Our song was only 2:30 so we did the whole thing, but we had a choreographed dance, so it wasn't just watching us sway the whole time.

Well the song is about 4 and a half minutes, I considered cutting it but since this will be one of the few just us moments during the reception I think we’ll let it play.

We're going to dance to the whole song, but I think about halfway through, we'll have the DJ invite everyone on to the dance floor to join us. Otherwise, it's just awkward, dancing there while everyone stares at us.

Short! We're not doing a performance or anything and too long might be a bit awkward for both us and the guest!

I know this is sappy, but I would love it if my song was longer. I'm really happy with the song we chose, but it's just shy of 3 minutes. I'm really excited for our dance.. but then when I think about it, I'm exciting for all the dancing in general!

Pro Tip: Anything longer than 2 minutes will feel like an eternity.

We haven't decided but I think shorter than the full song, but probably longer than our parent dances.

I'm going for short. People tend to lose focus if it's not choreographed.

I hadn't really thought of that...was just planning on dancing for the whole song, but I guess I'll see how long it actually is.
