amyautumn07's Chocolate wedding

What better excuse to learn how to dance together, than for your wedding?

Aside from how great a coordinated dance looks on the big night, the learning process is one that takes trust, willingness to learn and adapt, perseverance, and of course patience! Even for a couple who has been together for years, it can be a good reminder warm-up for marriage (but don't worry, even if you don't dance like the "stars" afterwards, you can still have a great marriage!) and it's the getting there that counts.

For the past few months, we have been trying to learn Argentinian Tango, which was completely new to both of us. It's certainly been a challenge. Dancing seems to use a different part of my brain that is sometimes there, and sometimes not! I have to hand it to my partner - who's great at leading, despite what he says.

Other great dances for weddings I have seen: my friends N and J did a great Samba routine, another couple I know did a lovely Waltz. Please comment if you've seen other wedding dances!

However we dance in the end - it's all about the passion and the smile, and that's something I think we can manage. (Um, and the dress... ! Any opinions on long vs. short?) :)
