Couples Dance for Bouquet

clong1692 · June 2011

I read an idea a few days ago that I really liked and would like to use at my reception. I'm not keen on doing the bouquet toss at my wedding (I just always felt super awkward and embarassed participating in it when I was single so I don't really want to follow that tradition, no offense to anyone who likes it!) Anyway, the idea was to give away the bouquet, have the DJ call all the married couples to the floor for a dance, and at intervals, call out a number of years to have been married ("Everyone who's been married a year, keep dancing... everyone who's been married five years keep dancing..." etc.) until the last couple is dancing. Then the bouquet would be presented to that couple.
Anyway, I love the idea but I am stumped for a good song! I love classic rock and country, so I am thinking something from one of those genres. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!!

We are doing this as well!! We don't like the bouquet and garter toss. Especially the garter toss. So we saw this idea and thought it was a great replacement. What we are also doing with this is the last couple standing gets the bouquet but also we are asking what their best marriage advice is for us since they have been married the longest.

We haven't picked out a song for it yet either. I was thinking something like Frank Sinatra since there will be many older couples left on the dance floor.
