Traditions

There is no shortage of traditions associated with weddings. Bridal showers, bachelor parties, tossing bouquets and garters, the cutting of the cake, and so on are just a few examples. It seems that nearly every aspect of a wedding is steeped in tradition and ceremony, the original meanings and significance of which are now lost to the ages. But there is one tradition whose significance is not lost on anyone. Its importance is so intuitive and universal that it transcends the barriers of culture and language and time. It is the tradition of the first dance.

A Relationship in a Microcosm

The qualities that make for a good relationship on the dance floor are the same qualities that make for a good relationship in life. To offer firm support is the secret to a stable dance frame. To develop sensitivity to the subtle changes in your partner's movement is the key to effortlessly moving as one. The first dance between a couple who has just gotten married is a chance for them to demonstrate those qualities in the microcosm of the dance floor. It is a rare license to share publicly the intimate bond that holds them together. 

The Ultimate Wedding Investment

Those who attended the wedding might not remember every detail twenty years later, but they will remember how the couple danced as though they were floating weightlessly across the floor. When a couple works together to learn a dance for their wedding, it is an investment not just in the wedding, but in the relationship. To learn how to move together in harmony without stepping on each other's toes will not only help make the wedding magical, it will help make the rest of the marriage magical as well.
