Short first dance. Just enough to enjoy the emotion of having just said "I Do" and to get video and great pictures.

In my opinion I say short, and definitely have my DJ fade it out to something not so "serious" it is a special moment but also don't want to bore my guests. Just enough to enjoy the moment and have the photographer snap a bunch of awesome pics!!

The question is IF we are doing a first dance, but if we do, definitely under 2 minutes.

I’m thinking short because my fiancé is worried because he isn’t the best dancer.

Probably gonna be short, my FH isn't keen on dancing but has agreed to do the 1st dance, so I'm not gonna push it too far.

We did pretty much the full 3 minutes, but had an "out" signal pre-arranged with the DJ. It was the only special dance we did and the two of us enjoyed talking to each other having "our moment" on the dance floor.

First dance will probably be a little long. We both love to dance. We will probably incorporate the other dances with it just so we can get them out of the way. But it won't be so long that people will get bored looking at us! lol

We'll have our first dance alone after the wedding, so it will be as long as we want to keep holding each other. 🤗
