For many couples, the first dance is one of the most significant moments of their wedding day.
It can be a beautiful moment of synchronicity and intimacy for all their loved ones to witness.
For many others, it’s just one of the highlights of the reception, a lighthearted boogie to get the party going.
For one couple in Northern Nigeria, however, a first dance was never on the cards – but their hired DJ had other ideas.
In a viral video, the groom is seen refusing to dance at his own wedding, and issues a stern warning to the DJ for forcing him into doing so.
The excruciating clip shows the happy couple walking down the aisle, surrounded by dozens of loved ones.
As the smiling couple, immaculately dressed in their wedding garments, walk slowly towards their seats, the DJ thinks it is the perfect time to start talking into his blaring microphone.
He suggests that the couple dance to the music that’s playing, a suggestion which the groom sternly turns down.
But the DJ insists, and at this point the bride begins to look uncomfortable as she is caught between continuing to stand around and just getting on with a dance.
But her husband-to-be stands his ground, and then gives the MC a stern telling off, even unleashing a finger wag.
If you ask us, the MC didn’t need to go and make a song and dance about it!
