Typical weddings have a few elements in common and different people look forward to different parts. Some people love when the bride enters the sanctuary and everyone gets to see her for the first time. Those who try to be different and cool say that their favourite part is looking at the groom as the bride enters, but I think that's lame. I have a friend who looks forward to the kiss that occurs once the pastor pronounces them husband and wife. But me? My favourite part is the first dance.
I was at a wedding a couple weeks ago and the bride and groom had choreographed a hiphop dance routine. This sort of choreographed dance is becoming more and more common. I am not a fan of this new trend. I love seeing the bride and groom dance to some sappy slow song; the bride with her hands on the groom's shoulders and the groom with his hands on the bride's waist. Now why is this my favourite part of a wedding? I like seeing the bride and groom dance like they're at a junior high sock hop. It's usually one of the first moments that they can just talk to each other and look at each other. Watching the first dance is like sharing an intimate moment with the wedding couple.
I'm not sure why I wanted to write this today but I guess it's a good start for this thing... and something a little more sunny before the crankiness sets in.
