After my weepy dance with my dad, the Mother/Son dance rocked the room into a dance party! They never told me what they were planning so I was just as surprised as everyone else. Their dance started off with a few bars of Celine Dion, but then they whipped out sunglasses and grooved it out as the DJ flipped on “Cooler Than Me” by Mike Posner.
Mix in some Usher, invite people to dance and you’ve got yourself a full-blown dance party! My cousins are so fun at weddings. They never leave the dance floor and always keep it poppin’!

With the dance floor packed, I took the opportunity to grab my groom and some of his friends and have them hang our photobooth. We so didn’t have a plan for that, but it needed to get hung one way or another in the courtyard. It was also around this time that I felt like I was in charge of everything. I don’t know why this happened, but I felt like the host and I had to make sure everyone was having a good time everywhere.
I never really just sat down or relaxed for one second. There was so much adrenaline pumping through my veins and so many people to talk to that I just felt like I was wrapped up in a whirlwind. If I could go back and do it again I would sit down for 10 minutes, drink my wine and enjoy the party unfolding around me.
Take a minute during your reception to just watch for a tiny bit and feel satisfied that you did a great job pulling it all together. 
Ahh!! That’s so awesome!! I love how Mr. B and his mom look like they’re having a BLAST!
And seriously, that dance floor is PACKED! That’s always the best. It looks perfect.
what an awesome dance party. i *love* how the mr. and his mom kicked it off!
Great idea to have them kick things off. That song gets me going, too, I cannot listen to it and not get pumped.
OMG that is absolutely adorable! I love how they surprised even you! 
Great idea to sit down and relax! Mr. Magic once threw a surprise bday party for me, and I didn’t eat the whole time bc I was soo pumped and too busy “hosting.” I need to learn to let gooooooo….
Looks like some fist pumping action too!
That dance floor is hoppin’! The girl in the fuchsia dress with her hands in the air could easily be me at a party. Whoooooo!
I so hope our crowd will be packing the dance floor like yours!
That is such an awesome surprise for them to do!! Ha ha! I would have died laughing.
That looks like SO MUCH FUN!! Props to the groom and MIL!
Can I put you in charge of getting our guests dancing??? Everyone looks like they’re having a blast! Great job on excellent planning.
AWESOME! Love that!
I plan on doing a similar thing with my Dad (start off dancing to a slow song, then bust out with a fast song! :))
Looks like a blast was had by all - nice!
How cool is your MIL?! What a great surprise!
Great advice for future brides. A client of mine gave me some similar advice - she said to grab my husband and take 5 minutes at the reception to really take a step back, look all around and drink it in. This was supposed to help me remember it later. I didn’t spend 5 whole minutes doing this, but I did pause for a minute here and there, and it really did help!
Ah - how fun are Mr. B and his mom?!?! Love it! It looks like everyone was having a fantastic time!

Mrs. Barrettes, Tumon, Guam/Napa, CA Age and Occupation: 29, Dancer Fiance's Age and Occupation: 31, Licensed Building Contractor Engagement Date: November 16, 2008 Wedding Date: October 2010 Venue: V. Sattui Winery About Me: I'm an East Coast girl, living on a tiny little island in the Pacific, twirling, leaping, and shimmy-ing my way through life, and now, wedding planning! I'm equal parts nerdy and cool... okay, mostly nerdy. I love satin bows, red lipstick, black & white graphic anything, the shine of sequins and the sound of a champagne "pop". My favorite books are The Portrait of a Lady, by Henry James, and Tender is the Night, by F. Scott Fitzgerald. I can also conjure a pretty good Patronus Charm. I started my appreciation for good red wine while traveling on the high seas, and it's only fitting that my passion for wine drinking led me to my Napa-bred honey. We bonded over bottles of Cabernet on my oceanfront porch and haven't looked back since. We're sealing the deal at a winery in the Napa Valley on a 'perfect ten' of a day!
