To some people, being romantic
means being subtle and subdue while others think being romantic means showing
the world your love and compassion for someone special. The world has many different takes on being a
romantic and everyone has their own opinion as to what is and isn’t romantic. As much as I hate to admit, I am a huge romantic. I love to watch movies that tug at the heart
strings but also involve a chase.
Although, I am not a typical romantic.
My favorite moments are those that are creative and irresistible such as
the featured wedding clip above. The
video shown above is my all-time favorite you-tube video. It is the wedding entrance for Pam and Jim
that occurred in our very own St. Paul Minnesota. I have watched this video over and over
numerous times and each time sends chills down my spine and places a huge smile
to my face.
The wedding starts out like a
typical wedding with the announcement to take your seats and the ceremony will
begin shortly. To everyone’s surprise,
music begins playing and groomsmen and bridesmaids begin dancing up and down
the aisles. The music played is Forever
by Chris Brown. How fitting!!! The couple wants to be together ‘forever’!!
Every girls dream is to find the ‘perfect’ guy and fall in love that lasts ‘forever’. This is explained in movies as well. Romanticism in movies is often viewed as a
dream for those in reality. In the movies, everything always turns out ‘perfect’. This is ‘perfectly’ unrealistic for many
viewers. Movies portray a fantasy
lifestyle that is out of reach of real life.
If you have not seen this video you must
watch. After all of the bridesmaids and
groomsmen have traveled down the aisle a few times they all proceed down the
aisle together. This is when the groom
does a summersault into view and they all travel to the alter where the priest waits. The music shifts to slow motion and so do all
of the ‘performers’. When the music
resumes, it’s time for the bride to make her entrance. While gracefully dancing down the aisle in
her white dress the groom meets her halfway and they approach the alter
together as the music fades.
This
video helps to show that the typical church wedding ceremony can be sculpted
into a magical moment with memories that will last a lifetime. Weddings are viewed as the sacred celebration
of joining two people in holy matrimony.
They are typically quiet with little interruption before the ending “I
Do’s”. This wedding defies all standards
set in place as provides the audience with a creative versus ideal situation. This video helps to show that having a
wedding is not the main concern of marriage.
Marriage is the joining of two people who are happy and in love. This wedding specifically shows the
personalities of both partners and expresses their love for each other in the
way they see fit. They are not going to
be just another ordinary couple; they want to make themselves stand out from
the crowd. This was accomplished because
not only was this wedding a hit to those witnessing it but to those across the
country. This video was featured on news
stations and in Pam and Jims wedding on the show The Office. This helps construct a path for new
beginnings and new ‘standards’ for old traditions such as weddings.
