Coconut Recap: Our First Dance!

February 6th, 2009 @ 8:29 am by Mrs. Coconut

Here are some pictures from our first dance as a married couple. It took us a while to find our song, but eventually we found the perfect song for us: ABBA’s “Take a Chance on Me”. It was wonderfully upbeat and it made all of our guests laugh, so it was our perfect song.

We took two dance lessons, which were totally fun. If you can talk your fiance into doing it, I promise you won’t regret it. I only wish I could have practiced in my dress. These smiley pictures are totally lying to you guys, because I was so nervous.

1

Mr. Coconut was awesome and didn’t step on my dress once!

2

There was a part where we broke it down like disco fever!

3

But don’t think “Rock the Reception”. No, we didn’t do the fake out dance, we did the balls-out fun dance, and it was so much fun!

I think my boob is about to fall out of my dress.

Oh god… I am most terrified of our first dance! The Mr. actually brought up taking dance lessons to me… I guess I should be thankful he didn’t need to be convinced…

How fun! Even if you were nervous inside you looked beautiful and confident! I’ll have to add that song to our playlist. Wonderful choice!

It looks like you had so much fun! We took dance lessons too but we were pretty nervous so we weren’t smiling as much in our photos! Mr. PN is even sticking out his tounge in several pics (that’s is what he does when he is concetrating)!

Awesome song choice! I love upbeat songs as a first dance. I’m trying to convince my FI to do the dance from Pulp Fiction as our first dance :P

That is SO awesome that you used an ABBA song. I have to admit that I’m kind of jealous of your dance. Both of you look really nice!

I love the disco fever! And I love ABBA’s “Take a Chance on Me.” I think of Mamma Mia which is one of my favorite musicals…I can’t help but break out in song whenever I hear it. You look sooo gorgeous and I’m loving all these recaps.

LOL. My mother would love that to be our song — she’s a bit obsessed with Mama Mia!
