One of the many items on our plate concerns the introduction of ourselves and our wedding party at the reception. I never really thought about this until our engagement, but once I did, I realized it’s a subtle yet important moment. I’ve seen everything from no music to a band to the Venga Boys song from the Sex Flags commercial. Someone I work with attended a wedding where they entered to the theme music of professional wrestler Stone Cold Steve Austin. I think we want to make an entrance that has some character without being too over the top.
If anyone needs the greatest entrance ever I will be willing to assist in the choreography. The lights go down as the DJ begins playing the theme of the Michael Jordan led Chicago Bulls. The crowd starts hooting and hollering with excitement of what’s to come. Three moving spotlights appear on the ground and meet at the doorway to the explosion of fireworks as the announcer begins announcing the wedding party. “Starting at Power Groomsmen from The Ohio State University, Matthew Smith.” The guests pick up the pace by clapping in unison, throwing popcorn, and blowing air horns as the rest of the starters are announced and meet in the middle for the team handshake. We close out with a chorus of Rock and Roll, Part II(The Hey Song), a “Let’s Get Ready to Rumble,” and we’re ready to go. Oh and maybe we’ll use a zip line.
Unfortunately, we’ve used up our pyrotechnics budget for the year so we’ll be going a different route. At one point, I thought I’m Coming Out by Diana Ross would be kind of cool because it possesses a toe-tapping beat. It takes almost a minute, however, to get to anything of substance within the song not to mention the message doesn’t quite fit the occasion. For the moment I believe we’re leaning towards Love Train by the O’Jays because it’s a simple song with a fun rhythm I think everyone will be comfortable entering to. Hopefully, our party will have a good time with it and give a shake or two as they’re introduced to the wedding.
