The "first dance" is a traditional moment during a wedding reception where the newly married couple shares their first dance together as a married couple. This dance often symbolizes their love and commitment to each other, creating a memorable experience for both the couple and their guests. The song chosen for this dance is usually meaningful to the couple, reflecting their relationship. Typically, the first dance takes place after the wedding ceremony and is often followed by other dances, such as those with parents or the wedding party. The DJ or live band usually plays a romantic song, and guests often gather around to watch and celebrate this special moment.
