Here is another example of a wedding tradition in the United States:


It is very common at weddings for a bride and groom, the man and women getting married, to have a first dance. The couple chooses a song that relates to how they feel about one another. It's usually a very slow and romantic song but not always. I've seen many different videos of couples doing a fun and energetic dance routines that everyone loves! But these types of first dances aren't as common. I can't wait until I get married and have this special moment with someone I love!
