Thank You, Jill and Kevin for Lighting Up Our Lives

I admit. I am one of those 6.5 million YouTube page viewers who watched Jill Peterson and Kevin Heinz wedding video. I watched it not once, not twice but over and over. I watched it on YouTube, The Today Show, and the evening news. I watched the wedding party dance on the Saturday Today Show. And I'll probably watch it again. I can't help it. The joy is contagious.

On June 20, 2009, Jill Peterson and Kevin Heinz went up the wedding aisle, not to the tune of Here Comes the Bride or Cannon in D but to the music of Forever by Chris Brown. But march they did not. Instead, the wedding party danced and boogied and somersaulted up to the altar, ushers, groomsmen, bridesmaids and of course, groom and bride. What a delight to watch, this couple who dared to be different and shared their joy with their guests and inadvertently the world wide web. I smiled, I laughed and I rocked.

It was so timely in a period of angst over the economy, lost jobs, wars and the passing of beloved icons. For a brief moment, the Heinz' allowed us to smile, laugh and feel the love of life and of each other that this couple shared. If this is a foreshadowing of their life together, it will be one of great fun and adventure. And thank you, Jill and Kevin, for allowing us this glimpse of fun and hope.

If you haven't seen it, watch it here. Watch it again and smile and dance.
