First Dances Are Tear Jerkers

August 31, 2013 • 54 Comments

There is just something about the first dances that always gets me.

The wedding ceremony is a happy celebration of two lives coming together, and I usually keep my composure pretty well unless the vows are really heart-wrenching cough Jon and Stephani cough. The first dances, on the other hand, can be bittersweet and I see them as almost a passing of the torch; parents handing over their most precious treasure. Now that I am a father of two (feels surreal saying that) I totally understand the tears during the dances.

My son is almost 4 and my wife and I know more about him than probably anyone else will and we know what is best for him, or at least we think we know. I've changed his diapers, wiped his tears, read to him, played baseball, killed spiders, celebrated poop and disciplined him. I love him so much and he is my buddy old pal, pal, pal (only he and my wife will get that reference).

When he finally grows up and finds that perfect bride, it's going to be a rush of emotions. Simultaneously having to let go of your little one, but happy that he has found someone that completes him. It's just a lot to take in. If I wasn't completely delusional from lack of sleep as I type this, compliments of our newborn baby girl, I would probably be sobbing.

We dance with our children so much before that wedding day.

I was holding my new daughter today and she was resting on my chest. I slowly swayed back and forth, shushing her; we were slow-dancing.

That dance is sort of the last dance with your baby, saying; I love you and I'm letting you go. New and exciting things are afoot.

But then there is the couple's first dance.

To me, it's like saying; look, I suck at dancing, but I love you so much that I am going to dance with you in front of all these people, even if I make a fool out of myself.
