There have been untold "hilarious" wedding dance videos that have gone viral. What we learn from the latest one is that men should never dance to Beyonce's "Single Ladies". Ever.

David and Hollie Smith said they wanted to do “something different” to entertain guests, and put together dances for a medley of hits - some including their bridesmaids, best man and ushers.

But it is Mr Smith’s take on the dance routine in Beyonce’s hit music video for ‘Single Ladies’, with two friends, which has made it a must-watch.

A video of the dance has been viewed more than 200,000 times since being published on YouTube on Sunday, dubiously entitled “best first dance ever”.

You can watch it all below. (Beyonce may want to stop watching at the 2:02 mark though.)

“I just wanted to do something different and something a little more fun," Mrs Smith told the Mummy Pages site.

"I think our ushers and bridesmaids thought we were joking to begin with.

"I never in a million years thought it would get this far.

“The feedback we’ve received has been really positive, and if it helps bring a smile to people’s faces, then it’s well worth it,” she added.
