When Grace Nation was 8 and her brother Grant Brockman was 6, they made a childhood bet that whoever got married first, the other would have to do a 90-second solo dance at their wedding. 14 years later, Grace's marriage to Colin Nation meant it was time for Grant's performance, which he delivered with plenty of energy and flair, much to the delight of the wedding guests.
Why it matters
The sibling bet and eventual dance routine showcased the close relationship between Grace and Grant, who have remained supportive of each other over the years despite the playful competition. The viral video clips of Grant's dance also highlighted how couples can incorporate personal, sentimental touches into their wedding celebrations.
The details
When Grace and Grant made the bet as children, their parents recorded the moment on video. 14 years later, at Grace and Colin's black-tie wedding in Travelers Rest, South Carolina, Grace called Grant up to fulfill his end of the deal. Grant had been practicing the 90-second solo dance for weeks, and when the music started, he put on an energetic performance, complete with spins, jumps, and even a "dolphin dive into the worm." The dance was a hit with the 65 wedding guests.
- In 2011, when Grace was 8 and Grant was 6, they made the childhood bet.
- On October 2, 2025, Grace and Colin got married in Travelers Rest, South Carolina.
