Musical Monday: Marry You (Bruno Mars)


  Okay, so...I'm writing a wedding story. So everything is about weddings right now. In fact, there are times when I forget that the people whose wedding I'm planning are not real. And also: no, I will not be able to attend said wedding. 

Anyway, I think this video is of the very first flash mob wedding proposal ever. Or, at least, ONE OF the first. I may have watched it many, many times when it first came out. 

The couple is still together, AFAIK. The woman in the red dress choreographed the whole thing. The gay couple are shown wearing (cheap, fake, plastic) leis because, at the time, Hawaii was one of the few (possibly the only) state where gay marriage was legal. I'm still not sure how I feel about the lyric "dancing juice" having been misinterpreted/re-imagined as "dancing jews".  I believe the family is jewish, and it gives them a chance to get in on the act, but it's a grammar thing. If I could convince myself that Bruno Mars was singing "these" instead of "this" I'd be a lot happier. 

But, even all these years later, it's still just the cutest thing!
