"so we take each other's hand, 'cause we seem to understand"

above are a few of the photos taken of the beautiful rosie montoto and handsome babak semnar - now "mr. & mrs. semnar!" i had to share these to show the vibrancy these two brought to their wedding. my husband and i had the privilege of attending their nuptials september 9. i was looking forward to exploring the area where they were tying the knot, southern california wine country north east of san diego. set on a beautiful golf course, the two married under an arbor as the sun was setting behind the mountain ridge - stunning. the party that immediately followed began with what would turn out to be the absolute best "first dance" i've ever seen! rosie (who i met at ucla, as a fellow dancer would dance whenever she had the chance) choreographed a piece for her and her new husband (who was not a dancer - until now!). they started off with a slow dance swaying back and forth (typical to other first dances we've all seen), but quickly broke out into a perfectly synchronized salsa, persian and tango! complete with bob sliding rosie across the floor as their legs weaved an intricate web together. i felt like the dancers in dirty dancing when they're cheering on patrick swayze and jennifer gray in the last dance scene. we were all hootin' and hollerin' - this was one first dance, no one in that room will ever forget! what a great job by bob and obviously a great teacher. congrats to mr. & mrs. semnar. may you continue to dance through life together with such passion. photos above: http://bkiddphoto.com
