a phiLOVEdelphia story: First Dance as Mr. & Mrs.

We had made our entrance and transitioned into our first dance...did you guess the song?

Despite being the (second) hardest decision of wedding planning, Mr. Turkey and I settled on a song where the lyrics spoke to us - "I Hope That's Me" by Brad Paisley. I already mentioned that we failed to practice for our first dance and although our video made it appear that we knew how to dance, some of the pictures tell a different story.

Now, I could show you just the pretty dance pictures, but because I felt like we made a mistake in not practicing (even a quick practice dance in the living room would have helped), I'm sharing the good with the bad. Enjoy the photos of us looking at our feet and missing each other's hands, along with the ones where we appear to be pros (thanks for catching those fleeting moments, Gabe).

All photos are by Philip Gabriel Photography.

Somebody's gotta scratch your back
The places you can't reach
Say something that'll make you laugh
That's exactly what you need
And I hope that's me, I hope that's me


Somebody's gonna get dressed up
And take you out for Valentine's
Get lots of jealous looks
Thinking that's one lucky guy
And I hope that's me, I hope that's me



And you, you keep on wondering who
Is gonna love you like I already do
And I keep wondering when you'll see
That eventually




Somebody's gonna throw on a coat
When your fever hits a hundred and two
Go down and pick your prescription up
And come home and fix you soup
And I hope that's me, I hope that's me 



Somebody's gonna buy a ring
Somebody's gonna make you cry
Somebody's gonna lift that veil
And get to look into your eyes
And I hope that's me, I hope that's me



'Cause you, you keep on wondering who
Is gonna love you like I already do
And I keep wondering when you'll see
Maybe eventually


Old man on a front porch swing
Looking back on his long life
Glass of ice tea in his hand
Other arm around his wife
I hope that's you, I hope that's me


I hope that's you and I hope that's me
I hope that's you and I hope that's me
I hope that's you, and I hope that's me
I hope that's me


What's your first dance song? Did any of our awkward dance photos convince you to practice?
