Bridesmaids stand in front of groom and flank the bride for a well-laid routine
I love how clean their moves are. The way the bride steps out of her comfort zone is adorable. 😍

A wedding is a ceremony that’s usually serene. However, it doesn’t necessarily mean the word “fun” is excluded from such an occasion.

It consists of a bride and a groom, the loving families of both parties, and of course, their friends who are usually the groomsmen and bridesmaids.

And we’ve seen a lot of viral videos of the bride or groom dancing.

But for most parts, it’s either the groomsmen or bridesmaids who steal the show for a short while.

The “First Dance”

According to chillisauce.com“Wedding dances date all the way back to 16th-century European royalty. Guests would honour their newlywed king and queen by gliding across the ballroom, as the couple sat and politely watched. It was a tradition full of pomp and ceremony, reserved solely for the aristocracy.”

Eventually, wedding dances evolved and started to involve the bride and groom.

But this dance is all bout the bride and her bridesmaids.

Tina Ackles from Killeen, Texas, tied the knot at the Safety Harbor Resort in Tampa Bay, Florida with her husband, following a 12-year courtship.

Tina has been a member of the American Business Women’s Association (ABWA) since 1999.

Inspired by her ABWA sisters’ desire to be bridesmaids, Tina invited each through an ABWA chat, which they gladly accepted.

The wedding theme aligned with ABWA’s colors, showcasing black dresses with red accessories and a white carnation, symbolizing the ABWA.

A whopping 168 bridesmaids, including Tina’s sister, cousins, and niece, participated alongside 180 other attendees.

Tina initially hadn’t planned for such a large bridal party but saw it as an opportunity to highlight ABWA’s impact.

Although logistics proved challenging for documenting the record, Tina and her enthusiastic bridesmaids succeeded, celebrating post-wedding with dinner, drinks, and social media shares.

Holding a Guinness World Records title was an unexpected delight for Tina, who cherishes the overwhelming love and support from her community.

These bridesmaids stole the show!

In what looks like a party at a certain wedding reception, a group of ever-supportive bridesmaids alongside the bride herself prepared something not just for the groom but for everyone else.

The video starts with the clueless groom comfortably seated in the middle of the venue.

Then seconds later, the bride and her cool bridesmaids began gathering together.

As soon as the music started, all of the ladies began busting off their choreographed moves.

Although some of them were a little shy at first, the group ended up entertaining everyone present that special day.

The bride and her bridesmaids grooved to some all-time dance classics.
