Listen, do you hear the sound of wedding bells? It’s that time of year again. Wedding invitations are arriving in the mail while anxious brides and grooms are eagerly making preparations for their big day.
One of the most memorable moments of every wedding happens after the actual ceremony. The first dance. All eyes are on the happy couple as they glide or do their best to glide, across the dance floor. It’s a moment captured not only in time, but on everyone’s cell phone, just waiting to go viral on social media.
