Hi!!!
As you know, Justin and I are getting married rather soon and we can’t wait to see you there!!
What you probably don’t know is, we have invited the team from Music Wedding Videos to shoot everyone enjoying the day, singing, dancing and generally having a great time to the song ‘Fine China’ by Chris Brown.
Here is the video of the song we’ve chosen for you to get familiar with…
Click here to view ‘I Gotta Feeling’ on Youtube
How this works is, the guys will be equipped with lyrics and speakers on the day, and they’ll be looking for volunteers to mime along to a couple of lines from the song on camera, which they’ll then turn into a music video of the wedding day. Don’t worry too much about learning the lyrics as they will have some printed on the day and after playing a short section of the song a couple of times you’ll soon pick it up.
You’ll have a few go’s at getting it right, and they’re pretty good at editing to make you look awesome. Your singing voice doesn’t matter either because they’re not going to use the audio – the real song will be played over the video footage of you singing along.
If you’re really up for it, feel free to learn a line or two from the song (or even the whole thing)…

The lyrics are included on that version so that if you want to you can rehearse and remember them to perfection! Alternatively there is a link to the lyrics here too – http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/chrisbrown/finechina.html
(The lyrics are also shown at the bottom of this page…)
How up for it are you?
Mad for it!
OK, so you fancy yourself as a bit of a performer or a pop-star in another life?
Here’s what you can do:
- Watch the video
- Learn the lyrics
- Practice in front of the mirror
- Choreograph a dance routine
- Get together with some like-minded guests to do something as a group
We are looking for people to (willingly) come forward beforehand to be given specific lines to learn, and we will then forward everyone their own lyrics to perfect 🙂 If any of you do want to perform something special, please let us know or contact the MWV guys at info@musicweddingvideos.com so they can plan it into the shoot.
Happy to get involved on the day
Here’s what we recommend:
- Watch the video
- Try to learn at least one or two lines from the song
- Grab the MWV guys on the day and let them know you want to get involved
A little bit camera-shy
We realise some people either don’t feel super comfortable in front of cameras, especially video cameras. Don’t worry – the MWV guys are very sensitive to this and won’t force you to get involved if you don’t feel comfortable. But if it’s not too painful, we do hope you can at least give us a smile or a wave so that we can remember you on our special video. And remember – if it’s your singing voice you’re worried about, they don’t actually use that in the final video – you’re just miming along to the real song. Here’s what we recommend:
- Don’t worry too much about learning the lyrics
- On the day, see if you’re in the right mood. If not, just let the MWV guys know if you’d prefer to just be an ‘extra’ without performing, or if you don’t want to be in the video at all.
We think this is a really fun way to record and re-live our big day for years to come and hope you’ll all get involved in some way.
Still not sure how this works?
Here are a couple of examples of a finished video from previous weddings once they have been edited and effects have been put on…
Jen’s Music Wedding Video – Mr Brightside
Dan and Gemma’s Music Wedding Video – Dirty Bit
So……..
- Glamorous couple – Check
- Beautiful Location – Check
- Awesome dancing and singing – that’s where you come in
Let’s make this a wedding video to remember!
Love
Michelle and Justin

PPS Here are those lyrics…
“Fine China”
Owww
Ho
Owww
[Verse 1:]
Baby, does he do it for you?
When he’s finished, does he step back and adore you?
I just gotta know ’cause your time is money and I won’t let him waste it
Oh no no
Baby, just go with it
‘Cause when you’re with me I can’t explain it
It’s just different
We can take it slow or act like you’re my girl, let’s skip the basics, whoa, no.
He’s so replaceable
You’re worth the chase you’re putting on
[Chorus:]
It’s alright,
I’m not dangerous
When you’re mine,
I’ll be generous
You’re irreplaceable
A collectible
Just like fine China
[Verse 2:]
Favorite. You’re my favorite.
It’s like all the girls around me don’t have faces.
And the saying goes
“Life is just a game” but I’m not playin’, whoa.
He’s so replaceable
You’re worth the chase, you’re puttin’ up.
[Chorus 2x:]
It’s alright,
I’m not dangerous
When you’re mine,
I’ll be generous
You’re irreplaceable
A collectible
Just like fine China
[Verse 3:]
Took me awhile to find your love
Ain’t no amount of time in this world
Save me a lot of time and just love me
Feel it, baby, feel it in your soul
Are you ready?
I know your heart’s been telling you you belong to me, ah nah nah no.
[Chorus:]
It’s alright,
I’m not dangerous
When you’re mine,
I’ll be generous
You’re irreplaceable
A collectible,
Just like fine China
