    We're not a traditional couple by any means really but we are still having a first dance.
    Our song we've picked is, Kiss - Forever🖤

    We didn't have a dance, but we have been taking lessons for a couple years for fun. If we'd had a dance, we would have picked Get Lucky, so that we could show off our merengue skills! Smiley winking

    Definitely!!! I've had the song picked out since the day we got engaged. We're not too excited about being the centre of attention, but I still can't wait for this dance.

    We'll have one. I think it's a nice moment despite having all eyes on you. But what else is new at a wedding?
