Reception

Our Wedding

Last March, I went to a square dance weekend (WASCA) in Alexandria, VA with some of my local square dance friends.&nbsp; While I was there, I noticed a young man&mdash;one of the only other people who looked to be my age&mdash;who looked like a pretty good dancer.&nbsp; He looked pretty cute too.&nbsp; Later on, I saw him sitting down during a break between dances and thought about asking him to dance, but was a little unsure.&nbsp; My friend encouraged me to ask him, so I did and he said yes!&nbsp; We danced one dance together that night, and then the next day I kept my eye out for him and we danced together a couple more times.&nbsp; That night was the end of the weekend and there was a long two-hour dance session before everyone dispersed.&nbsp; Brian and I danced together for the first dance, and then kept dancing together the rest of the night!&nbsp; As everyone was leaving the dance floor, Brian asked me for my phone number and we started texting that night and kept texting the whole week.&nbsp; My square dance club was having a spring dance that next Sunday and Brian drove three hours from Washington, DC to Selinsgrove, PA to go to the dance with me.&nbsp; We continued talking the following week and met up again that weekend to go on a hike and get dinner.&nbsp; We both expressed how much we liked each other and decided to start dating.
