‘I’m enamoured by the sparkle in the eye of each bride’ … Ben Freeman can’t get enough of Beyoncé dance medleys on YouTube. Composite: YouTube

On 6 October 2016, the Canadian pop singer and reality star Melissa Molinaro posted her video “MELISSA MOLINARO WEDDING PERFORMANCE” and shifted the course of my life for ever.

The video, which has been viewed 33m times, opens with Molinaro strutting into a wedding venue straight out of a Selling Sunset finale. Her brand new husband perches on a single chair, like a king awaiting his (sexy) jester. The dance starts sensually, with two backup dancers adorned in peach leotards. All three vow their commitment to one husband through hair flicks and quick snaps. Molinaro is a vision of divine femininity. She is Eve, her husband Adam, and Beyoncé’s Upgrade You blaring on the venue’s speakers is the poison apple … that she ate.
