Do You Know About the "First Dance"?
The First Dance is the dance the bride and groom share for the first time as a married couple at their wedding.*

The First Dance at a wedding symbolizes the beginning of a new life the couple will walk together. In the Western world, it is a traditional ceremony as important as the cake cutting.**

With many guests watching, the first dance as a married couple is a touching scene for both the dancing couple and the guests.♡
An Important Ceremony at the Wedding. I want to dance like Belle from Beauty and the Beast!♡♡
Starting with a Last Dance with Dad.*
Before dancing the First Dance with her partner, it is also traditional to have a last dance with dad.♡
Just like the wedding march. Let's start with the last dance between father and daughter...♡
"Thank you, Dad, for everything since I was little.♡ The first dance partner was you, right?♡"
Dancing slowly to the rhythm. A last dance as "daughter" filled with gratitude.**
After the Last Dance, It's Time for the First Dance!♡
Once the last dance as "daughter" with Dad is over, it's time for the First Dance as the "bride."♩
Just like the wedding march, the bride is handed off from her father to her partner.
The Bride's Happy Expression♡
The happy aura of her smile makes everyone watching feel happy too!♡
With a look that clearly shows how much she loves him, Dad entrusts his daughter, wiping away tears.
While dancing, she whispers words of love from him...♡ May they be together forever!♡
Prepare Special Dance Shoes♡
What kind of shoes should we choose for the First Dance?♡ I want to pick a wonderful pair!♡
Elegant & classy with lace heels. If they come with straps, there's no worry about them falling off!♡
For brides who love intense dancing or have trouble with heels, wedding-themed Converse sneakers are recommended.♩
Hospitality for Guests♡ Ideas for Dancing Together♩
Let's take a break from cramped formal shoes! Prepare a shoe box for the guests.*
Let them swap into comfortable beach sandals! This also serves as a nice little gift for the guests.♩

A midi-length dress has such a fluffy look when you twirl!♡
A slit dress is sexy & elegant.**
A front-open dress eliminates worry about tripping!♡
The Dreamy First Dance.** Since it's not common in Japan, I want to try it!♡
The time they spend practicing will surely become a memorable time.♡
