Finally! After many months of indecision, we have finally decided on the song for our first dance. See, King Hippo and I don’t have “our song.” Sure, there are many songs that we both like, but nothing was just jumping right out as “the” song, so we were having a tough time deciding. Plus, we decided a while back that we would take dance lessons (uh, I guess we need to get on that!) and actually have a choreographed first dance, so the tempo was super important. We totally lucked into finding our first dance song, and I attribute it to this dude:

Deacon (a.k.a. Doggy Hippo)

See, little D’ (as he is affectionately called) listens to the Music Source channel on cable while King Hippo and I are at work. What??? I said it. We leave the television on for our spoiled dog. So what? Anyhoo…one day last week, we left the Music Source channel on the Adult Alternative station (my fave) for Deacon.

When King Hippo and I came home, we kept the channel on as we figured out our dinner plans and caught up on each others’ day. We heard this song come on and really, really liked it. After downloading it and listening to it another 1,746 times, we still liked it. So it was decided!

We are going to have to edit it down a bit so it’s not so long, but I’m super excited about it. And now, for your listening pleasure… our first dance song, “You Are the Best Thing” by Ray LaMontagne.

Did you find your first dance song in an unexpected place? And am I the only person who leaves music on for their furry family members?
