Almost 12 years after Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) and Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) exchanged vows in a dreamy woodland ceremony in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1, the song that soundtracked Bella’s march down the aisle finally has its very own music video.
EW is exclusively premiering Sleeping At Last’s music video (above) for their poignant single “Turning Page,” which Twilight fans will recall not only plays during the lion and the lamb’s nuptials but also during their honeymoon on Isle Esme.
The video, which is co-directed by Derek Hough and So You Think You Can Dance alum Phillip Chbeeb, explores both the beauty and ephemerality of love through the medium of dance.

It opens with Hough traversing across a square platform to reunite with his fiancée Hayley Erbert while being buffeted by a raging sandstorm. After the pair exchange a passionate kiss, the chaos surrounding them briefly calms, only for Hough and Erbert to be separated once again when the platform spins in a different direction.
In the film’s opening scene, Hough crosses a square platform to see his fiancée Hayley Erbert while being battered by a furious sandstorm. The moment Hough and Erbert have a passionate kiss, the turmoil around them temporarily quiets.
However, when the platform spins in a different direction, Hough and Erbert are once more separated.
“We wanted to make a video about love and how passing through life is like dancing between life and death. We eventually come down to the soil, like the sands of time,” Hough tells EW.
“However, despite our fleeting existence, the essence of life is found in cherishing and accepting love while we have the opportunity to do so.The brevity of life serves as a reminder to seize every moment and to connect deeply with others. In the grand tapestry of existence, the pursuit of love and connection makes this journey all the more worthwhile.”
The couples leap into each other’s arms, twist into kaleidoscopic shapes, and slash through the sand to rekindle their romance, all brought to life by Chbeeb and his wife Makenzie Dustman’s breathtaking choreography (she teased the release with a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the music video, below). The dancers Jason Glover, Erica Klein, Haley Jonae, Billy Mustapha, Koine Iwasaki, Lex Ishimoto, and Hough’s fiancée Hayley Erbert are all featured in the video in addition to Hough and Erbert.
