Story Behind the Picture

Yes, that is me on stage dancing with a skinny, old Jamaican man on our honeymoon. No, he is not groping me (despite the fact that it totally looks like he is).

Our honeymoon was filled with lots of love, food, sleeping, shows, and fun. We had a great time in Jamaica and were very blessed to be able to go there. During the day, the resort was filled with a lot of lounging around by the pool, going on excursions, or engaging in some sort of water activity they had to do. Or, if you're like us, staying out of the heat and humidity because, honestly, my body just can not handle it!

At night the resort takes on a whole new level of awesomeness. Late night dinners were often followed by shows to watch. Some of them are guest-centered (like live gameshows) while others are where the professionals entertain. The picture above is from the cultural show where they explained a little bit about the history of Jamaica through song and dance.

Obviously, it got to a point where the little old man you see came out into the audience to pick someone to "join" them on stage. Crazy, I know. The first time he came out, he picked a man that sat behind us. My husband and I were so glad that he didn't pick him because my husband seriously has NO rhythm! Once the man was finished dancing on the stage, the little old man came up, grabbed my hand, and led me on stage to dance with him! It was definitely a little crazy.

Next thing you know, I'm up there shaking my booty and people are cheering like crazy! My husband managed to get out his camera and take this picture before it ended. He had a short video clip, but it doesn't show much of the dancing since it was too late at that point.

So, that's the story behind the picture...a little crazy, right?!
