Let’s get back to the party!

This is one of my favorite photos—how adorable is my little sister??

Want to know what she is watching?

She’s enjoying the slow dancing! We had exactly two slow songs.

During both of the songs, we started with our own parents, and then found each other, and invited all of our guests to the dance floor.

Friends - this also happens to be one of my favorite photos - how sweet is this picture! They are also getting married this May

I’m pretty sure I’m telling my dad here that this is my shower song…

Probably laughing that we’re dancing to my shower song in front of 300 people…

Enjoying the moment!

Hermit Crab wedding tip #23: We wanted to keep the energy high, but including a few slower dances gave us the opportunity to have a quiet moment with our parents and with each other in the midst of all the high-energy craziness, as well as share one of our favorite songs with all of our guests! And I don’t feel like it changed the spirit of the party at all.
