Ask a Question
Karaoke @ reception

Before anyone gags at the tackiness of this question, let me explain...

The venue where we are getting married at has karaoke every Sunday night. Somehow, I became famous for my rendition of Madonna's, "Like a Virgin". I'm not a very good singer, but lets just say there was a bit of crawling and table top dancing....Anywho, I always get a request to do the song everytime I am there.

Because the reception is coming before the ceremony, we are going to keep with the "backwards" theme and do a "Last Dance" before becoming MR&MRS. This will be what traditional weddings would call the "first dance"...so it will be a nice meaningful song (maybe "Could Not Ask for More" by Edwin McCain)

However, after midnight, we want to have our fiirst dance as husband and wife, but because everyone will be in party mode, we dont want to bore them....we want to do a choreographed surprise first dance (see link to Chip and Deanna's 1st dance on youtube)

(here's where the karaoke comes in....sorry for the run around) I want to finish the "surprise" dance with my "like a virgin" performance. After all...I am in a wedding dress just like Madonna was for the mTV Music Awards.

We are thinking that by that time older, pruder guests will have left, as well as guests with small children....Do you think it is appropriate or inappropriate?

sounds like a fun idea to me. I think tho you will kinda just have to suss it out on the night tho! because i have known some of the guests usually leave at 11, you may have your coreography and it may not feel right to do the song after.

Its original tho!

I love how unusual this is, really sounds like a lotta fun, and if you think your guests will get it, then definitely do it. I've never read your blog before and I'm intrigued about your backwards wedding, so I'm gonna have a look at your other posts and suss it out!

I think it will be fun, but karaoke is a longstanding pastime in my culture lol. I don't think it's tacky, I think it's amazing and YOU!

I think that the idea is great and that your guests will love it. If it's a song that you always do, so it makes it special and personalized despite the lyrics :).

ccrane...i should mention that our ceremony will be right before midnight...we are getting married on New Years Eve and want to say I DO right at the stroke of midnight...so we're pretty sure our guests (unsure about my 86 yr old grandmother) will still be around..lol
