Can a Rock Song Be Our First Dance Tune?

 

Our song is more of a rocker than a ballad. Should we dance our first dance to it or choose something slower?

We’ve got two words for you: Rock on! If this song is the one that puts stars in your eyes, then let the DJ spin it. Traditionally first dances are slower songs, but as long as the two of you are comfortable groovin’ to an audience, that’s all that counts.

However, if you are a little self-conscious about hip-hopping on center stage, then have the DJ or band leader introduce the song, state its special meaning and ask the crowd to join the two of you on the dance floor. Either way you swing it, dancing to this tune should rank pretty high on your wedding-day to-do list.
