Planning a wedding is a group effort. That said, few weddings involve the kind of effort that Maddie’s family put into this one! According to Maddie, she and her family wanted to do something special for her sister, the bride. Luckily, they were able to find the perfect inspiration in her favorite movie. Their plan? To learn the dance moves to some of the best songs in The Greatest Showman. That way, they could put on a surprise performance!

If you’ve ever seen The Greatest Showman, you understand that this was a lofty goal for the family to set. Still, they were determined to take the time needed to practice these moves. So, for eight months, this loving family put in the work… catch glimpses of their process in the heartwarming video below!

“Do I know this family? No. Have I watched The Greatest Showman? No,” someone shares in reply to Maddie’s video. “Did I watch the entire video start to finish? Yes.”
This is a sentiment that countless others shared. It’s no wonder, then, why Maddie received tons of requests for her to share footage of them actually pulling off this surprise. Lucky for us all, she did just that! You can find part one below.
@madeliefvis Ladies & gents this is the moment you’ve waited for 🎪 PART 1 So this is how the act started, we came up out of nowhere in our outfits to make room in the middle of the crowd. My dad had been practicing this singing part for a month to start the wedding act off with a bang 😍 I think he nailed it. We ended up adding a small dance in this song as well! After this part we had a video running with photos of the bride & groom from when they were young until now. This was the start of the song ‘From now on’. The part where the song becomes more upbeat, that’s where the real dance begins!! THE DANCE PART WILL BE IN TOMORROW’s VIDEO ❤️ #thegreatestshow #thegreatestshowman #thegreatestshowmandance #thegreatestshowdance #fromnowon #fromnowondance #wedding #weddingact #weddingdance ♬ origineel geluid – Maddie

“So this is the part we had been practicing 8 months for!” Maddie writes. “Honestly I remember all this as kind of a blur so having all these videos to look back on is amazing. After this we included the groom and had a flash mob with the full crowd which was insaaaaane.”
