Brian Peutherer and Marion Garrett were married in May 1998, and had a super dance in the evening. However, no-one wrote a dance to celebrate. I was shocked. So I wrote this dance for their first anniversary - Brian And Marion's First Anniversary Dance, or the BAMFAD.
If you try this dance, please let me know how you get on.
