Dance Classes

Every couple dreams of something fun, something elegant or something simply different from 'traditional' weddings. Similarly, we came up with a few 'different' things for our wedding. For example, our wedding card was a personal affair. We made a small booklet of our brief love story and gave it out as a wedding card to close friends and family. We also had early morning dance classes so we could perform a little number during our cocktail party.

I loved our morning intimacies...hanging about on the terrace watching the city wake up, playing with our fingertips while the thick air yawned across us, our quiet voices discussing our to-do list for the day, the comfortable silence during one of us answered a phone call. Most of all, I enjoyed how we helped each other learn the dance steps. I remember times when I rolled into his arm humming the Elvis number and looked into his eyes. His eyes are my pool of calm, reassurance and love. We used to lay on the couch and bean bag drenched in sweat after the dance class recuperating. And even at those time, we wore easy smiles of combined achievement on our faces.

Good start for the wedding, hey?
