We got ready for our first dance by doing a few warm up stretches while we waited for our guests to trickle back into the ballroom.
I stretched out my leg while Mr. Knitting practiced his ballet first position:
You’d think from these stretching photos that we’d have something elaborate planned for our first dance:
But, no we didn’t. We just shuffled around like this for a bit:
After about 30 seconds of this we had our MC/ my little sis ask everyone else to join us on the dance floor, resulting in our inclusive first dance. We figured that since we wouldn’t be performing any kind of dance worth watching for more than 45 seconds it would be a lot more fun to have everyone join us!
This worked really well for us. We got to have a bit of a “first dance,” but it wasn’t so long that we felt too awkward. It was also just a really nice feeling being surrounded by all our favourite people!
All photos by the super fantastic Josh Levinson!
I’m a big fan of your photographer. I think the last photo on this post is really something special!
That is such a wonderful idea!! I giggled at the stretching pics. Mr. Knitting has some mad ballet skills!
This is a great idea, and it probably kept the dance floor packed for a while too!
We did something similar - we shuffled around for a bit, and then halfway through the song our DJ asked his mom and my dad to join us so we split up and covered the “parent dances” as well. So nice to fit it all into one song instead of three!
And that last photo is completely gorgeous.
Great first dance. The stretching picture is awesome
hahah love the stretching picture. who knew mr. knitting was so bendy?
