Fall Wedding Season
Well, it’s back to school time and the last of my Summer brides and grooms have gotten married. It was a whirlwind of a season and amid the hustle and bustle and blast of summer heat we had fun!
But now Fall is in the air and I must say I’ve watched over the years as Fall weddings have become more and more popular. I don’t know if it’s the recession or global warming but a lot of my couples have told me that they feel it’s just all around better for everyone to have that big day in September, October or November.
It’s my favorite time of year… I love the sounds, sights and smells of Fall. Just yesterday I made homemade apple raisin spice cookies as if willing the weather to change and the leaves to turn.
Right now I’ve got a lot of happy Fall brides and grooms, dads and daughters and moms and dads dancing away for that big day and here’s a sampling of what some of them are working on…
Bride and Groom First Dance
Getting married September 19th 2009 at the Crown Plaza this bride and groom are dancing to the song “Only You” by Josh Radin. They’re coming down to the wire and this wonderful couple, who have known each other since they were teenagers, have combined a foxtrot with a night club 2-step to show off a traditional look to their crowd but also have the fun of an intimate dance that feels cozy with each other.
Getting married October 9th 2009 this bride and groom will be dancing to “By Your Side” by Sade at the Westin South Coast Plaza. They started early since they’ve got challenging work schedules to juggle and they’re on their fourth lesson tonight and doing a great job with their four foxtrot and three rumba moves. His frame is impeccable and she is following now with graciousness and style.
Father/Daughter Dance
This dad and daughter are doing a dear dance to “I Loved Her First” on September 27th 2009. They are actually partners in a business together and I have to say that if their business partnership is as fun and fullfilling as their dance partnership well then they are rich indeed! She follows well with her tinkling laugh breaking out every couple of minutes as her dad masterfully leads her through their simple but lovely dance. They agree on just about everything from what steps to learn to the order of their choreography and I can tell they’re two peas from a perfect pod!
