What is the anniversary dance tradition?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The reception isn\u2019t just about fun and games<\/a>. There are sweet moments sprinkled throughout the night as well for both the couple and their guests. Married guests, in particular, are honored during the anniversary dance, which is an opportunity to celebrate the themes of marriage like unity, commitment and longevity.<\/p>\n\n

Following the first dance<\/a>, father-daughter dance<\/a> and mother-son dance<\/a>, the DJ or band will invite married guests to the dance floor (including the newly wedded couple) to honor their love and commitment to each other. As the dance proceeds, couples will be excused in order of the length of their marriage until only the couple who has been married the longest is left. It\u2019s a fun way to get guests more involved and maybe even get a few tips!<\/p>\n\n

“Anniversary” \u2013 Tony Toni Tone<\/h4>\n \n

As the name would suggest, this smooth listening R&B hit from the early 90s is the perfect anniversary song. Although it may not be the best for a wedding, it will have you and your partner laughing and dancing together to the repetitive, but endearing chorus, \"It\u2019s our anniversary\".<\/p>\n \n
