Love, Sweet Love: We Bust a Move

September 2nd, 2009 @ 5:28 pm by Mrs. Powder Puff

After the cake, it was time *jazz hands* to dance! From years of research at other weddings, I had determined that the most fun was had when the bride and groom didn’t leave the dance floor all night. So, I decided that that was exactly what I was going to do—dance the night away.

And boy, did we dance!

Mr. Powder Puff looks like a sexy dancing beast in this photo. LOVE it!

At one point in the evening, my dad started to get the dancing bug, so he whirled my mother onto the dance floor, and in a true Patrick Swayze moment, swung his brand new tuxedo jacket over his head and flung it in the general direction of another table… Onto a lit, burning, flaming candle… Luckily, no jackets were harmed in this moment of dance history, but it was a close call!

I love my wagging index finger in this photo. It seems to be saying, “Giiiiirl, don’t you dare cross me, because I will dance you into the GROUND!”

Apparently my friend Heather thought it would be awesome to accessorize her ’do with a portion of our centerpieces. Work it, sister!

My signature move. Open mouth smile, and the “wax on wax off” Karate Kid special.

Notice my mother, on the far right in the photo. Thanks a lot for stealing my signature move, MOM!

My uncle, trying to teach me some new sweet moves. Notice the shock and awe on everyone’s faces in the photo.

Things not included in the photos: a full-on dance off, and me performing the Thriller dance in its entirety.

Yep, things definitely got a little crazy.

A little later on in the evening, a group of my favorite guys ran up to me, begging to let them play their current favorite song, “I’m On A Boat”. Now, if you know what song I’m talking about, then you know it’s DEFINITELY not wedding appropriate. I mean, my grandma was still in the building! But seeing the looks on their hopeful faces, how could I say no?! So I said yes, and had the happiest moment with the happiest groomsmen ever in the middle of the dance floor. Now that’s love!

By the end of the night, my bustle was broken, I had sweat all my makeup off, my hair was falling out of my updo, and I was exhausted. It was definitely a successful evening!

Up next? It’s the end, people. I finish the story of our wedding, and I say my dramatic goodbye. Get the Kleenex ready!

Wanna catch up before the awesome train reaches its destination?

That’s hilarious that you played I’m on a boat. I hope for your grandma’s sake that at least some of the naughty bits were bleeped out. ;)

That was so fun. You did have one pic with almost the jazz hands (wax on/off)! Your dad is awesome btw. That looks like one amazing party.

HA. I’m on a boat is definitely what my fiance would like to close out the night with. Especially appropriate as we will in fact be, on a mother-effing boat.

Also, I love, love, love the signature moves. LOVE.

SO MUCH FUN!
your quote “By the end of the night, my bustle was broken, I had sweat all my makeup off, my hair was falling out of my updo, and I was exhausted. It was definitely a successful evening!”

I couldn’t have said it better myself about my own wedding!! No make up, not bustle, no updo–but a great night!

@LatteLove: Here here! And by the way, your comment totally made me think of a scene from “When Harry Met Sally” when they’re having dinner with Marie and Jess, and she quotes something he wrote, and he says “No one’s ever quoted me to me before!” Well, no one has ever quoted me to me before either! Love it! :)
