Oh man, I loved the robot one. When I get married, I am so doing something like that. Not what they did, but not just the standard dance either. Something at least choreographed.

Can you imagine signing up to be a member of the wedding party…and then receiving your schedule for mandatory dance lessons? Screw that.

I don’t have to imagine. I was recently in a wedding and we had to practice “The Hustle” for about 6 months prior. I missed a few practices and was (jokingly?) told that I was almost “Out of The Wedding”. Seriously?!

It turned out to be a really fun thing to do. I’m glad we did it.

If I ever get married again my and my groomsmen will do the last scene from The Full Monty.

[This looks like fun](http://www.naturalsciences.org/education/Ecuador/2006/pages/dancing%20blue-footed%20booby.html), but you’d have to make sure all the shoes were dyed the right color.
