A priest officiating a wedding ceremony in Ireland, with a few quick comments, had everyone in attendance roaring with laughter.

Weddings are special, memorable and life-changing occasions. They are beautiful ceremonies in which two people, in front of friends, family and God, vow to remain together forever, through thick and thin. Despite the often-serious nature of wedding ceremonies, that doesn’t mean there can’t be some laughs along the way.

In fact, as a video posted on social media shows, one priest in Ireland brought the bride, groom and everyone in the church to laughter. His light-hearted and self-deprecating comments were absolutely hysterical!

The short, 37-second video on Facebook begins with the bride and groom near the front of the stage. The priest, apparently having already gone through the vows and the ceremony, makes his way down the platform. However, there is some confusion present.

Soon after the video begins, as the priest walks down the platform, the bride asks the Catholic priest a question.

“Do we do our kiss? First kiss? First kiss?” she asks.

The priest apparently had forgotten to tell the newly wedded couple to kiss as husband and wife. It sounded like he was in the process of announcing the couple as husband and wife to the congregation when the bride got his attention.

Laughter is heard throughout the church as the priest recognizes his mistake. But then he steps to the microphone, giving the church even more reason to laugh.

“You don’t expect a note back about a note to remember something like that,” the priest confesses to the congregation. 

Everyone, including the bride and groom, is sent into a fit of laughter. 

But he still hasn’t answered the bride’s question. They both stand near the priest looking on, waiting for his OK to lock lips. 

“Go on, do what ya have to do,” the priest tells the bride and groom.

The entire room, once again, breaks out into laughter as the groom raises his wife’s veil and plants one on her.

Proverbs 17:22 “A glad heart makes a healthy body, but a crushed spirit makes the bones dry."

People in a London office building were treated to an unexpected and choreographed dance routine involving a pair of security guards.

Most people enjoy a good surprise every now and then. Whether it be someone bringing in donuts for the entire office, hitting all green lights on the way to work or something else, how the morning begins can have a major impact on the rest of the day. It helps to set the tone for the workday. On the other hand, a not-so-good surprise can have a detrimental effect on the rest of the day. 

Fortunately, a handful of Londoners received the good kind of surprise in the form of an energetic, up-tempo and high-octane choreographed dance number. 

In a clip posted on YouTube, people, in what appears to be a brand-new structure, attend the opening ceremony of Trade Desk’s new London office, according to the video. 

Two men, dressed like security guards, unfurl a white, elongated piece of ribbon to a smattering of laughter. The laughs go on for a few more seconds when one of the two men says, “We can make this a little more exciting for ya.” 

He immediately breaks into dance as the Beatles’ “Come Together” plays. Seconds later, the other gentleman wearing a security guard uniform joins in on the fun, strutting his stuff for the appreciative crowd.

The song quickly changes to a hit from the Bee Gees and even more people join in, showing their fancy and well-timed moves. 

Music changes several times and a few more people hop in and dance with the group throughout the nearly 6-minute clip. But before the clip ends, a woman with an oversized pair of scissors eventually cuts the ribbon, officially opening the office building.

It's safe to say that the people who attended the office's opening ceremony had a better day than anticipated. Who doesn’t enjoy a little flash mob dance routine to start the day? 

Psalm 150:4 “Give him praise with instruments of brass and in the dance: give him praise with horns and corded instruments.”

Beautiful words

Former NBA player Shaquille O’Neal, a member of the Basketball Hall of Fame, greeted a family in Home Depot and surprised them by agreeing to pay for their washer and dryer.

A seemingly insignificant and unexpected act of kindness can go a long way in changing someone’s day, week, life and entire outlook. What one person may see as small, such as holding the door, can have massive ramifications, bringing about change for good. 

A short, 50-second video posted on Twitter shows former Los Angeles Laker Shaquille O’Neal performing a random act of kindness for a family shopping in Home Depot. 

The video shows the 7-footer walking through the store as he approaches two women, who calmly greet Shaq.

“Nice to meet you,” one of the women says as she shakes the NBA legend’s hand.

Shaq responds by asking them what items they are purchasing in the store. 

“We are buying the washer and dryer,” one of the two women tells Shaq.

Shaq states in a calm and matter-of-fact manner, “I’m gonna pay for it.”

The women cannot believe what they have just heard, that Shaq will be picking up the tab for their new household appliances. 

“Really! Oh, my God!” one of the women reacts.

They can’t contain their excitement at Shaq’s kind act and begin screaming and yelling in joy. There are smiles all around as Shaq gives both women hugs.

One woman exclaims, “Bless you, bless you, bless you” as she takes a selfie with Shaquille.

The video ends with the women with a Home Depot employee, selecting their preferred washer and dryer.

What a kind and generous act from a man who is known for doing such things for people. He recently bought a family with nine children a brand new 15-passenger van, according to GodUpdates.

Shaq may have scored thousands of points and won NBA titles during his playing career, but with his continued acts of kindness off the court, he’s changing lives and still gaining fans.

Ephesians 4:32 “And be kind to one another, full of pity, having forgiveness for one another, even as God in Christ had forgiveness for you.”

Many members of the cute, furry and four-legged community came together to help make one man’s milestone birthday a day he and his family will never forget.

As people get older, birthdays are occasions most like less and less. In fact, those are days on the calendar a good majority of people would like to skip over altogether. However, everything is always better with dogs, even days that remind us that we’re getting older.

A clip posted on YouTube mentions that one family in California took an unusual route when celebrating their father’s 100th birthday. They threw the man a dog parade! And the four-legged community and their two-legged owners responded in a big, big way.

Nearly 200 dogs joined in the surprise dog parade for Dr. Robert Moore. The video points out that Robert was overjoyed by the surprise lineup of dogs, petting every dog that came by to wish him a happy birthday.

Not only did Robert greet every member of the four-legged community by petting them, but he also knew every breed of dog he encountered!

One of Robert’s daughters, Vickie Mallon, was overjoyed by the turnout.

“This is probably the biggest thing that’s happened in our family that’s given us the most joy,” she said.

But the surprises did not stop with the seemingly endless line of dogs ready to meet and greet Robert on his big day. The clip points out that attendees brought “gifts, flowers, balloons and posters.” 

So, who were these people that came out and helped bring a smile to Robert’s face? They were total and complete strangers.

“They were mostly strangers. They were,” Alison Moore, Robert’s daughter said. “And it just, it makes you feel wonderful about your community that people would come out and do that for your dad that you love so much.”

Ephesians 4:32 “And be kind to one another, full of pity, having forgiveness for one another, even as God in Christ had forgiveness for you.”

Two talented dancers showed off their moves while performing as the iconic and beloved dolls Barbie and Ken.

Every person had a favorite toy as a child. Maybe it was the always-popular writing and drawing device Etch A Sketch. Perhaps the Slinky was the go-to object for fun and amusement. For those outdoor types, the toy of choice may have been the Radio Flyer red wagon or a Schwinn bicycle. 

However, if dolls or action figures were your favorites, you really had two main options: Barbie or the plastic green army men. Decades after the slender doll first hit store shelves, Mattel’s Barbie remains as popular as ever. It has even spawned a film starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling. 

In a clip posted to YouTube, two dancers – Alexander and Veronika Voskalchuk – performed a 4-and-a-half-minute routine as the iconic Barbie and Ken dolls. Their creative and inventive dance number gets underway on a hilarious note, even before the music begins.

Veronika, wearing a long, flowing and frilly pink dress, is carried out onto and placed on the dance floor. Her hands, legs and face are frozen in place, like the doll loved by many. Seconds later, Veronika is followed by her dance partner, Alexander, who also is carried out onto the floor. 

Then the music kicks in, which, of course, is the song “Barbie Girl” by Aqua. Veronika and Alexander move around and greet one another in a manner reminiscent of dolls with limited movement. 

The audience obviously loves the uproarious and inventive routine. They give the two dancers a rousing round of applause and cheers about a minute into their dance.

At approximately the 1:30-minute mark in the clip, the two dancers pour a magical, glitter-type substance on one another, which gives them their full range of motion. 

The rest of their dance number is a dazzling display of artistry, skill and creativity. The audience, at the end of their routine, once again, shows the two performers their appreciation with a hearty round of applause and cheers.

Psalm 30:11 “You have turned my mourning into dancing for me. You have removed my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness.”

Two immensely talented ice skaters – Olivia Smart and Adrian Diaz – practice their routine set to a classic tune from the late Tina Turner.

Ice skating is a sport with a high degree of difficulty and danger. Participants are rhythmically skating and moving about on a sheet of ice. They do this all while balancing themselves on a single sharp blade strapped to the bottom of each foot. But when done right, a figure skating routine is a breathtakingly beautiful sight.

In a clip posted on YouTube, Olivia and Adrian, who participated in the 2022 Winter Olympics together, skate to “Proud Mary.” Like the classic track from Tina, Olivia and Adrian’s routine is an upbeat, up-tempo and high-octane routine. 

Their routine is timed perfectly with the song. At the beginning of the track, both stand at center ice and snap along with the song’s beat before skating off together, basically dancing on the ice. 

They move back and forward along the ice with incredible speed, displaying their artistry, agility and athleticism. At one point, near the 30-second mark of the nearly 3-minute clip, Adrian actually picks up Olivia, moves her around his body, and then places her on the ice while they continue moving at a high speed and without ever missing a beat. 

When the song picks up, so do Olivia and Adrian!

They pick up the pace, incorporating even more dance moves and skating about in lockstep with one another. There isn’t a false step or a miscue by either one of them throughout the nearly 3-minute clip.

Their entire routine is simply beautiful and awe-inspiring. 

Tina Turner, who is known for other hits such as “What’s Love Got to Do with It,” The Best” and “We Don’t Need Another Hero” passed away in late May at the age of 83.

1 Corinthians 9:24 “Do you know that those who run a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run like that, that you may win.”

A pair of extraordinarily talented dancers showed off their awe-inspiring moves to a hit song from the late Tina Turner.

Like all art forms, dance is and can be used to do many different things. First, it can be performed strictly for entertainment purposes and enjoyment. Also, dance can convey several moods, thoughts and feelings. Dance can raise awareness of an issue, cause or topic. Additionally, as two dancers recently showed, dance may even pay tribute to someone who passed away.

Sondre and Tanya, who describe themselves as a “professional swing dance couple,” performed an impromptu boogie woogie dance routine, a tribute to the late iconic singer and performer Tina Turner. They strutted their stuff on the dance floor to what was arguably Tina’s biggest and most beloved song, “Proud Mary.”

In the clip posted on YouTube, the two skilled dancers begin, much like the song in the video, with an upbeat and frantic pace. They take the dance floor and go from zero to 100 instantly. 

If their fast-paced, quick-footed moves weren’t already impressive enough, the pair of dancers take it up a notch. At approximately the 50-second mark in the 3-minute clip, Sondre does a flip, literally sending himself head over heels. He then proceeds to do the always painful-looking splits three to four times.

Not to be outdone, the young woman in the clip, Tanya, also displays her acrobatic skills. Around the 1:30-minute mark, she also goes head over heels, landing in perfect form and without missing a beat. 

Their impressive dance routine is met with a thunderous and well-deserved round of applause from the onlookers spotted standing around the dance floor. 

This couple is obviously extremely talented and never ceases to amaze with their inspired and sure-footed dance routines.

Psalm 149:3 “Let them give praise to his name in the dance: let them make melody to him with instruments of brass and corded instruments of music.”

Christian Matrimony can bring great joy and fulfillment to both individuals involved, and it is often celebrated with elaborate ceremonies and traditions.Every user registered on Ark Matrimonial is verified via photo and mobile phone so you don’t have to worry how real or fake anyone is... Christian Matrimony is an important and sacred institution in many cultures, religions, and societies around the world.

Two gifted dancers showed their impressive moves during a wholly improvised dance number.

Dance, like anything else, takes hours and hours of dedicated practice to appear even slightly competent at it. Sure, anyone can go out on the dance floor and try a move. But the odds of looking like a complete and total amateur who has no idea what they are doing are fairly high, almost a certainty.

A video posted to YouTube shows two people who are anything but amateurs. In the clip, Sondre and Tanya, a “professional swing dance couple,” took to the floor and in an improvised boogie woogie dance, wowed an adoring crowd.

In the nearly 5-minute clip, the two talented dancers strut their stuff, moving rhythmically along to the music being sung and played by the band. Their moves are so in sync that they appear to glide across the dance floor as one. 

While the young man in the video obviously has a plethora of moves and tons of talent, it’s his female partner who steals the show. She moves rhythmically with relative ease, making it appear easy. Of course, anyone knows that is not the case at all.

At approximately the 24-second mark of the clip, the woman employs one of Michael Jackson’s patented dance moves – the Moonwalk. For a few seconds, she does actually look to be moving backward on a moving walkway. 

If that wasn’t impressive enough, the couple uses acrobatic moves in their dance number. After picking up his female partner, the man throws her toward the ground, sending her through his legs and sliding onto the floor. They use another acrobatic move to finish off their dance. The man flips the woman, head over heels, over his shoulder. 

The entire clip is a sight to behold for those who enjoy dance and for anyone who can’t even take a step without twisting an ankle. 

Psalm 149:3 “Let them praise his name in dance: let them sing praises to him with the tambourine and harp.”

Utilizing Jumbotrons, skywriting, ring-laced desserts, and lavish settings are splashy ways in which to pop the question, but watch as one boyfriend enlists his girlfriend’s 90-year-old grandma to help with a surprise proposal. He knocks it out of the park!

Meet Pontus Gitselov of Växjö, Sweden. He’s a 27-year-old credit analyst who met 27-year-old Chicago native and novelist Emma Noyes through a dating app in December 2021. The two were living in Los Angeles at the time, and their courtship began there. But, in time, they traveled to his home in Sweden and returned to Chicago to meet one another’s families.

Pontus formed a particular connection with Emma’s 90-year-old grandmother, affectionately called Gramsie, but known within Indiana political circles as Senator Virgina Blankenbaker, having served in the Indiana State Senate from 1981-1996. Pontus never met his grandparents, so he adopted Mrs. Blankenbaker as his own, saying, “She has a very big heart and is one of the kindest human beings I have ever met.”   

So, when Pontus wrote a poem for Gramsie on the occasion of her 90th birthday and asked Emma to record him reading it to her, it made complete sense. The family was on a celebratory trip to Dallas, and the video shows Pontus as he escorts Emma’s grandmother to a beautiful space on the grounds of the hotel where they stayed. Notice how spry and fit Mrs. Blankenbaker is!  

Pontus takes Gramsie’s hands into his own and reads the poem he’d written just for her, and Emma captures the moment for them to enjoy years into the future. Gramsie appears touched—she, too, had developed a love for Emma’s boyfriend. Then, without warning, Pontus turns his attention to Emma. 

He pulls a small box from his pocket and kneels down. Gramsie, unaware of this part of Pontus’s plan, clasps her hands together! She realizes what is taking place. It takes Emma a bit longer. She thought the whole scene was about her grandmother, but her clever, sweet boyfriend had a second surprise—this one, just for her!

The taping gets momentarily lost amidst frantic questions, laughter, and an embrace, but we get to see how this tender, loving proposal turns out! Emma is beyond thrilled. She’s got a ring, a bundle of flowers, a future with her “best friend,” and she got to share it all with her very special grandmother!

The couple is planning a July 2024 wedding, and one wonders if this story might just make its way into a future Emma Noyes novel! 

“Children’s children are a crown to the aged, and parents are the pride of their children.” Proverbs 17:6

No matter what we may be going through, The Lord promises us enough grace from the Throne Room of Heaven to get through. Thankfully we are never alone.

One of the most fundamental and significant cornerstones of Indian civilization is marriage. Indian weddings, in contrast to western societies, focus on the two people being married as well as their family, traditions, customs, rituals, and the mutual understanding of both families.

One man in South Carolina found a unique way to avoid getting stuck with a ticket during a traffic stop.

Getting pulled over is essentially a rite of passage for drivers. It’s something that will happen to most people at one time or another. Unfortunately, these occurrences can often result in an expensive ticket and handing over hard-earned money, which is something no one ever enjoys doing. 

However, a man of advanced age missed out on a ticket when he was pulled over one night. A video posted to YouTube of a traffic stop in Pickens, South Carolina, shows how the man used his impressive moves and fancy footwork to delight and amuse the officer on scene.

The situation started after the female officer pulled over the white pickup truck for failure to maintain a lane. But soon after initiating the stop, the officer noticed something odd. The elderly driver was wearing fancy footwear, usually used to make music. 

In the video, as the man is gathering his identification, his shoes make noise several times. The officer mentions that she hears it, to which the elderly guy asks her if she can dance. 

Seconds later, footage from the officer’s dash camera shows the two dancing right on the side of the road. The elderly suspect gives the officer a lesson during the traffic stop. 

Before the clip ends, the officer has a request for the man. She wants to see him perform some moves in his clogging shoes.

“Can you, can you do some dance with that?” the officer asks.

The elderly man fulfills her request and away he goes, strutting his stuff right on the side of the road. The officer, who is heard giggling, is thoroughly impressed. 

“That’s awesome!” she remarks.

The man was literally able to dance his way out of a ticket. He only received a warning for his traffic violation. 

Psalm 30:11 “You have turned my mourning into dancing for me. You have removed my sackcloth, and clothed me with gladness.”
