I was really excited about the anniversary dance at our wedding. Of course we were knocked out at the beginning which Mr. E joked about being a little unfair. 
Per request from Mama E, we selected Al Green’s “Let’s Stay Together” for the couples to dance to. This was my parents’ first dance song at their wedding back in 1977.
We had couples who had recently celebrated their first anniversaries.
BM Cali and Groomsman Wake Boarder were happy to dance past the 5 year mark.
Mama & Daddy E made it pretty far with their 34 years.
It finally came down to Mr. E’s aunt and uncle who had been married for 40 years.
And my aunt and uncle who have been married for 49 years.
We presented my aunt and uncle with a little gift and then danced the rest of the song with them.
It was so much fun to honor all of the couples that came out to celebrate with us. Up next, some photo booth craziness.
If you did an anniversary dance, how many years was the longest couple married for?

I love anniversary dances, 49 years is definitely something to celebrate 
This is such a wonderful idea-I’ve never been to a wedding that did this, but it seems like a beautiful way to celebrate lasting marriages!
I love seeing photos of anniversary dances. Your aunt and uncle look incredibly happy in these photos!
I love love love anniversary dances! So fitting at a wedding (and inspiring too!)
Amazing, E. It’s so inspiring to see you surrounded by so many long lasting couples.
I love this idea and I love that you have so many lasting marriages in your families!
You know, I had never of heard of this before, but it is a sweet and lovely idea - thanks
Such a sweet touch! I love the idea of the anniversary dance…
My brother and SIL did one. It was only slightly rigged as we knew they were getting married on my aunt and uncle’s 50th wedding anniversary. At the end of the dance they were presented with a mini cake. It was very sweet.
Aw, I love it when people do this at weddings! So sweet!
We are definitely wanting to do this at our wedding! Beautiful!
Aww! Love when people do this at weddings. It’s just so sweet.
We did this too and it was great. Our winning couple was married 64 years!!! Very impressive. And I agree with Mr. E, it feels a little unfair getting booted so quickly from your own dance floor!
I think I may incorporate this idea because there are a lot of couples coming to our wedding and I don’t know for sure how long they’ve all been married. But there aren’t that many coming who only have short marriages. Should be interesting…
My grandparents will be at 57 years at my wedding. My other grandparents made it 65 (!!!!) before Grandpa passed away.
