Future 1L Uses Wedding Video Hit to Raise Funds for Charity

A future law student and his new wife are using the success of a YouTube video of their dance down the wedding aisle to raise money to fight domestic violence.

Future law student Kevin Heinz and his bride, Jill Peterson, became a YouTube sensation with a video showing their wedding procession to the song "Forever." Critics pointed out that the singer was Chris Brown, convicted of assaulting his girlfriend Rihanna.

Now the couple has a website asking fans to donate money to the Sheila Wellstone Institute, a group that fights domestic violence, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Heinz will be a 1L at Hamline University law school in the fall, according to TwinCities.com.

Newlyweds are so fun, but this has unlimited potential for future irony.  A decade or so down the road, if they get in a little domestic tif and end up subject to reciprocal restraining orders, you can bet this little jewel will be back.

Please use the money instead to pay off your 120,000 debt to go to 4th tier law school.

Better yet - if you can’t get into a top 100 law school don’t go.
