Livefast123 Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 With the big day now less than 3 weeks away my thoughts have turned away from reloading and are somewhat focussed on the fact that i have two left feet and will be expected to fashion a dance together with the new Mrs! Any tips for not making a total pillock of myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyska Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 My first wedding we had a 'simply red' track for our first dance, called up by the dj man, and he played the first few bits of 'smack my bitch up' from the Prodegy, how my gran laughed.

rodp Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 You won't even notice buddy, everything takes over on the big day and it passes in a whirl. Don't even give it a second thought. Now me ! My daughter gets married in August and I have to write a speech I don't do public speaking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jbob Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 I got wedd 3yr ago. I can remember most of the day but it does fly by in a blur. The first dance isnt scary, we danced to Adele - Love Song. I cant dance for toffee but we danced and it was perfect. People will join you after a bit and you forget your fears. I hope you both have a fabulous day and enjoy every minute of it. Oh and a bevy or two can help lol 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderbird Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 I suggest a bit of a two-step shoe-gaze to either, "It's the end of the world as we know it" by REM, or perhaps "Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now" by The Smiths. Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul223 Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 The DJ at our wedding checked that we had given him the right track for our first dance..... We jived to good golly miss molly....... So my advice would be stuff the slow dance and do what your good at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parapilot Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 Brief a few of your mates and partners to join in half way through, so it don't drag on forever! I hated it, only thing that bothered me, I'm happy public speaking etc so speech was no issue, after a few beers it doesn't matter to much anyway. You can worry to much, just kick back and enjoy it, it's Your day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brett1985 Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 my wife picked our first dance.... boy do i regret that. lol all joking aside, it was actually ok. she had walked down the aisle to a sound of a cello and piano playing 'a thousand years' by the piano guys/christina perri being covered live by a couple of friends (she's a twilite fan...) so she decided upon 'a thousand years part 2' for our first dance. its basically the same song but with different lyrics. either way, we dont really remember anyone else being there as we danced. with regards to dancing, the old 2 step shuffle worked well, with a couple of twirls thrown in for good measure...

Oxfordshooter Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 It's your wedding, if you and your wife to be don't want to do it then don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougy Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 Just get on the dance floor and get real close together and start grinding your hips together, round and round, and back and forth. etc I am sure all watching will be impressed with your moves.

Salop Matt Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 As others have said the day goes by so so quick and you just wont get to speak to everyone, its just not possible. Keep the speach`s short, people are there to enjoy the day and your company/food/drink not to hear you go on for ages. My speach at our wedding 2 years ago wasnt more than a minute long as I dont do public speaking and they wanted there beer and food like me so it was better all around that way. We danced nice and slowley to Jason Mraz - I wont give up, a gently sort of swaying dance. Family and freinds joined in half way threw and it was nice to see my new wife dance with my dad and see him take her under his wing as basically another daughter !

mel b3 Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 three or four years ago , i was working as a doorman at a wedding at a country club , the first dance was dirty dancing , about thirty or forty of the wedding party lined up for a perfectly synchronized dance. they were all very good dancers and it was very very impressive . on a side note , i have never seen a wedding that was enjoyed more , i have also never seen so many stunning women in one room .
