First dance to Elvis gets a heavy beat drop

The hosts announce the first dance. In a garden courtyard, the bride and groom face each other, bow, and wait for a slow Elvis song to begin. more

The song is "Can't Help Falling in Love," about as sweet as a first-dance song gets. They dance it like a spoof, and both of them pull goofy faces through the dips and spins. It's a joke, but a well-rehearsed one, and every move lands on time.

The guests cheer at each spin, and the couple laughs right along with them. Then a heavy beat crashes into the middle of the ballad. The two of them act shocked, which fools no one, and snap straight into fast, sharp moves that hit every beat.

Just as fast, the slow song slips back in, and they melt into each other's arms. From there the music won't settle. It flips between Elvis and the heavy beat again and again, and they flip with it, from a sweet sway to hard hits and back.

Partway through, the two of them smile and wave, then go right back to it. The detail people keep pointing out is the dress. She does all of this in her wedding gown, and through every spin and dip, neither of them steps on the hem.

Midway through the dance, the newlyweds smile and wave.

The last few seconds pile up their hardest moves, and the crowd cheers through each one. Then they end it the old-fashioned way, with a kiss, while their guests clap.
