Jeff & I had a surprise in store for our guests, no one, not even our parents knew our secret! For our first dance, Jeff and I did a choreographed foxtrot to Harry Connick Jr.'s "It Had to be You"!
We had secretly taken lessons at Rigsby Jig Dance Studio. We took a total of five lessons, which started 2 months prior to our wedding day. It was our little date night and it's something that we'll remember we did together, so not only was it pure entertainment for our guests but it was quality QT for the fiance and I! And not to mention an unforgettable first dance as husband and wife!

Because the Sirrocco Lounge had a max of 50, we needed to get the most from our dance floor. We couldn't have pulled this off without Patrick's help. Ok I lied there was another person who knew, Patrick knew about our dance only cause he was trying to help us out. We wanted as much dance floor space that the area could allow, not only for our first dance, but because I knew we had a group full of dancers! So with Patrick's help, he tweaked the floor plan and our dance was executed perfectly!
I can say now that the one regret I do have is not having a videographer, purely for this reason! The darling husband and I opted not to have one thinking that we would never watch the video, but I wish I could see how we did during our first dance. From what our guests have told us, it was great, but I guess we'll never know!
My father in law did get a partial video of it, but then scanned the room for people's reactions (all good by the way), but we didn't get a complete video. Hopefully our photographers got great shots of our dance number!

I remember my mom shouting, "That's my daughter!" She was so proud of us, she'd like to believe that I got this talent from her! Thanks mom for passing down the genes.
We are so glad that we planned our first dance! It'll be something we'll both never forget! All the memories from our wedding night come rushing to my mind when I hear "It Had to be You!" And sometimes I still try to get the husband to do it with me in our living room! Truly unforgettable moments!
Do you and your hubby-to-be plan on doing a choreographed dance or a traditional slow dance?
