One couple wanted to channel their inner superstars by showing off the iconic lift from Dirty Dancing.
But the triumphant finish they wanted to copy from the 1987 hit film didn’t quite pan out.
As the romantic song The Time of My Life plays in the background, a man and woman at a wedding in Pennsylvania wreak havoc.

Dirty Dancing stars Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey as Johnny Castle and Frances ‘Baby’ Houseman.
Baby is spending the summer at a hotel in the Catskills with her family when she meets Johnny. Baby volunteers herself as Johnny’s dance partner after his current one becomes pregnant.
Much of the movie is spent trying and failing to teach Baby the lift, with the pair nailing it at the end-of-season talent show.
