I only recently heard about brides and grooms having a private moment together for a last dance while all their guests are waiting to send them off, but I think it sounds so sweet!
Seriously, the day is like a whirlwind and you spend so much time preparing, getting ready, etc. to marry this person, and then it all goes by so quickly and you’ve probably barely even spoken to each other. I would love to have a final dance together with just us in the room.
It would give us an opportunity to reflect on everything that just happened and to share a special moment together. I sort of want to cry thinking about it, but only because it makes me so happy. 
How are you making sure that you and your SO will be able to take time out with each other on your wedding day?
Awww, that’s a sweet idea. We ended our reception with a fast song, though, so it was a really spirited mood and would have been tough to duck off the dance floor for a private moment!
wow I’ve never heard of that but it sounds so sweet.
That’s a really sweet idea! I do think the day went by so quickly, that it is a nice idea to build in a couple of times during the day for a quiet moment for just the two of you. It sounds dumb, but one of my absolute best memories of our wedding was sitting in our hotel room, eating McDonald’s (we were starving after the reception for some reason), chatting about our favorite parts of the wedding.
That’s an awesome idea. I love the thought of having a special moment together to reflect too. Great post!
i’ve never heard of that too! but i definitely want to carve some us time on our wedding day.
aww! i love that idea. i’m getting teary-eyed too! i’m pretty sure my fiance and i will be too tired after our wedding to really process the day, but something tells me we will stay up and tear through our wedding cards/gifts 
we’re greedy like that. i’m pretty sure just lying in bed next to my husband and falling asleep as a married couple will be a nice moment too.
I’d like to follow the Jewish tradition of the Yichud following the ceremony. While our guests gather on the steps for the birdseed toss, I’d like to have a private moment with my Lamma-Bamma to reflect.
Hey hey, we did that! After our friends and family tore down the reception space, our photographer asked if we would mind dancing together in the empty barn. *sigh* One of the best moments of the day, and we got GREAT pics from it.
Instead of a last dance, I hear a lot of brides and grooms do something special between the ceremony and reception while everyone is at the cocktail hour. Sending the bridal party off with the cameras, the bride and groom get a few minutes to reflect and prepare for the rest of the day. Its a special moment and for most brides and grooms the only time they’ll be alone together all day.
@bunny: That sounds so wondeful bunny!! Now I want to do it even more!
I LOVE this idea! Do you clear the dance floor and dance in front of everyone, or when does this take place??
aww! this is really cute! I’m trying to figure out what we can do to have time to ourselves on our day.
Never heard of it, but if we can make it happen we will. I want to spend as much time that day as possible with the new hubs. 1 month from today!!
That’s a really sweet idea. I’ve never heard of it. My FI and I decided to have pictures taken before the ceremony almost solely to get some time together during the hectic day but I really like the idea of doing it at the end to reflect on it all!
We didn’t plan for this but our DJ played our first dance song again as the last song. Mr Frenchie and I got to dance together again before we ran off It was really a great idea!
@suzanne1880: We’re planning to do it when everyone is lining up outside for the send off at the end of the reception. Just the 2 of us and our photographer.
Aww how romantic!
We’re having a daytime wedding so we plan on spending the entire evening together… just us!

I went to college in Boston and have a special place in my heart for the Northeast. I love reading, shopping, wine, reuniting with college friends that are scattered across the country, reality TV, trying out new recipes, and attempting all the DIY projects that come along with wedding planning. I'm a "bleeding heart, save the world type" and thankfully my job allows me to work on legislation and policy to help out those in need. I met Mr. Frozen Yogurt in a bar, though he doesn't even drink! And now we are planning a modern yet vintage wedding in Dallas while dealing with the trials and tribulations of first time homeownership.
