Bridal Party Introductions
We've seen them done a hundred different ways. Here are some that stand out in their creativity, originality, production, or just because they were lots of fun:
1) Everything was carried out in the accustomed manner, well-staged, whole room erupting on cue with cheers and applause, no one in sight before their names were called, but also unique in that the Bride and Groom selected the music from "Rocky" as the wedding party's intro music, AND, when the two of them entered the room, they were wearing these ENORMOUS gag sun glasses. No one knew about it except for the DJ and them. Their idea! The result was, on top of the normal excitement and standing ovation on their entrance, looking the way they did, the wedding guests also laughed a lot.
2) Here's one that would probably take the cake—anywhere: Both bride and groom were professional entertainers. They needed to have a small stage (just a couple of risers, big enough for the two of them) set up on the far side of the dance floor, opposite the DJ and also opposite the doors from which they entered. On the stage they needed two cordless microphones on stands. The bride and groom were the only ones to be introduced. As the DJ announced their names, they burst through the doors during the introduction of the Karaoke version of "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" by Elton John and Keke Dee. When they reached the stage, on the run mind you, they grabbed the mikes, faced each other, and began singing and acting out an expressively funny rendition of the song! (Groom: "Don't go breaking my heart!" Bride: "I won't go breaking your heart!" etc.) It brought down the house!
3) This one was elaborate AND comical: Both Bride and Groom taught in the same school, she Math, he Phys. Ed. She stood about 5'2" and he about 6'5". His groomsmen were all from his college basketball team, plus his brother, ALL over 6'4" tall! The bridesmaids, were ALL real short. Their plans were to be introduced like a basketball team. A special script was composed containing comical information about each member of the "Wedding Team." This was read sports-announcer-style right before each team member was introduced. As they entered the reception hall, they formed two columns facing each other on the dance floor—the short bridesmaids on one side facing their tall groomsmen counterpart. The bridesmaids each carried and waved around yellow and red cheerleader pom-poms. The music played was "Get Ready 4 This" by 2 Unlimited. During and after each member's introduction, the wedding guests laughed, applauded, and cheered. The Bride and Groom were introduced as Co-captains of the Wedding Team and ran in between the columns formed by their "team mates" ending up at the front of the dance floor where the DJ segued into their first dance. The whole spectacle was illumined with red and yellow par cans (the wedding colors). Lots of fun and very cool!
4) As everyone made a lot of noise to greet them, to the accompaniment of some "Old School Funk", the wedding party, including both sets of parents, faced off in two columns. (The first to be introduced were the last ones to enter.) When the two columns were in position, the DJ introduced the first pair (Bride's parents) who proceeded to soul train down the line. Each pair were introduced in turn, dancing their way between the columns with what was actually a pretty impressive combination of dance moves. Of course, as the Bride and Groom were announced and as they appeared on the scene, their rhythmic stroll between the two still dancing rows of bridesmaids, groomsmen, and parents was acknowledged with the loudest cheers of encouragement and applause. This was a very well-rehearsed and creative introduction to the festivities ahead.
