Who says entertaining guests at a wedding has to cost an arm and a leg? A lot of brides, grooms, and wedding parties are lacing up their own dance shoes for reception performances. And if you’ve been paying attention to YouTube, you probably know there are tons of amazing ones out there.
Even more than saving money, having the bride or groom involved in the entertainment makes it personalized and fun. I mean, talk about something you’d never forget!
A group of cowboys took the dance floor at the Miller-Matthew wedding to give everyone a show.
While they may look like they could be hired entertainers, they’re not. It’s the groom and his groomsmen, of course!
Little did guests know they’d cooked up a special performance that involved a biographical film from the 1990s, which starred a Beverly Hills 90210 castmember. Any guesses?

The cowboys had decided to recreate a classic dance from the movie 8 Seconds.
Perhaps you remember, 8 Seconds is about the late champion bull rider, Lane Frost, and tells the story of his life, career, and tragic passing.
During the film, there’s a scene that features a memorable wedding “dance-off” to the song “When Will I Be Loved.” It takes place between Frost and his best friend (played by Luke Perry (R.I.P) and Stephen Baldwin), who are both wearing their cowboy hats.
These guys have been practicing.
In the video, the groom and his buddies light up the dance floor with the epic dance. The guests cheer as the cowboys stomp, kick, and move in unison to the country tune. With how good they are, surely they spent time preparing for the performance!
One viewer commented:
“This is awesome I really wanna do this at my wedding I’d be nervous as hell usually takes about 5-6 cold ones to start moving like that.”
Get ready to tap along.
On top of the dance being awesome, the music is too. Phil Everly (of The Everly Brothers) wrote “When Will I Be Loved.” However, it’s Vince Gill and Karla Bonoff’s version in the background. Makes sense because it was also part of the 8 Seconds soundtrack.
Best of all, it looks like they’re having a lot of fun.
Dancing is one of those activities that’s good for the mind, body, and soul. Then add in your buddies, an energetic routine, and a kickin’ song? It’s no wonder why people decide to do these types of dances at weddings!
Didn’t have time to plan a choreographed dance? No problem.
If you’re looking to get everyone involved in a reception dance, there are certain songs that have routines most know.
The Wedding Secret Magazine compiled a list of the “Top 10 Wedding Songs With Dance Routines” – and on it were classics like “Macarena,” “Let’s Twist Again,” and “YMCA.” Now those are songs that would get guests boogying.
Their 8 Seconds performance went viral.
In the video description, it says:
“8 Seconds Dance from the groom and groomsmen at the Miller-Mathew Wedding. We modeled our dance after the video uploaded by username TheNameBeithBrad.”
Since Austin Miller uploaded the video to YouTube it’s been watched more than 329K times. Most people can’t say that about one of their wedding videos!
