Forgive Me Dear, My Memory’s Gone Hazy
A British couple whose Dirty Dancing wedding video became a YouTube hit got a surprise visit - from Patrick Swayze. James Derbyshire, 34, and wife Julia, 33, went on the Oprah show to perform the routine. Swayze turned up during the dance and tapped James on the shoulder, and asked: "Do you mind if I step in?" He then spun Julia around the stage before lifting James in a jokey recreation of a famous moment from the movie. Julia said: "We were so shocked that Patrick wanted to meet us. Oprah told us he loved our dance and wanted to come on the show to surprise us."
FOOTNOTE: Amazing feat, er, feet.

That might be one of the best moments ever, especially for her since she got to dance with someone both good and famous.
I heard Swayze does birthday parties now for a minimum fee.
Joking.
Alternate Footnote:
In a quirky twist, after lifting James...he and Patrick Swayze came out of the closet and left the stage hand in hand...

Hi Annie,
It's a great story - and you're right. I'm sure it was the high point of their lives.
Good on them!

Hi Dan,
A friend of mine actually worked on `City of Joy' with him - and said he was a very genuine guy.
But yes, when he was here for my birthday, he did it for free!!
Joking ....

Hi Bradley,
Wasn't that a scene from `Ghost'?
You, my friend, have turned your `alternate footnotes' into an art form!
Keep smiling

I love that clip. And she got the real thing too. Wow.
I saw that - her face said it all, you couldn't help but smile.
How cool would that be?!
That is great, I don't watch Oprah, but I would have for that. I love that movie :)
That is awesome! What a fantastic thing for him to do.
Oh, I had to comment again, because I wanted to say that I completely agree with you about Bradley (Egel Nest). He's super, isn't he?!?!
