It was fun and most people jumped up and made a joke about it. I'm thinking about doing something like that as we are not having a wedding party dance either.Thu, 24 Jul 2008 23:17:50 GMTBelramhttp://forums.canadianbride.com/Topic433953-8-1.aspxThanks ladies for all your help.

Half the people we on the dance floor the very first song! It was awesome. I believe their first song was "The wanderer" don't remember who it is by. They were a wicked band though and people were on the dance floor all night! Wouldn't have done it any other way.Thu, 17 Jul 2008 14:19:10 GMTscraggleshttp://forums.canadianbride.com/Topic433953-8-1.aspx[quote][b]EngdInMex (7/15/2008)[/b][hr]Absolutly, without a doubt, "Shout" by the Isley Brothers.<P>There was no one song that got more people dancing than that one at our reception.

They were twisting for the centerpiece giveaway and DH and I judged. It worked, everyone was up dancing and once they were up most people continued dancing.
