A couple of grooms wowed their wedding guests with their first dance when they were married a while back, but now that the video clip of their epic mash-up that culminates with the signature song and moves from Dirty Dancing has been uploaded, the infectious video is going viral.

In the video, the couple, PJ and Noah, begin by awkwardly slow-dancing for the guests before cueing the DJ and breaking out into a full-on choreographed dance extravaganza that demonstrates their range of styles. They step off with Miami Sound Machine/Gloria Estefan's "Conga" before segueing into C+C Music Factory's "Gonna Make You Sweat," Madonna's "Vogue," KC and the Sunshine Band's "Get Down Tonight," and Young Frankenstein the musical's "Puttin' on the Ritz" number. But the glorious denouement of the men's first dance is the iconic lift from Dirty Dancing to Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes's "(I've Had) The Time of My Life."

"We seriously did have "the time of our lives ... An incredible night surrounded by incredible people!" PJ and Noah wrote on YouTube about their wedding.
