We say don\u2019t worry about it \u2013 just grin and bear it. First dance songs are usually a classic or traditional standard, and danced in relatively slow motion anyway, so there\u2019s not much risk of embarrassing yourselves. But one trend that\u2019s getting more <a href=\"https:\/\/themanorrestaurant.com\/wedding-venues\/\">popular at wedding receptions<\/a> is the Second Dance.<\/p>\n<p>The Second Dance can be a surprise the bride gives to the groom, a dance for the newly married couple to really enjoy themselves. It can be fun and fast or slower and romantic, but it\u2019s a way that a bride can really show her new husband a good time on the dance floor. It\u2019s also one more time where you two can steal the spotlight together, dancing. If the couple had trouble agreeing on what to play for the first dance, you can use the song that got passed over for the second dance. (In other words, the groom\u2019s choice that he was gallant enough to defer in favor of the bride\u2019s selection!) Whatever song you choose, the Second Dance is another good way for newlyweds to start off their new life together in step.<\/p>\n<p>Have a great day!<\/p>\n<p>Laura<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Laura Madden, Senior Sales Manager, Pleasantdale Ch\u00e2teau The ceremonial \u201cFirst Dance\u201d at a wedding reception often looks uncomfortably like its name implies: The newlyweds are usually nervous and hesitant, even if they took dance lessons a few weeks before their wedding day to be prepared for their pas de deux.
