Justin Willman and Jillian Sipkins tied the knot this Sunday with a wedding that appears to have been every bit as enchanting as you can expect from a couple that includes a magician. If you feel like [you recognize the pair](http://time.com/4029157/couple-drunk-history-wedding/), it’s because they’re the same lovebirds who went viral this week for their [_Drunk History_ imitation video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4WaIv4WBYsc) detailing the story of how they met. The above photo was originally posted to Instagram by wedding guest [Enrico de la Vega](https://instagram.com/p/7WjUQovr2g/?taken-by=ricodlv) was taken as the couple danced to “I Put a Spell on You,” according to [Us Weekly](http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-style/news/magician-groom-levitates-during-his-wedding-first-dance-see-the-pics-201599). Willman [reposted the photo](https://instagram.com/p/7YOy59nhWk/?taken-by=justinwillman) to his own Instagram with the caption “My dad’s reaction. Worth every penny.” Several other photos capturing the dance routine also appeared under the pair’s wedding hashtag, #JustinTakesASip. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4030196/magician-groom-levitating-first-dance/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4030196/magician-groom-levitating-first-dance/"},"headline":"Magician Groom Shocks Wedding Guests by Levitating During First Dance","datePublished":"2015-09-10T22:01:38.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:24:34.726Z","description":"Newlywed couple bewitches Internet with magical first dance","url":"https://time.com/4030196/magician-groom-levitating-first-dance/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Marriage","viral","Weddings","magic"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan McCluskey","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4030196/magician-groom-levitating-first-dance/","name":"Magician Groom Shocks Wedding Guests by Levitating During First Dance"}}]}] ```
