oh wow does that ever make me wish I could dance, or even have the guts to try to pull something like that off!
Bravo!

i love EVERYTHING about this! Her dress, her hair, her tattoos! wee!
My FH is convinced that we should take salsa lessons for the wedding. I think I need to SWING him over to SWING (badum!) because I"m just not sexy enough for salsa… hehe

We're going to have a first swing dance too! Lindy hop to "Popsicle Toes"!
Anie said
Any chance we can get more info on her shoes!
Jenny said
Yes, I request a close up of those shoes!
I really wanted to swing dance but alas – my husband has no rhythm.
Becca said
FYI – my husband has no rhythm either but we took group classes for a couple months and then did 5 weeks of privates to choreograph. It was really fun AND he felt really proud of himself in the end.
Becca said
Hi! That's me!
The shoes are TUK – I got them on endless.com but I don't see them there anymore.
I don't have pro-photos yet but when I do there are definitely close ups of the shoes!
Becca said

GAhhhh! I can't view videos at work, so I'll have to check this out at home.
But how exciting!! We're going to do a swing dance first dance too! We've started swing dance classes (the wedding is next April – getting in early, as I was very nervous about FH's rhythm), and like you Becca, the plan is to have a few private lessons later on to sort out choreography. Suprisingly, FH is picking it up really well and loves it (he even went alone last week while I was away for work…).

OMG, You guys looked so cute! Adam does too have rhythm…he just needed a little guidance to find it.
- BTW, I love the whole outifit too, but the shoes are pretty amazing!
Becca said
Peeps – Chrissy did the awesome choreography for this dance!! NYCers should check her out (http://chrissybridgeman.com/) at You Should Be Dancing (http://www.youshouldbedancing.net/)
(** hope I'm not being too promo-ey but really … we couldn't have had such an awesome wedding – and dance – without the amazing people who helped us **)

a couple people said we shouldn't dance to them or this song but we love it and they find love in the end of the song and what a better way to honor them right?
