(CNN) -- Sometimes, the effects of fame can ripple like a stone dropped in a pond.



A YouTube video shows a Minnesota wedding party dancing down the aisle.



Take the case of Minnesota residents Kevin Heinz and Jill Peterson. The couple had a fun idea for their wedding party to do a nontraditional procession to a catchy tune, "Forever" by Chris Brown.



The joyous video of the group busting their loosely choreographed moves down the aisle went viral after the newlyweds posted it on YouTube. Soon they were being deluged by the media and flown to New York to appear on national television.



Since then, millions have watched the funky wedding march and helped transform Heinz and Peterson into instant celebrities.



Amy Carlson Gustafson, a pop culture reporter for the St. Paul Pioneer Press, reported on the story that she said has not only stirred up the hometown folks, but also showed a different side of Minnesota.



"I think people are loving it," she said. "It's really fun and it's especially fun in Minnesota where a lot of people think we are a bunch of uptight Scandinavians who sit around and say 'You betcha.' This video helps to debunk that a little bit."



That sense of fun and whimsy has enchanted many and led to Heinz and Peterson being sought for interviews by everyone from their local publications to the major networks.  Watch guests at the wedding discuss the experience »



But they have apparently also learned quickly about the downside of fame.



The New York Post reported the pair was caught in the crossfire of the battle of the morning shows.



According to the newspaper, ABC flew Heinz and Peterson to the Big Apple after booking them to appear on "Good Morning America."



Things soured, the paper's Page Six column reported, after ABC learned the couple had also taped a segment for the rival "Today" show, which aired before the couple's appearance on "Good Morning America."



Adding fuel to the fire was a planned live re-creation of the dance by the wedding party scheduled for Saturday morning on "Today."



When it appeared that Heinz and Peterson weren't adhering to the age-old "dance with who brung ya" rule, their ABC-sponsored hotel and flight home were canceled, the paper said.



"We've been kicked out of our room," Heinz told the Post after the incident. "New York is cutthroat. That's what we've learned."



"Today" reportedly stepped in and secured a new room and flight for Heinz and Peterson.



Reporter Gustafson said she spoke with mother-of-the-bride Marge Peterson, who said her daughter and new son-in-law were done talking to the media.



"They are not used to this type of publicity," Gustafson said.



Shane Mercado can relate.



The 27-year-old from New York posted a video last year of himself mimicking step-for-step Beyonce's dance moves from her "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)" music video.



Mercado said he did it at the suggestion of a friend and before he knew it, he was a YouTube sensation.



"Once I did it I thought 'What did I just do?' " he recalled. "The response was overwhelming."



Soon, Mercado was a minor celebrity being asked for autographs and dancing his routine on the "Bonnie Hunt Show."



"Extra" even arranged for him to surprise Beyonce on the red carpet during the premier of her film "Cadillac Records"



Not only did the superstar singer know who he was, Mercado said, but so did other celebs.



"The actress Gabrielle Union knew who I was," Mercado said. "That just blew me away.'



Mercado said he doesn't consider himself famous and finds the notoriety humbling.



The loss of anonymity is challenging, he said. Suddenly, the number of people "in your business" dramatically increases. He said he can imagine how Heinz and Peterson are
