Bride and Groom forced to have their ‘first dance’ on a highway in the middle of traffic!


Bride and Groom forced to have their ‘first dance’ on a highway in the middle of traffic!

As if weddings weren’t stressful enough already, Jeff and Rebecca Payne were forced to have their first dance in the middle of a highway due to bad traffic!

On the way to their reception venue last Saturday, Jeff and Rebecca of Centerville, Ohio, were delayed due to a five-car accident shut down for over two hours! (N.B: One person was taken to the hospital, and no serious injuries were reported.)

Rather than let this get them down though, the hopeful pair decided to make lemonade and took the stressful situation and turned it on its head, deciding to dance and raise their spirits. The smiling couple can be seen to be dancing to “When You Say Nothing At All” on the radio in the video below by their videographer Levi Curby:

We’ll try and remember to be as calm and collected the next time we’re at a wedding and witness a blow-out.
