Wedding guests know not to ever outshine the bride, but that didn’t stop this flower girl from well and truly stealing the show.
All eyes were on Celina Tannous who made one hell of an entrance at Linda and Nicholas Kastanias’s wedding at Doltone House in South Sydney last month.
The six-year-old stole the limelight from her older sister Rachel, who was also a flower girl, and page boy Christian Bounassif, as she broke away to freestyle her way down the aisle to the delight of 350 guests.
But it didn’t end there with the anything-but-shy Sans Souci student tossing her flowers in favour of carving up the dance floor for another long minute.
Award-winning cinematographer Abraham Joffe from untitled film works captured the flower girl’s incredible entrance and posted it to YouTube last month. It’s since been viewed 17,500 times.
Celina’s mum Mary said her “show pony” daughter, who loves singing and Nicki Minaj, had been practising her moves for a couple of months in the lead up to the big Greek and Lebanese wedding.
“We asked her if she was going to do something amazing and she said ‘yeah’ but we didn’t really think she’d do it,” she said.
“She’s always been our show girl … but we thought she was just like that in front of the family.
“It’s changed the way I look at her and it’s made me think about what I should do with her. People are saying I should enrol her in dancing or acting and that she should do commercials.”
But Celina, who was attending her first wedding, is unfazed.
“She was fine afterwards. She just danced a bit before getting picked up about a quarter-way through the wedding. She had to go to school the next day,” Mrs Tannous said.
“She doesn’t talk about the wedding.
“I think she understands she’s on YouTube, and we show it to her sometimes and say ‘wow, it’s now had 15,000 views’, but she doesn’t seem interested.”
The youngest of three siblings, Celina is probably too busy scheming how to spend the cash she made at the wedding.
Hugely popular MC John Alten, who is friends with the flower girls’ parents, promised Celina $10 to “perform her best” at the reception.
But the cheeky kid told him straight up that her fee was actually $100.
After stunning the guests with her popular performance, Mr Alten was forced to cough up.
Not bad coin for a six-year-old.
