Newlyweds from infamous J & K wedding dance video user their star power for good

We just love it when YouTube sensations use their newfound star power for good. Heck, we love it when anyone does that!

Jill and Kevin Heinz, the newlyweds now forever known for their "Forever" dance moves, want to make sure their lighthearted wedding entrance doesn't become negatively entangled with the singer of their song of choice. Clearly, they'd rather not have their nuptials associated with Chris Brown and his assault drama with Rihanna.

So, instead of encouraging Nigel Lythgoe to put them on So You Think You Can Dance or other attempts to see their names in lights, the Heinzes are encouraging fans to donate to a domestic violence-related organization.

"We hope to direct this positivity to a good cause," they write on their website. "Due to the circumstances surrounding the song in our wedding video, we have chosen the Sheila Wellstone Institute. Sheila Wellstone was an advocate, organizer and national champion in the effort to end domestic violence in our communities."

Jill and Kevin met when Kevin’s childhood friend, Jeff, married Jill’s college friend, Ann, in 2005. They were both in the wedding party. Jill could not resist Kevin’s wit and charm. Kevin could not resist Jill’s intellect, nor her remarkable dance moves.

We have been through a lot in life, but have come through each experience stronger and more in love with each other. Our experience since we posted the video has been incredible. We would never have expected this response to our wedding entrance in a million years.

We hope to direct this positivity to a good cause. Due to the circumstances surrounding the song in our wedding video, we have chosen the Sheila Wellstone Institute.

Sheila Wellstone was an advocate, organizer, and national champion in the effort to end domestic violence in our communities.

We are so grateful for all the love, kind words, and joy that have been shared with us from around the world. It has moved us deeply and filled our hearts.
