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.
