Wedding dances have been a part of celebrations since the days of European royalty, where guests would dance to honor the newlyweds in fancy ceremonies.
Over time, regular people started dancing more, especially in the 1800s when the bride and groom would have their first dance together, sometimes with “scandalous” dances like the waltz.
Nowadays, though, no one really knows what to expect in terms of dances on the “big day”.
This tradition became a big part of wedding receptions, with couples choosing romantic songs, often from movies.
With the rise of the Internet, couples began getting inspiration from various sources, including rock and country music.
Now, the first dance has become even more special, with some couples turning it into elaborate performances after months of practice.
Social media has showcased unique dances, like an African-inspired routine, and even famous couples have been surprised with their song choices.
Ultimately, the first dance is a personal moment for the couple, whether slow and romantic or a lively dance with everyone joining in, symbolizing their love and commitment to each other.
This video shows the beautiful relationship of a bride to her stepfather.
They chose ‘Here Comes the Hotstepper’ as their dance piece during the epic dance showdown.
The bride and her stepdad began doing fist pumps as soon as the beat started.
Slowly but surely, the 88-year-old stepfather was trying to execute the dance steps as planned.
Thankfully, the groom’s sister was able to capture the beautiful moment between the two.
Doing his simple dance move, the bride’s stepfather captures everyone’s attention.
Given his age, his dedication to being on his A-game on his stepdaughter’s wedding day was truly evident.
It’s definitely one beautiful moment that everyone will surely remember and look back at during family gatherings.
Just a few seconds after grooving to the music, another dancer came in to join them.
Still in their one, two, three, and four basic steps, the three joined forces.
Then soon after the third dancer, more and more dancers joined the dance party!
A huge circle was eventually formed in the middle, they were all happy, smiling, and giggling. Just simply enjoying the very moment as a family.
It actually looked like everyone got on their feet and joined the fun dance party started by the bride and her stepfather.
It’s incredibly touching to witness the bride and her 88-year-old stepfather sharing a dance at the wedding.
Despite his age, he takes her hand with a smile, showing that love knows no bounds.
Their dance is a beautiful testament to the bond they share, proving that family goes beyond blood ties.
In that moment, it’s clear that family is defined by the love and connection we have with one another, regardless of biological relationships.
It’s a heartwarming reminder that true family is formed through love, care, and cherished moments like these.
In just a matter of 2 weeks, the video of their dance has already been viewed tens of thousands of times.
“This is The Howard Stein Dance. If you know you know. After 88 years, this is the only dance move he knows. Who needs more dance moves when the one you’ve got brings everyone together,” the bride wrote in the video’s description.
Guess a family that dances together stays happy forever.
