Sometimes I don’t know why I try and finish recapping our wedding. Then I came across the video footage below, and I remembered why. I’m going to jump around on my recaps, because…well…they’re my recaps and I’ll do as I want.

Anyways, back to why I’m here today. Leading up to our wedding, Mr. Dolphin knew he wanted to honor his Mema and Papa with a dance of their own (as they will be celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary this year and have done so much for Mr. Dolphin growing up and now). So we told the DJ to play “their” song, The Twelfth of Never by Johnny Mathis, during our reception, as a surprise for them.

I love how Mr. D’s Papa is singing the song to Mema in her ear while they dance.

The song, The Twelfth of Never, comes from a popular expression which is used as the date of a future occurrence that will never come to pass. In the case of the song, the 12th of never is given as the date that the singer will stop loving his beloved, thus indicating that he will always love her/him. Wikipedia

Ahhh, every time I hear this song I fall more and more in love with it.

Then everyone joined in…

Groomsmen M and his gal, A. Funny enough, they both caught the bouquet and garter. Watch out, y’all are NEXT!

Sunny MOH and her husband, Groomsman S, dance within the crowd. They’re now living half way around the world in Thailand doing volunteer work for the next few years. I miss them.

And, here Mema and Papa are, at their wedding 50 years ago.

Happy (soon-to-be) Anniversary!

Do you plan/did you have a special dance for your grandparents (or anyone else in your family)? Was it a surprise for them?
