fight a little to do what we wanted at our wedding. My husband-to-be and I walked down the aisle together instead of my father walking me; we got married in a library instead of a church (where we met); and I had no bridemaids. So many times weddings are tainted by bad memories of what others want your wedding to be and what the bride and groom want is lost. So glad these guys didn't let that happen to them.

WOW! I'm sitting here in tears, so moved by the joy their love shares with the world - awesome!!

I laughed and cried...so moving..the tangible sense of joy..

What an awesome idea! I don't think it disrespects the church it just shows how joyous the couple feels about getting married. I would have loved to have done this at my wedding.

Thank you for sharing this! It was wonderful! Made me laugh and feel good! Loved it!

I'd heard about this, but had not seen it yet. Thank you for posting it. I watched through tears of joy - wonderful!

That quote is well said!
My in-laws think we're "different" because we don't like going along with everything because everyone else does. We do things the way that suits us. It is okay to be different!

I had heard about this video but hadn't seen it. What a fun group of people!

I absolutely adored this too...I found it last week on another blog. I was hoping it would appeal to my daughter (16 now...) for the future but unfortunately she is too shy. I would certainly do it myself! I actually cried it was really so touching & beautiful. And indeed, why should we fear doing something "out of the ordinary" or against the conformity. I am the lady in the brightly-coloured sarong with the neon pink flip-flops & the smile in the mall...and I see so many WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY more beautiful than me...in stuffy clothing with worn expressions...because they look like they have allowed the burdens of life to sit heavily on their shoulders & not exercised the right to be happy in all circumstances ;-D

Thank you! This blog post made my day! How encouraging to just be yourself, how touching, how fun, how joyful!

i love that she entered to the line 'it's like i waited my whole life for tonight...'(something like that anyways...) so sweet...

I was married two weeks ago, and my priest mentioned this video in his sermon, pointing to the fact that so often, more preparation is put into the wedding day than the marriage. I had not yet seen the video at the time, and when I saw it two days after my wedding, I thought about what he said. While it was meant in good fun, I actually found it somewhat appalling. Though I loved the song, I thought that the dance moves set the wrong tone for such an occasion.

wow - thanks for posting this Ali, hadn't seen it before.
So truely joyful and happy. It gave me goosebumps all the while with a smile on my face.
Live your life they way you want to, not the way you're supposed to. How beautiful is it to see this in action.
