    An anniversary dance is when all married couples get on the dance floor to slow dance. The DJ begins by saying, "Any couple married less than a day, leave the dance floor." Naturally, that takes my FH and me off the dance floor. THe DJ will count it down during the song. Eventually, my parents, who have been married 51 years will be left on the dance floor. I will present them with a bouquet. They have never had a real wedding. They eloped. It's our way of saying thanks and recognizing their committment to one another.
