After our over dramatic lip-syncing introduction (note the standing ovation for our performance behind us here), we walked over to our sweetheart table to drop off my bouquet and headed right back out to the dance floor. Though of course, not before presenting the fountain like it’s in The Price Is Right’s showcase.
I love choreography, and had wanted to DIY that too. I dreamt of a first dance like this one:
Unfortunately da hubs’ entire dance move repertoire comes from this scene of the infamous movie…:
SO, compromise it was. We were definitely not doing that sway to a romantic ballad thing, so we just picked the closest upbeat tune there was to being our song (since we don’t really have one) and ran with it:
This is one of his favorite pics, he says ’coz it looks like I want him. Apparently I give the ’look of desire’ when there is spinach stuck in my teeth.
“Touching me…”
“Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet Caroline!”
“Good times never seemed so good…”
Crowd chanted: “So Good!”
“So Good!”
Fun, goofy, short, and sweet. Our kind of perfection.
Mmm… Bacon…
Anyone else wingin’ their first dance?

Aw that’s so cute! What fun first dance pics! And we didn’t Wing ours…we suck at impromptu…and dancing! So we planned ours Very Carefully!
Awww, it looks like you had SO much fun with your first dance — and you have my stamp of approval for an excellent song selection! 
I love that first video! I’ve been having a hard time finding really beautiful choreographed dances on youtube that don’t include MC Hammer or hiphop!
your dance looks awesome! i like that you sang and the crowd got into it too.
I love it! So upbeat and fun, and I love that your guests got into it.
I don’t believe you winged it…those are like dance doubles or something!! You look so cute together!!
We’re gonna wing it. Hopefully we’ll manage!
We are wingin’ it. I have 2 left feet that no amount of dance instruction will fix. But we’ll have fun.
You guys are so freakin’ cute! I love these pictures. And the look-of-desire-spinach-stuck-in-teeth made me laugh out loud!
My aunt bought us lessons and we still winged it…cuz we are THAT bad!
That is so awesome! I’m glad that you had fun and did more than the stand and sway!
your first dance pics are so cute! I’m loving the backdrop too!
We want to do some sort of dance mix. Kind of like “evolution of dance” but less old songs.
Bravo! Very sophisticated and very entertaining. Feel like watching it again and trying to capture some of his moves to add to my repertoire of dance maneuvers.
how cute!!! I love the idea of wingin it! Too bad my fi told me that our “first dance” will be the first and last time I ever see him dance. This depresses me because I was a dancer for 10 years growing up! Boo! But luckily I will be doing a suprise dance with my bm’s!
That sounds like so much fun! I <3 crowd participation
