You’ve probably seen some choreographed dances like this one on You Tube. They are great and are sure to keep you’re guests talking about your wedding for years to come!

But if you are wanting something a little more subdued, try Dancing Together, a 90-minute DVD, designed for couples who may have limited time or budgets to prepare for their first dance. ($24.99 plus shipping.)

For 10 years, Julee Mertz and Dave Rentauskas have been working with couples preparing for their first dance at their weddings. They have found there are a few fundamental moves which couples may string together to create a dance that is impressive, romantic and relaxed. Even if you’ve never danced together before, you’ll look like you’ve been dancing together for years.

You’ve spent countless hours on the details of your wedding. Some of your guests have traveled long distances to witness your vows of marriage. You look beautiful as you walk down the aisle…you’re groom beams as he looks at you. The minister asks everyone to be seated after you arrive at the front of the church and your father gives you a tearful kiss on the cheek. It’s now the biggest moment of the day…”Do you Dashing Groom take Beautiful Bride to be your wedded wife. The guests wait…they see your lips moving, but what did he say?

Oops! No one thought to mike the bride and groom! It happens all the time. The minister is miked, but often times the sound person at your ceremony site or your dj neglects to make sure that at the very least the groom is wearing a lapel mike (lavaliere). Make sure to discuss this important detail with whomever will be providing the sound or music for your ceremony.
