After we finished dancing with our moms, our reception became a full on dance party. Brother-In-Law Meerkat started his own version of a train and went around the tables snagging people as we made our way back out to the dance floor.
Once we had everyone out there, they really started to let lose singing and dancing. I can't even begin to tell you all the amazing memories we made out on the dance floor that night. I can still hear Stacey the Makeup Fairy and Sister-In-Law Meerkat singing at the top of the their lungs "save a horse, ride a cowboy".
Even Mr. Meerkat got in on the dancing aside from the fact he tells me all the time he is not comfortable dancing.
After we had all been shaking it on the dance floor for a while, one of our bartenders started to prepare the special treat we had arranged for our guests - flaming Mayan coffee.
It's basically the same anise liquor based Mayan coffee that Mr. Meerkat had each night at the resorts piano bar but with the main difference being they add a flaming tequila mixture to the top of the drink so that when they hand it to you it is on fire.
While everyone was taking a little breather to enjoy their drinks, our DJ started up a special request of Kari's - Thriller by Michael Jackson. Once my brother-in-law heard it, him and Kari were out on the dance floor to show us how it was done.
And I have to be honest I couldn't resist getting in on it either but these two put me to shame! They were simply awesome out there.
It didn't take long to get everyone out on the dance floor again.
Shaking their butts and just having a good ol' time.
As you may have guessed from the picture above Mr Meerkat and I stole the show on this one. Who knew the two of us together could rock a dance floor.
There were so many amazing memories we made out on the dance floor at our reception but I think one of the moments that stands out in my memory the most has to do with the song Sexy Bitch by David Guetta.
Remember back when I was telling you about our drive to the ceremony site? I made a passing reference to how funny the drive over was but I saved the full story for this post. Let me introduce you to Kari the Hair Fairy's better half and our sexy bitch - Wilderness Keith.
While Kari and Keith rode with all us girls over to the ceremony site, he was a little out numbered being the only guy in the van. And us girls, as usual, were all being silly telling each other how pretty we looked. Leave it to Keith to one up all of us. He held up his beer and said with a huge smile on his face "You know whose a sexy bitch?" (to which we all just stared at him for the answer) "I'm a sexy bitch". Well our van just erupted into laughter and it became a running joke.
So when Kari tipped off our DJ to play Sexy Bitch by David Guetta, you can only imagine the response it got from all of us. The end result was Keith busting out some crazy, sick moves while sounded by a circle of us ladies dancing around him. It. Was. Epic. To this day, when ever people talk about our wedding that is one of the stories that gets retold.
