It was perfect, even when tripping over chairs… because we were making our way to the dance floor for our first dance, something I’d been anticipating for as long as I can remember. (Cue Lifehouse’s acoustic version of Take Me Away.)
We decided we were going to do it differently and dance as soon as we were introduced as Mr. and Mrs. Flamingo. We wanted to make sure that both Wes of Film Jones and the our photographer captured this special moment and officially opened up the dance floor with our first dance.
How do I describe the way I felt? Speechless doesn’t even come close, doesn’t do it justice. I didn’t cry, and I didn’t really speak, which made it even more magical… I simply smiled and looked into Mr. Flamingo’s eyes and sang along with him to “our song”. It was the one song that was part of the “us” being together, that day, getting married. It meant the world to us to finally associate the words of the song with our union.
“This time, all I want is you, there is no one else, who can take your place…” (Lyrics from Take Me Away, by Lifehouse)
This time… I love you and it is forever…
Up next: Toast time, and a little tear…

That’s a BEAUTIFUL song! I had never heard it before. You look beautiful and happy.
did you have a bustle on your dress?
seems odd that you had to hold it up.
but other than that… cute! 
@newyorkgirl711: I love Lifehouse… You and Me is also very nice!
Oh, Mrs Flamingo — I have loved all your recaps but I especially adore your last photo of the dance. I can’t tell if you’re laughing or about to kiss, but it’s just amazing.
So sweet! This post made me tear up Mrs Flamingo!
I love Lifehouse
Lifehouse is my all time favorite band, I couldn’t get away with making one of their songs our first dance though
