So did anyone see the Today Show this morning - a couple started
their wedding dance conventionally and then switched to "Baby Got
Back." I hear their video is on YouTube. No interference with the
dress...
I found a really nice piece of music for my first dance, sort of a
spicy tango-sounding waltz called "Los Higuerones." The band decided
they could not do it justice and played another waltz instead. I
found this out at the reception. Oh well...
