tagged together in 110 photos dance + wedding Then everyone else got in on the action. First dance! Which meant that very quickly no one was able to stand in a straight line in the dance floor anymore. Haha. I'd never partied in the Southwest and was pleasantly surprised to see the dancing kick off with some LINE DANCING! Dance floor encore! Mosh pit Sarah! With each song, the staff subtly increased the lighting. It was getting close to 11 and everyone was still raging. ...and hit the dance floor again. ...get a load of this guy! Ellen danced with her father... Out on the dance floor... ...for the first dance! Dance floor still going strong right up to the end. Bride on the dance floor! ...congo lines are happening. ...opened the dance floor. The next thing you know, everyone's dancing... The guy was the first to hit the dance floor. GETTING SOME! This guy pretty much single-handedly... First dance! Rihanna, obvs. Last dance photo of the night. Get low! Haha. ...have a dance off! The wedding isn't complete until the bride and groom... ...started to heat up! After dinner the dance floor... ...that I don't know and it makes me go "Oh, this is what getting old feels like!" Everyone dancing to that song that goes "to the left, to the left...to the right, to the right"... ...and stole the bride and the groom for a dance! Shortly after hitting the dance floor... First dance! Just after midnight, someone got the great idea to string together a bunch of glow sticks... ...handing out glow stick necklaces! There was a bridal conga line processing that made the rounds... First dance. So much fun! Twisting and Shouting. Then we danced the rest of the night! Ellen doing the Happy Snoopy! I got sucked into a congo line! Congo-selfies are expert-level difficulty! ALL DANCE! Piper & her date! Nora & Sam! Gurj & Quinn. Mer & Ellen. Sarah & Andrew. After the first dance, the dance floor opened up! First dance. Yay. ...but closer inspection revealed that Marina was just standing on Dave's feet. Haha. Dave took Marina out onto the dance floor. At first glance it looked like they were doing some kind of crazy-synchronized rehearsed dance routine... The band knows how to get a crowd dancing. 1am and the dance party was still going strong. My parents cutting some serious rug. My dad is ALL about the hustle. Yes! First dance! Nothing is cuter than a bunch of little kids just feeling it on the dance floor. Amy rushing to the dance floor in order to witness... Faces like this. Around 10pm, the DJ announced that the next song would be the last song of the night and everyone hit the dance floor for one last dance. ..The Electric Slide! After dessert, the dance floor heated back up. This time it was due to the other song that all wedding DJs will eventually play... I want you to know
I said I want you to know right now, yeah!
You been good to me baby
Better than I been to myself, hey! hey!
An if you ever leave me
I don't want nobody else, hey! hey!
I said I want you to know-ho-ho-hey!
I said I want you to know right now, hey! hey! Matthew and Kent dancing it on out. Everyone always jumps around and throws their hands up in the air and dances their asses off. On with the dance party! My favorite part of all weddings is when the DJ invariably plays Shout by The Isley Brothers. ...and Scott and Erika took the dance floor solo for their "first dance." Sooooo good! Abbey with her dad! While Scott danced with Erika... Everybody crowded around the dance floor and Scott showed off his moooooves. Everyone formed two lines, held hands... ...and made a tunnel for Emma and Rob to walk through! Hahaha. After the cake, the entire party hit the dance floor. Congrats, you two! Awwww. ...had their first dance as hubby and wife! Gene, Gene, Dancing Machine! The crowd wasn't having that and they pushed him back out there to cut some more rug! Look! There's Anna (the bride!) on the left! (Glad to see I at least managed to get a few pics of at least one of the two people who just got married!) Woooo, party! I guess I didn't take any pictures during dinner - so let's jump ahead an hour to the dancing! More action photos of the bride and groom dancing! ...one of the groomsmen who busted out THE WORM! That's my kind of dude. I love this photo of Tara and Greg laughing about... "I did NOT smash the cake into your face! I gently smooshed it! Yes, there is a difference!" Couples Only! Tara and Greg danced while... Hahahaha. Awwwww. Including the tiniest flower girl (Greg's neice) who wanted to dance with only him! When I was dancing with Tara, Meredith snagged my camera off the table and managed to get one nice photo of the two of us before we noticed her and... Tara and Greg's first dance. The first dance! The first dance as hubby and wifey. Hahaha. Look at my mom excited and looking all eight years old.
