…helps take the stress out of the first dance, and my kids enjoyed it too! –Tara Reimer, Wedding Planner, Ithaca NY

YOUR WEDDING DANCE: simple classic slow dance. Why iare couples saying that this is the ABSOLUTE BEST Wedding Dance Instructional DVD on the market? First: we directly address the needs of total beginners, who really just want to learn enough for a slow romantic first dance, that next step, beyond the common Hug & Wobble. Unlike nearly all current wedding dance DVDs, we focus on exactly what you want: the romantic slow dance. We don t try to teach you five ballroom dances that hardly ever get played at weddings! We have been helping wedding couples for years: our method works. Second: We realize that you are not training for a dance competition: it is your wedding day, and you are dancing with your lover! There is a vast difference between relaxed romantic SOCIAL dance and COMPETITION. Third: many people cannot dance to the beat, (more…)

When planning for the massive day, it’s very easy to get caught up in beaded white dresses, boutonnieres, and how many platters of mini crab cakes to order, but the most important part of the wedding is the most-often overlooked–the ceremony itself. A wedding ceremony can vary hugely depending on the religious (or not) beliefs of the couple, their cultural backgrounds, and their personal preferences. The Knot Guide to Wedding Vows and Traditions can help you sort through all the choices and come up with just the right vows and music for you and your intended. Do you want the traditional “I, so and so, take thee, so and so, to be my lawfully wedding husband/wife before God” or do you want a looser style: “I love you. And I look forward to being your friend and companion, your wife/husband and lover for life”? Carley Roney, author and editor-in-chief of The Knot (www.theknot.com), stronglyrecommendstaking a stab at writing your own vows, but if (more…)

The wedding dance is also the time where the anticipation of months and years of preparation culminates, effectively centering the two of you in a harmonious moment.  Your wedding dance is the one time during your wedding reception that you and your spouse are truly together within the crowd. All eyes may be on you both but this is your moment together and no one else in the room should matter at this moment. Your wedding dance is one of the few memories of your wedding that you will have forever.

For some, especially the men, the wedding dance can be of and in itself a point of discomfort. This is in part due to some people’s angish with dancing, making that occasion a disconcerting one. It’s for this reason that many couples are now taking wedding dance lessons in order to make sure that nothing goes wrong during their wedding dance. Many instructors oftenrecommendthat you use the shoes you’ll be wearing for your wedding as well as a skirt that is very similar to your wedding dress in order to actually get an honest feel for how you will be dancing on your wedding day. It is astounding how much of a difference the height of your shoes and the length of your skirt or train can make when it comes to dancing. These classes are very important for couples that truly want to have the fairy tale wedding experience though not necessarily practical for couples that are already working at the end of their budget constraints.Although most couples opt to taking dance lessons at a dance school, due to time constraints, many chooseto buy instructional DVDs to help them dance. It would be great fun to practice your wedding dance together before the huge night and it is a great way to have fun together as a couple even after the large night.

For the more spontaneous and courageous, you can always just wing it by picking  a song you both love, a dance you like and have fun without worrying about getting it perfect. You are beginning your new life together as a couple and who really needs the pressure of dancing perfect, right? It is also your day and that is one thing that far too few brides really realize when getting caught up in the pressure of creating the perfect wedding within a limited budget.

Whichever method you choose, try your best to have fun and make your wedding dance the special moment that it is. It will bring you many years of great pleasure knowing that you and your significant other have shared this important moment, to symbolize your love of one another.
