My Life as a Country Song – Why Don’t We Just Dance, Josh Turner
Guess the little bitty living room aint gonna look like much
When the lights go down and we move the couch its gonna be more than enough
For my two left feet and our two hearts beatin’ nobody’s gonna see us go crazy
My husband and I are at the age that everyone we know is either getting married or having babies. The number of weddings we’ve gone to together in the three years we’ve known one another is more than either of us attended prior to that time. One good thing about going to that many weddings is that you learn the good, the bad and the ugly things which can be done.
One of the things that I decided was that first dances are mostly snooze fests. The couple chooses a 5 minute long song, puts their arms around each other, and rocks back and forth while people are STARVING. It’s very special for them, but after about 30 seconds the crowd is ready for the next thing. So I decided mine would not be like that – and took my fiancé along for the ride.
I did give him a choice – I’m not that much of a slave driver! We could do a real bona fide dance – like a waltz, or we could do some crazy choreographed dance. He chose the former. We figured out our song and I went on the internet to figure out what dance to do. We came up with the Viennese Waltz. There were bunch of instructional videos on You Tube, so we learned how to dance from the internet.
Our living room was actually empty at the time, and also didn’t have curtains. Jason didn’t want to learn to dance in front of the whole neighborhood, so for a few weeks we’d practice our dance in the dark in our living room. Sometimes it was frustrating, but others it was so much fun. And it was a huge hit at our wedding. I don’t think those people were bored for our first dance!
