Hilarious groomsmen dance at Texas wedding goes viral


A North Texas photographer’s “split-second decision” to turn on her video camera has proven fruitful online.

Miranda Marrs, a photographer based in Gainesville, Texas, recorded a surprise groomsmen dance at wedding in McKinney on July 9. That video has since gone viral, racking up over 20 million views. Yes, 20 million views.

Hunter Heinrich choreographed a dance for him and his six groomsmen. And his bride, Lexi, didn’t see it coming.

“The DJ pretended to be setting up a newlywed game to pass the time, and the bride was completely taken off guard and had no idea what was going on,” Marrs wrote on her Facebook page.

Heinrich said he looked at other wedding dance videos for inspiration.

“I tried to wrap it all together with some of my own ideas,” he told the Huffington Post. “The main thing we wanted was for Lexi to feel special and, of course, lots of humor.”

The dancing groomsmen get major props for pulling together some hilarious moves. But the viral sensation was made possible with the help of Mike McCandless from SoundMasters DJ Entertainment, who worked with the group on their special wedding gift.
