Come Dance With Me... Wedding Song #3

Well, it's about time to get back to my "wedding Playlist" blogs and I'm only on song #3 because life's been crazy lately with so much travel. I'm on the plane right now, headed home from Chicago to San Francisco after an amazing weekend with family and friends; cheering Emily on as she completed her very first (of many) marathon(s).
Emily: Chicago Marathon 2013
I cannot continue without saying "CONGRATULATIONS" to Emily for not only finishing the Chicago Marathon with an awesome time, but also beating her dad's time by 10 minutes... GO EMILY!


So back to Nicholas and Berenice's wedding and the song that really got the party started... "Come Dance With Me," recorded by Michael Buble.

It was the perfect song (in my opinion) because it was an American song with a Latin flair and boy, did it ever get everyone out on the dance floor! I could tell immediately that we not only had a great party going but also that we had a "dancing crowd" in our midst. Even our DJ, Brian, mentioned to me in an email a week later that he had just DJ'd at a Wente Vineyards wedding and while it was a "great time", it "wasn't the Ackerman wedding!" What a wonderful compliment!


I don't think anyone could resist crowding onto the dance floor and moving to this song.

The Latin beat, the lyric, and the compelling music were just perfect and I'll never forget it. I was grabbing those "lingering guests" who were reluctant to dance and pulling them out onto the dance floor to dance with me and to be honest, I believe that this was one of many highlights of the California wedding for me.

Below is a link to the song on YouTube as performed by Michael Buble. Enjoy listening to "Come Dance With Me." Dance right where you are as you listen...and anytime the spirit moves you, come find me because I'm ALWAYS up for a good dance party! 


(By the way, I didn't know what the word "Terpischore" meant so I (of course) googled it and this is what I found... "In Greek mythology, Terpsichore "delight in dancing" was one of the nine Muses, ruling over dance and the dramatic chorus." Pretty cool, eh? And now that I know the meaning of that word, I do believe my favorite line in the song has to be:
"Hey there, cutes, put on your dancing boots and come dance with me!
Come dance with me, what an evening for some Terpsichore:"

Dance on, my family and friends...
