Wedding 'Dirty Dancing' web hit

Ms Boggio said they wanted to make everyone laugh
A video of a couple performing a routine from the film Dirty Dancing for their first wedding dance has attracted thousands of hits on the internet.

Julia Boggio, 32, and James Derbyshire, 33, took to the floor at their reception in Barry, Vale of Glamorgan.

The couple spent six months perfecting the routine performed by Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey in the 1987 film.

The clip, which they placed online for family overseas, has attracted 108,000 hits on video sharing site YouTube.

Ms Boggio, a wedding photographer from Wimbledon, London, said she had always been a fan of the 1980s film.

It was the last thing I wanted to do on my wedding day
James Derbyshire

She said: "I knew that when we got married I wanted our personalities to come out.

"We wanted to make everyone laugh."

But her film-maker husband said it was the "last thing" he wanted to do on his big day.

"I really am such a bad dancer," said Mr Derbyshire, originally from Cardiff.

"It was the last thing I wanted to do on my wedding day. Just think about all the other things you've got to do."
