East 171. HousE of LovE
Inspired by the growing trend for online wedding dance videos T-Mobile decided to create a wedding dance of its own.
The T-Mobile Royal Wedding is a congratulatory message to William and Kate, as well as a way of capturing the nation’s mood of celebration and jubilation in true T-Mobile style.
Featuring 15 royal look a likes dancing down the aisle in front of a packed congrega-tion to East 17’s House of Love, the online ad has become an internet sensation, being
viewed by millions of people world wide.
As a result of the ads success, House of Love is gaining popularity again – 19 years after it was a hit in the charts. The infectious anthem is reaching both new ears and reminding
many people that, wow, it really is a good track!
