First wedding's first dance was Satie's first Gymnopedie. Only time in my life I ever learned any kind of dance steps was preparing for that, as it's just about a waltz.I should mention we were lucky to get it. We meticulously planned the music months in advance with the DJ who had been recommended, then less than 24 hours before the wedding his wife called to tell us he was going out-of-town to work his sister's wedding, but that he had spoken to the guy he was sending in his stead and there would be no problem. There were problems. Substitute J had no idea what music we had picked out or even how old we were. Needless to say my $150 deposit was the only payment they ever received. I also am (just) a little ashamed to report that on my way out of that town forever a couple years later I evened it up with a little anonymous petty vandalism.
