Okay, the chicken dance. I keep hearing people refer to the chicken dance as a wedding occasion, but I've never experienced and never seen it. I've only been to a few receptions that involved dancing, but even at those, no one ever did this.
I've also watched Four Weddings and a Funeral, and no chicken dance.
Is this a standard joke/threat (like the baby-eating thing), or does it really happen? And, will I get to watch Hatrackers doing this at Bobandana's wedding?

It definitely happens - you can see it in the opening wedding scenes of the Godfather. It's been at every east coast wedding I've ever been to.

May your first year of marriage bring you as close as our first year did, and may each year be exponentially better than the last. Slainte! *toasts with sparkling cider*

Oh, and we did it right after the Electric Slide and the Time Warp at my cousin's wedding (in CA).

Taal told me not to go see Meet the Fockers...
So the chicken dance is real. Attending a wedding = barnyard animal imitations. This is a bizarre culture.
Icky, I'd be delighted to dance with you. The chances of me imitating a chicken, however, are very, very low. In the spirit of odd dances and weddings, I can do the Macarena.

After a frantic day of organising yesterday, I think we are ready to go. Relatives have arrived from Sydney, Hong Kong, Spain, London and New Orleans. My dress has been altered. The flowers should have been picked up. Accomodation is sorted. The chicken dance has not been organised.
Time to enjoy.
I will post pictures when I can - probably not until late next week, but I'll get them up.
Have fun everyone - the next time I post will be as a married woman! Posts: 4393 | Registered: Aug 2003

Thanks everyone. ::checks to make sure Imogen is in the other room:: my suggestion for a pirate wedding was totally over-ruled, but I'll see if I can slip a chicken dance in there for y'all

And Katie, it depends on your sense of humor. I loved Meet the Fockers, it was way better than Meet the Parents. However, I would never, ever recommend it (or even say that I'd seen it) to my mother-in-law. As I said, it depends.

Sure Mayday! I don't know how well it will travel though...
Thank you all for your good wishes and congratulations. The evening was absolutely wonderful.
My dress was amazing, Tony looked fantastic and I even made him (sort of) cry when he saw me walking down the aisle. The priest was fantastic, the ceremony short and sweet but heart felt and everyone enjoyed the party.
All in all, wonderful.
Tony and I have spend the last day and a half admiring each others rings and calling each other 'husband' and 'wife' at every possible opportunity.
I need a blissful newlywed smilie. Posts: 4393 | Registered: Aug 2003
