So I want to just pick one song, dance with my new husband for two minutes, and then have our parents cut in? Is this wrong? The last wedding I attended this part was awkward torture and I still have nightmares about it. Then I thought other guests who hada parent in attendance could join us on the floor as well for the end of the song. Plus FI can NOT dance. I don't think anyone wants to watch us do the eighth grade sway for four minutes.

I love this idea! I also hate the idea of having a million separate dances. I might steal this idea from you. :)

HAHA! FI hates this idea. If he was a good dancer I wouldn't care-but really he steps on my feet all the time, he doesn't turn me around or anything and at our E-shoot the photographer told him to dip me, and he almost broke my neck and my toes. lol.

We were throwing the idea around - my fiance & I - about how awkward it is sometimes to watch the first dance.

Not that we're self concious but just the sheer fact that its torture for the guests to pretend to enjoy this somewhat intimate ritual.

So we are thinking about asking first the bridal party to join us after the first 90 seconds & the rest of the guests after the 2 minutes.

Of course it has to be mixed to start slow & end with a shebang.

Now only have to find that song!
