The first time Rich and I danced together was in the parking lot of a convenience store on the campus of a local college. I met him for a drink one evening in the first few weeks of dating. We were driving home {in separate cars}, and he suddenly pulled into said parking lot, opened his door, and turned up his radio to blast LL Cool J's Loungin' {Who Do You Love Remix}…sing it: “Who do you love…are you for sure.” Anyways! He began to dance and got me out of my car to dance. Ridiculously random and insanely sweet, it is a dance I will always remember.

We continue to have impromptu dance parties in our living room, but it is a rare occasion when Rich and I have the opportunity for a nice, close, slow dance. Our love for dancing and music {me the listener/occasional singer, Rich the actual musician} plays a vital role in our relationship, so naturally the first dance and song are important. Surprisingly, we do not have “a song.” You know, the one that every time it comes on the radio I sigh “Ooh it's our song, baby!” Yeah…no. So, here are my current choices for our first dance, in no particular order:

1. Sky to Blue - Phillip Roebuck {I cannot find the lyrics}
2. Stay With You - John Legend
3. Your Smiling Face - James Taylor

Real Simple has some ideas for unusual first dance songs. Perhaps I will check some of those out. Of course, they will not be so unusual anymore if everyone starts using them. Of course, I have James Taylor on my list, so who am I to talk?
