Meaningful Touches Are What You and Your Guests Remember

You know how dance skits of the bride and groom or bridal party were really hot last year? Well, while assisting Events by Audrey, another wedding coordinator in the Houston area, at a super huge, two-day wedding I had the opportunity to see a very touching twist to the dance skit.

After the bride and groom did their thing together on the dance floor, it was time for the father-daughter dance. I was surprised and amazed when the music started and the song playing was "All Night Long," by Lionel Ritchie. I was even more amazed when the bride and her father began their own dance skit to that song. It was so touching to watch this father attempt to keep up with his daughter to do all of the rehearsed moves and hand gestures. And I must say her father did an excellent job. After all, how many of us could actually get our fathers to do an up tempo dance skit in front of hundreds of family and friends? Watching the interaction between the two of them, while they danced together was so meaningful and touching. Watching them dance together gave you a glimpse of their relationship and what it may have been like growing up in that household. It was also a great reminder as to why we wedding planners and coordinators choose to do this job.

So to those who think or say that the dance skit is passe, I say not necessarily so. When you choose to do anything for your wedding, make sure you are choosing to do it because it is meaningful to you and your family. If you do something for that reason, it really doesn't matter how passe or out of date others may think it to be. When your guests see the enjoyment that you and your family members are experiencing, everything falls into place, and you and your guests have something touching and memorable to think back on for years to come.
