Journey Of A Thousand Miles: Our Unchoreographed First Dance

Del Sol Photography

Throughout our planning Mr. Meerkat and I debated back and forth on choreographing our first dance vs taking the lets just wing it approach. I moaned and whined to you about wanting a up beat, get the crowd cheering dance but in the end we totally went for the wing it option. And you know what? Our first dance turned out even better than I had imagined it choreographed.

I think one of the reasons was the song we chose - All or Nothing by Theory of a Deadman.

So many of the things said in the song reminded me of how Mr. Meerkat and I meet and fell in love. It was so perfectly us I don't know how I didn't see it from the beginning.

I guess I should let the photos and song speak for themselves.

When I first saw you standing there

You know it was a little hard not to stare

So nervous when I drove you home

I know being apart is a little hard to bare.

Send some flowers to your work in hopes

That I'd have you in my arms again

We kissed that night before I left

Still now that's something

I could never forget

Del Sol Photography

You've got all that I need

Looking at all or nothing

Babe it's you and I

With you I know that

I am good for something

So lets go give it a try

We got our backs against the ocean

It's just us against the world

Looking at all or nothing

Babe it's you and I

Lets take a chance go far away today
And never look back again
Since I said I loved you in Las Vegas
It's never been the same since then

You've got all that I need
Looking at all or nothing
Babe it's you and I

Del Sol Photography

With you I know

I am good for something

So lets go give it a try

We got our backs against the ocean

It's just us against the world

Looking at all or nothing

Babe it's you and I

Looking at all or nothing

Babe it's you and I

Del Sol Photography

This is it nothing to hide

One more kiss never say goodbye

This is it babe your all mine

Looking at all or nothing

Babe it's you and I

I know that I am good for something

So lets go give it a try

Del Sol Photography

Looking at all or nothing
Babe it's you and I
With you I know that
I am good for something
So lets go give it a try

We got our backs against the ocean
It's just us against the world
Looking at all or nothing
Babe it's you and I
Looking at all or nothing
Babe it's you and I

As the last notes of our first dance faded away, something happened that I never thought would have happened in a million years....
