Wedding Recap: SHOUT

Without a doubt, my all-time favorite wedding song is SHOUT. It has literally played at every single wedding I have been to over the past 3 years and it's always the best crowd-pleaser! I was super excited when our band started to play it.
I'm not really sure when, or how, it started...but one time years ago at a wedding during the "a little bit softer now...a little bit softer now"  part when everyone gets down real low...I just never stopped and ended up sprawled out on the dance floor with my friends huddled around me. Ever since then....it's just what I do at weddings.
At Kerry's OWN wedding when SHOUT came on, she interrupted the conversation she was in the middle of because she "Had to go see Laura's dance" .....it's that good ;)
I requested SHOUT to our Band...but the end of the night was nearing and they still hadn't played it...which got some of my friends nervous. Luckily, my friend Ashley marched right on up to them and requested they play it next.

A little bit softer now...
a little bit softer now....
The band kept it going for waayyy longer than normal....
and going....
Time to get back up!
And then, in a surprising twist ending, I somehow ended up into a rousing rendition of trenches with my friend James!
I was hesitant to post the video...mostly because most of it is just me awkwardly dancing, but this was such a fun moment of the wedding, I think I shall make an exception. This was near the end of the night when all our closest friends were on the dance floor dancing like crazy for the last half hour. Be sure to check out my mom dancing her butt off with all the "youngin's" in the pink dress in the back!

For your viewing pleasure:
 
By far....One of my TOP 5 moments from the day!

So many things about that particular dance that are hysterical! You dancing and laying on the floor which I got to witness for the first time:) Chris trying to put his hands on your waist cuzz he just doesn't know what to do but you are never still long enough for his hand to really rest there for very long. You conducting the band and the crowd at the end of the song. You and James doing the trenches (or whatever it's called). That dance is emblazened in my mind! I would like to point out that I did try to dance my butt off but as you can see from the video it clearly is still attached to me! ;)

Haha! This looks like SO much fun! Shout was a MUST at our wedding too. I think it went on for 9 minutes, it was forever & the dance floor was PACKED. What a great memory.
