The first dance is a special moment of the wedding reception, in which the eyes of all the invited guests are focused exclusively on the newlyweds. For many couples and guests, it is the most important element of the party, providing many emotions. As it turns out, more and more couples choose it only because of the long tradition and pressure from guests.
The first dance – more and more couples are giving up on it
– We decided to dance for the first time precisely because of the guests and the tradition. We wanted to avoid the embarrassing questions “why don’t you dance”, so we decided that we would make a sacrifice for it, even though my husband and I cannot dance – admits Małgosia. – I know that many guests are eagerly waiting for this moment, so we took it as a nod towards them, but I have to admit that it was the first dance that stressed us the most – she adds. As she says, in retrospect, she does not regret having succumbed to the pressure. – We have beautiful photos, and the emotion of our grandparents and parents rewarded us with all the stress – he says.
However, Ola has other experiences, who openly admits that the first dance was one of the most embarrassing moments in her life. – My husband and I both move like pegs. We thought that using the help of professionals who had prepared the arrangement for us would make things a bit easier, but quite the opposite happened – he says. As she says, they mistook the steps for her husband because of their nervousness, which ended in an unfortunate fall. – I don’t know who felt more embarrassed – us or the guests? We tried to feign amusement, but in reality we felt only humiliation, which reminded me of a torn dress all evening, ‘she says.
It was for fear of a similar scenario that Anna decided to skip the first dance during her wedding. – To this day, I remember the embarrassment on the faces of the guests during the first dance of my cousin, who together with her husband tried to dance the already cult arrangement from “Dirty Dancing”. It was supposed to be like from a Hollywood movie, but it turned out like a cheap Polish comedy. Instead of focusing on each other and the romance of the moment, they counted their steps aloud, trying to keep up with the music … – recalls Ania. – Watching the first dances of other young couples I know, I usually felt a burden of embarrassment, so at my wedding I decided to avoid this humiliation – she admits openly.
Kasia decided on a similar solution. “Being the center of attention all evening stressed us enough. Anyway, there was no shortage of stress during the wedding preparations themselves, so in order to reduce the stressful factors a bit, we also gave up the first dance – he says.
Although he admits that they initially intended to dance him. – We even signed up for dance lessons … but two classes were enough for us to know that it would not have the right to go. Already in the gym, in the presence of the trainer herself, we were so nervous that because of my sweaty hands, we had a problem with making the simplest layout. Not to mention trampled toes, she admits. So, instead of the standard first dance, they decided to start the wedding by dancing in a circle with the other guests. – Maybe we did not meet the expectations of the guests, but at least we saved ourselves the embarrassment – he concludes.
