About Mrs. Peep Toe

After our ridiculously fantastic entrance, we walked straight onto the dance floor and had our first dance.

Our first song was a hit; everyone loved it:

Although, our 7th grade sway left a lot to be desired.

So, it was a very good thing that we were distracted…

… by the cutest little girl in pink.

And her equally cute cousin:

Later, my sister apologized for the interruption, but I gleefully thanked her for the distraction.

Before the song ended, we did get a couple moves in:

While I love the tradition of the first dance, I will say it was a bit awkward. I wonder if dance lessons would have helped?? Oh well. C’est la vie.

The song eventually ended, and a very proud Papa Peep came to the dance floor.

I don’t know if I mentioned it before, but Mama Peep let us borrow her and Papa Peep’s song—I Left My Heart in San Francisco—which was ridiculously fitting for the moment, and also the same some song that Sister and Papa Peep danced to 5 years ago at her wedding.

A few minutes in, I was more than happy to share the moment with Mr. Peep and MIL Peeps.

And even more happy to invite all the other Father/Daughter couples up to join in on the fun:

At least I know my niece was having fun:

After our only official dances of the evening, Big Brother Peep said a quick blessing:

FIL Peep came up and said some of the sweetest words.

This really meant a lot to Mr. Peep:

Love by the Bay: Dancing and Toasting :  wedding pictures pro pics recap 10911 1091

I was nervous about what my Sister/MOH might say about how I use to follow her around like a little puppy dog.

Love by the Bay: Dancing and Toasting :  wedding pictures pro pics recap 10941 1094

And true to form, she kept us in stitches when talking about how I demanded to hang out with her and her friends.

Of course, I still love her all the same:

And finally, it was time to eat some amazing food:

Are you nervous for your first dance? Or any of the toasts??

Up next, the celebration continues.

Mrs. Peep, This is my very first Weddingbee post because I just HAVE to know where Big Brother Peep got his amazing tie! My honey would love love love me forever if I gave him that tie! Please let us *me* know if you find out the details. (BTW, although this is my first post, I’ve been blog-stalking your entire journey because I’ll eventually be a fellow San Francisco bride myself! And I adore that you included “I Left My Heart in San Francisco” into your reception. What a beautiful idea!)

I love the idea of inviting the other father/daughter pairs out onto the dance floor during the father/daughter dance. I don’t know if we will have enough parent / child combos in attendance at our wedding to make it happen, but we will see…

Neither FI nor I are dancers. So we’re looking for a shorter song since we’ll most likely be doing the 7th grade sway. :)

I was very nervous about our first dance, so we danced to Better Together for about a minute (more than long enough for our 7th grade sway) and then the dj transitioned into “I wanna grow old with you” from the wedding singer. It was a fun-upbeat transition, we danced around like fools for another 30 seconds, and then we were done!

The reception looks great. I wasn’t actually nervous about our First Dance, but it was the one moment of the wedding where I realized that EVERYONE was looking at us and taking photos! That was a little strange.

You look god dancing. My dad has a disability but was still able to dance with me, so to take all eyes off of him, we invited all father/daughters up to dance with us (my husband danced with one of my daughters).
