The Hardest Wedding Decision Yet

There's so many decisions to be made when planning a wedding. Everything from the font on invitations down to linen options requires an extensive thought process. But I have to say that choosing a first dance song has been the most teeth pulling decision yet.

Mr. Golden and I wanted a song that really summed up our feelings about each other and our relationship. Some songs were too over played, others didn't really "speak" to me, and then there were some that were too..."fairies and unicorn-ish". Now don't get me wrong, I love me some fairies and unicorn songs, but our relationship is NOT fairies and unicorns {I'm just keeping it real here! lol}. Our relationship is a work in progress, like all relationships should be. They need constant tending and nurturing {for better or worse, right?}

With that being said, we finally found the song that fit us and the crazy thing is that it had been staring us in the face for years {magic happens when you actually listen to lyrics!}. I'm not going to reveal what song it is just yet, but at some point I would like to compile all the songs we've finalized and put them on a cd similar to the ones below. Hmm, do I have another favor added to my list?

Group Participation Dance Anyone?

Talking about group participation dances will quickly split a room full of people up and have it looking like a dodge ball tournament. People either love them or hate them and there's usually no in between. I happen to love group participation dances. It's almost part of my culture!

Mr. Golden and I laugh about all the songs we listen to that demands us to do something, "pon di river", "parachute"," log on", "dutty wine", "pat your weave", "lean with it rock with it", etc. It's truly exercise if you think about it. And although the phrases I just listed are not group participation dances per se... let's just say we will be electric sliding, cha-cha sliding, cupid shuffling, and stepping in the name of love at my wedding because that's just how we do! LOL.

The very latest of group participation dances is the "Go Hard or Go Home" dance and when momma golden saw it, she said add it to the list! It is to the Mary J. Blige's "Just Fine" song. Here's a little clip of it:



So what's you take on participation dances??? :-)
