    Long! Our song is just under 3 minutes, and we learned a choreographed dance for it, so we’re going for the whole thing. 😊

    We are doing two songs! We are starting with a fast song and then doing a slow song. They will be the full length.

    Haven’t talked to our DJ about it, but probably will cut it down some. I don’t think guests wants to watch us dance for 3-4 full minutes. Plus we are not much into dancing.

    I'm sure we will cut down the song to make it shorter.

    We haven't fully decided on our first dance song yet, but we will dance the whole song.

    We are dancing our song and then breaking into a waltz of one of our favorite operas - so long!

    Our song is about 5 minutes. It's not a song you would think of as a first dance song, but its a song that we love. We actually are taking dancing lessons, so we know how to move through it. SO it will not be 5 minutes of us just swaying and people watching us.

    I agree!!!! It’s super awkward as a guest and I can only imagine what it’s like on the other end. We will have our first dance after father daughter and mother son dances and when we get to a nice part in the first dance we will invite other married couples to join us on the dance floor with our song. Help break the ice and get people on the dance floor

    We will probably do a full song... we are doing dance lessons prior, so might as well get our money's worth

    Probably short - my fiancé doesn't like to dance at all so it's going to take a lot to get him out there to begin with! We might need a dance lesson lol!

    Haven’t decided on that yet. Our first dance will be to Ed Sheeran’s “perfect.” We are learning to waltz for the first part of the song!
