Chatty Cathy's during the first dance?

M - I've definitely seen this before. I'm known to be the one to shush people at our table

I really wasn't sure if it was trhe fact that we just kind of showed up in the middle of what a normal wedding timeline would be, so people were just trying to get their first drink, but I was pretty horrified. Like, standing in front of me (I'm 5ft tall) and yelling about their new job! SHE'S DANCING WITH HER DAD!

That would've made me so upset but I guess the bride and groom don't really notice since like you said we're distracted. as a guest it's annoying to have to witness that kind of disrespect though.

I usually don't talk. If I need to, I whisper or walk away. I am all about keeping dances short though because I find they terribly awkward and boring. It's one part of my wedding I am not looking forward to. Especially my momma's boy FH dancing with FMIL to I Hope You Dance. I'm really going to have to work to keep my eye rolling in check.

That is so rude

I went to a wedding once where I'm pretty sure I was one of the ONLY ones watching those dances- especially the parent ones. Everyone else was walking around, mingling, getting drinks, etc. It was SO rude. I felt so bad for the bride and groom.

I hate when people do this!!! It's happened at pretty much every wedding I've been to... I always stare at them and hope they'll get the hint to shut up.

Ugh! So rude. I will admit, I'm a shusher. Zip the lip...these are first dances people.

Elyse, I agree, shorten up all the songs, that's what these guys did on all of them, but two seconds into each song people were yelling! Two kids were on the dance floor - not technically in the way, but where are your parents?! I was looking at our father/daughter dance photos and maybe one person has a toe on the dance floor.

People talked all the way through our first dance. I could hear chatter clearly above the music. When we got our pro pics back, literally no one is paying attention... everyone was straight up backs to the floor, on their phones, talking to people at the bar, etc. It was irritating.

My planner has a note in the timeline to make sure my drink is refilled at that point. I died when I saw it hahaha.

I was talking during my first dance. lol. My whole family is chatty but I couldn't hear them in my bubble with DH. It didn't bother me. We were laughing because we kept not listening to the song then I couldn't figure out how much longer was left. At one point we thought it was over and it wasn't.

Hahaha Elyse I had to keep my eye rolling in check for that dance too. My BM ended up distracting me because I was definitely struggling.

The last 2 weddings I went to (besides my own), there were people talking during the dances, but not super loud or obnoxiously. I don't expect people to be watching silently the whole time, ain't nobody want to watch all that. People were probably talking during my first dance, I don't remember. I know I was talking to DH.

Most weddings I have attended no one payed attention to the first dance.

Most weddings ive gone to everyone talks during the dances, i think people have short attention spans and feel awkward watching two people dance. i hate to admit i totally guilty of talking through a first dance at my friends wedding, i kept my volume low though

Not a big deal. I'm usually cheering or making a comment on the what's happening. I was at a wedding where we had to stand for god knows how many dances and ppl started complaining about that. That's where the whispering and murmuring came to play.

I couldn't hear, if anyone was talking during our dance. I do know that a lot of our guests crowded around the dance floor, with their phones/cameras for photos/video, and no one sitting down could see. My own (disabled) father had to get up from his seat and walk quite a distance, to try to see; my mother gave up trying to find a spot to see over everyone's heads. Our photographer took shots of them - they were two people deep. I thought that was really rude.

Well, just like Chrissy, I was talking during my first dance, lol. After two or three minutes we started joking about how the song was longer than we thought it was. And I've definitely talked during first dances, but it's usually low and to say things like "I love the song they chose! Aww they're tearing up!" That's allowed, right? lol
