Mr Pretzel and I were introduced at the reception over the last few refrains of Kodachrome by Simon and Garfunkel; an appropriate choice for our colorful wedding. Our DOC ensured the dance floor was clear and that we had a clear path to it so we could immediately start our first dance as husband and wife.

Our guests were in for a surprise. For months leading up to the wedding Mr P and I spent two evenings a week in dance lessons with Andrea at American Ballroom Dance in Bothell WA. Andrea choreographed a routine for us to L-O-V-E by Michael Buble. These lessons were special time for Mr. P and me. We worked hard and we worked together. Mr P was a bit more of a natural than I was but we polished the dance. We promised our instructor no beers before our first dance, hence why we did the dance immediately after entering the reception. Plus, it was a fun way to kick off the party. Play the video to listen along.
We took our places as the music started.

Mr Pretzel helped me out by counting under his breath.
We spun, twirled, and fox troted around our dance floor.

The ending, the big finale was a move called a chainsaw. I was a little nervous the first time Andrea showed us this move, beach dresses summer but by the time the wedding came around we were pros.

Mr P walked behind me and took my outstretched hand. Crossing my arms in front of me he started to tilt me to the side…

…with a leg popped out all cute.
Then Mr Pretzel lifted me back up to standing position. We took a bow and then celebrated with a kiss.

Swiftly as we exited the dance floor our fabulous DOC handed us each a beer. Perfection!
Amazing, right designer wedding dresses 2012 designer wedding dresses 2012? Our friends and family cheered, they were certainly impressed. However, We offer wedding dresses, wholesale wedding dresses,china wedding dress, bridesmaid dresses, mother of the bride dresse Mr P and I were a little bit heartbroken. What you can’t see in the beautiful photos is the point, only two verses into the song, where our world began to unravel. Our song was being played via iPod over the band’s sound system and the volume was not loud enough. The acoustics in the room at times made it impossible to hear the music. All of a sudden Mr P couldn’t hear the music and then he lost his spot. He couldn’t remember the steps and couldn’t figure out where we were in the routine. I also lost the music but was able to get caught up. I tried to lead him through the rest of the song stringing together steps from the routine. We winged it and got through. We got to the big finale and nailed it.
In the end, nobody knew that we had screwed up but us. My instant reaction was to want a do-over; that’s the competitive side of me. Mr P felt horrible, like he had let me down. In the images of us hugging after the dance Mr P was telling me over and over “I am so sorry” and I was reassuring him that it was OK. It wasn’ bridal lingerie bridal lingerie;t a matter of knowing the dance or having enough practice, it came down to being able to hear the music and it was nobody’s fault. Over time we came to accept our first dance for what it was, beach wedding guest dresses beach wedding guest dresses absolutely amazing summer beach dresses for weddings summer beach dresses for weddings, magical, flawed and real. It wasn’t exactly as we had practiced but it was entirely us. We have a video of the dance. I watched it a month after the wedding and couldn’t get through it. I put it on a shelf and maybe someday I can watch it without reliving the panic that we both felt when we lost the music. We do have a cell phone video of us doing a dry run at our venue. This is the dance in its entirety. We were just practicing to map out the dance space needed so it isn’t polished or perfect. We didn’t do a full chainsaw at the end but it gives you an idea.
I wouldn’t trade the hours of practice in for anything. Sure, the dance wasn’t perfect but the months of preparation were. We carved out time every week just for us. If one of us was in a grouchy mood from work by the time we left dance lessons we were happy. We both feel much more comfortable on the dance floor when a slow song comes on. All of this is why I don’t regret dance lessons and why I would suggest them to anyone. A month after the wedding Mr P and I competed at the Seattle Star Ball in the beginner category and earned three first places (full disclosure: gloves dresses sale they give away first places like candy, but we had fun).
Did anything go wrong in your first dance? How did you recover?
