Morning ladies and gentlemen (I know we have at least one amongst us)! So today is day two of asking questions and let me just say that coming up with good, original questions isn't easy! I really give it a lot of thought!
So today's question is, are you doing a traditional first dance as husband and wife or are you being creative with it and stepping out of the box? Please explain why you chose traditional or why you chose another route.
I have always LOVED the movie Dirty Dancing since I was a little girl because I had always wanted to be a dancer since as far back as I can remember. I absolutely have a passion for dancing even to this day. FH saw videos online of couples who had done the infamous 'Time Of My Life' dance he asked me how I felt about doing that and of course I loved the idea! The fact that he would offer to be my Patrick Swayze because he knows how much I love dance and the movie made me realize all over again why he's the one for me! That is what we plan to dance to for our wedding because it fits our personalities perfectly. It may not be traditional, but it's us! :)
**I apologize in advance if any of my questions have been asked before**

I'm the dancer, Fh has two left feet. So the dancing will be traditional but our song choice is going to be a little out of the box. Right now we are between two different Muse songs.Love that you are doing that btw. Love dirty dancing!

I love the dirty dancing idea - that is so cute!We're doing a traditional first dance because I can't see FH going for anything thats outside the box LOL he's way too shy to get involved in anything too crazy. Plus, he's a pretty terrible dancer

Traditional. FH doesn't love to dance unless he's had a few lol I do plan to take a few dance lessons just so we don't sway back and forth for 5 minutes lol I don't even know what song we will be dancing to. FH & I never had a song. Sad I know

Not sad at all. FH and I don't have a song either which is part of the reason why that totally works for us! ;)

OMG! my FH is obsessed with Patrick at Dirty Dancing. We wanted to do our entrance with me runnign to him and him lifting me up..but we cant because of the dress..but he wants to do that dance but we will probably end up doing the traditional dance.

We'll be doing traditional. FH isn't totally on board with outside the box ideas and for this particular aspect of the wedding, I'd like to traditional anyway. But I love your idea!

Delgie love love love your idea so cute. Also don't you love moments like that, that just confirm more that they are the one your meant to be with.Fh and I are untraditional all around so we wanted to possibly a montage of our songs and dance to them. Fh is not much of a dancer I could never see him doing the dance to dirty dancing, I give your fh a lot of credit. You got yourself a good one.

We will be doing a traditional dance. We also plan on taking a few dance classes beforehand - it was actually FH's idea! I think he is a bit nervous of looking like a fool up there ;)The dirty dancing idea is so adorable!! You should go for it!

We're probably going to end up doing a traditional first dance, but FHs uncle owns a dance studio (Bet U Can Dance, they're a vendor on here I believe), so I'm hoping to convince FH to do a choreographed flash mob dance also!!!

FH and I will just be doing a traditional dance. We are both terrible dancers so hopefully we will have some extra money to take some dance classes. The Dirty Dancing idea sounds great though!

We will be doing a traditional first dance, but we also want to incorporate a couple of others as well. We are going to take dance lessons, and want to do a lindy as well as a latin dance (FH is spanish, and half the guest list is spanish as well). He says his dream is to take over a dance floor with me. The problem is that we're not good dancers. This should be interesting.

We are going to do a traditional dance, it's a Marc Anthony ballad called 'Tu Amor Me Hace Bien' which is kind of like, your love makes me good. But there is a fast salsa version and we LOVE to salsa so I'm thinking of getting some lessons and playing the song later in the night and dancing away! Not anything choreographed and I don't think I'll change my dress for it but I would probably have the DJ make an announcement about us dancing again to the song and then BOOM. lol. FH and I secretly wish to be professional dancers haha.. but maybe that's not so secret!!

I took salsa lessons for two years and performed once or twice so I'm pretty good at it. FH has been taking salsa lessons for about six months now and loves it as much as I used to and now he's trying to put the idea in my head that maybe we should do a choreographed salsa routine instead of our original plan so I can totally relate to you on this one!

Traditional for us, I'm just going to let him lead and I will move to the music. I keep getting spam in the mail for dance lessons and such, seems a bit much.

Traditional. I always thought I wanted to do this huge crazy first dance, but I'm starting to realize it's not the best idea after watching us dance at the e-party, haha. We'll be dancing to First Day of My Life by Bright Eyes
