A Ska Couple's Unique First Dance

[Originally at Ska Bride and Groom Excited for First Skank As Married Couple by PATRICK COYNE]

Avid ska fans and recently married couple Judy Gillespie and Leonard Roth capped off their wedding celebration last night with their very first skank as husband and wife, mostly confused sources confirmed.

“Ever since I was a little girl skanking alone in my bedroom, I wished that someone, someday, would come along and sweep me off my black-and-white checkered low-tops,” said Gillespie. “Some friends ask how I can commit to skanking with just one person for the rest of my life… but I just smile, knowing I found the rude boy of my dreams.”

Groom Leonard Roth agreed, exhilarated to share the special moment skanking with Gillespie “in front of God and everyone we hold dear.”

“That first dance, to ‘Johnny Quest Thinks We’re Sellouts’ by Less Than Jake, was just magical,” said Roth. “Everything about this wedding’s been amazing — and we saved a ton of money outfitting my groomsmen, because I already owned a bunch of black suits and suspenders.”

I can’t help but think weddings like this are awesome. Even though I’m not as avid a ska fan as these two (I don’t know if anyone is), it’s awesome they made the wedding so personal. It’s easy to get caught up in the “supposed to’s” of wedding planning, so it’s cool to see a couple take a step away from that and really do their own thing (even if new fathers-in-law don’t approve).
