Bride shares the energy behind her viral wedding entrance

We at Briefly News caught up with Charné to talk about the inspiration behind the high-energy entrance and how it felt going viral online

The team asked whether she and her bridal party rehearsed the entrance choreography ahead of time or if it was pure, spontaneous energy, Charné shared:

"The entrance was never rehearsed; we just played our song to the group maybe a few weeks prior, and they already knew the vibe that was expected. Most of our bridal party are South Africans, and then 3 were Kiwis, and they did not disappoint either."

We asked how it felt seeing the entire room matching her energy and bringing so much hype to the reception, and she noted:

"It was great seeing the rest of the room match our energy, and this clip doesn’t do the vibe and moment justice; we had guests jumping in with the bridal party as the rest of the song played out. It was amazing!"

When asked if she expected the entrance to receive so much love online and how it felt reading all the sweet reactions from viewers, and she responded:

"Honestly shocked! I don’t post often and don’t have a huge following so it was very unexpected, but I love reading the comments and seeing how happy and proud the video makes people, and they have been super heartwarming, and it’s not surprising at all to get that support from your fellow Saffas. Thanks, everyone, for watching, commenting and sharing the video and now being a part of our special day."
