+====== Wedding Day Celebration ======
+{{page>wedding-day-celebration-description}}
+===== Detailed Description =====
+This dance was written in 1991 as a wedding for present for Middlesex Morris team founders Sue Jick and Dan Groher.
+==== Choruses ====
+=== First Chorus ("capers") ===
+[[dances:fieldtown:figures:plain-caper|plain capers]]. The stick is raised up in the air on the first one, and clashed tips-butts-tips (forehand-backhand-forehand) on the remaining three. Perform this sequence twice, followed by a [[dances:fieldtown:figures:half-hey|half hey]]. Repeat.
+=== Second Chorus ("short tosses") ===
+One [[dances:fieldtown:figures:plain-caper|plain caper]], then stand in place. The sticking is the same as the first time, but toss the stick to your partner in place of the second clash. (//i.e.,// clash (tips, forehand), toss across, clash (tips, forehand).) Perform this sequence twice, followed by a half-hey. Repeat.
+=== Third and Fourth Chorus ("long tosses") ===
+There are no capers in this chorus--the entire chorus is done standing in place. Think of a 4 beat sequence, where each beat is where a caper was in the "capers" chorus. Here's the breakdown by beat:
+  * First corners toss to each other. Second corners clash with middles.
+  * Second corners toss to each other. First corners clash with middles.
+  * Middles toss to each other. Tops and bottoms clash across (tips, forehand)
+  * Everyone clashes across. (Tips. Tops and bottoms backhand; middles forehand.)
+Perform this sequence twice, followed by a half-hey. Repeat.
