    As long as our song" In case you didn't know"... takes. I'll savor every second....im sure it will feel like a blink of the eye.

    Short, one of the things that was recommended to me that makes sense to me

    Medium to long. I don't want to rush it!

    Hopefully fading out around 2.5 minutes because neither of us are great dancers and how long are people going to watch us sway back and forth?!

    I wasn't planning on shortening it, but I might have to make a secret signal with my day of coordinator to get it to fade out. I get very anxious in front of people and I do NOT dance in front of people, so I may need to cut out early.
    First dance by the way is "If Only For Now" by Pop Evil.

    We’re considering Let’s stay together- Al green. It’s a relatively short song (3:20) but I may have the DJ. Cut it to a minute and half. I want to party!

    Haven't quite decided. We originally wanted to get dance lessons and put on a show, but those are too expensive.

    We haven't picked a song yet, but will probably be cutting it short. He doesn't like to dance so I don't want it to be too long.

    Short please! By the time it’s time to dance I’m going to be starving and ready to have real fun. So maybe just a couple of minutes

    If I let my fiancé pick our first dance song, it'll be long. His song choice is close to 8 minutes. I would definitely like it to be shorter than that though.

    Cutting it down and fading the song out early. Making it short but sweet.

    The song we chose is about 4 minutes and I would like to cut it but my dad will be singing while we dance so I really want to cherish that moment with my hunny and dance the full length.
