Is it a must for a wedding? No.
Are there more fun, memorable things to do and songs to dance to? Yes.
There are great songs that people love to party, dance and sing along to. This could be one of them.
I always like to say: “Who made the rule that…” And this applies here. Who made the rule you MUST play the YMCA? No one.
Who made the rule that you can’t. Certainly not the Knot.
Have fun.
