Customizing Tradition

Check out the video above. I discovered it on YouTube just now and had to smile. After watching it, I think you will too.

There are so many traditions we all play out in our lives. You gotta love it when someone has the imagination—and nerve—to put a special twist on a longstanding custom.

It’s especially fun to watch a mother and son find a way to connect in their own uniquely unforgettable way. Particularly when you realize they had to spend a significant amount of time choreographing, then practicing, their routine.

    What a great wedding reception clip — loved seeing something different. My whole life is full of “left turns” (as I call them) being married to an imaginative, fun guy. His proposal to me was the best — it was Sleepless in Seattle-style when we were at the top of the Empire State Building. We’d already been together a couple of years, built a house together, and combined our families from previous marriages, but he still wanted to propose to me and get married (after asking my Dad for my hand in marriage). May not be a new twist on things but it’s my romantic life. 🙂

    1. And it sounds like a great romantic life to have, Marion! Whether a new twist is involved or not, what’s done with love and brings joy is always the best way to go. Thanks so much for sharing your story! Jaycie

    My brother had a Spanish teacher that was married in a Star Wars theme, complete with fake light sabers. I thought that sounded like fun!

    1. That does sound like fun . . . and like he had a very understanding bride! Thanks for adding your comment! Jaycie
