(Newser) – A Minnesota couple's all-dancing wedding march has become a massive hit on YouTube, the Washington Post reports. Seven bridesmaids, five groomsmen, and four ushers strut their stuff down the aisle to the sounds of Chris Brown's "Forever" in front of delighted guests, followed by somersaulting groom Kevin Heinz and dancing bride Jill Peterson, who gets a standing ovation.

The happy couple, whose video has been viewed nearly 2 million times, say the routine only took one rehearsal to get right and they're amazed that it has become the wedding video of the year. "I think it was one of the first things we decided on when we got engaged. I had always wanted to dance down the aisle," Peterson tells local station WCCO.
