At the evening celebrations, the bride and groom traditionally dance first on
their own to a waltz. However, as ballroom dancing is not so popular these days,
the newlyweds usually dance to a favourite romantic song.
During the playing of
this song, it is traditional for the groom to dance with his new mother-in-law
and then with his mother, while the bride dances with her new father-in-law and
then with her father.
The best man also joins in dancing with the chief
bridesmaid and the ushers with the other bridesmaids when the bride and groom
first change.
After the first dance, all the guests are invited to join the
newlyweds on the dance floor.
