My partner and I can't agree about dance lessons. We both def want to do the first dance and I think we should get it choreographed but he reckons we should just make it up ourselves. So, what are the benefits of us getting lessons and having it choreographed? I need some ammo haha.

Hi, this is an interesting question. My first question for you is "Have you ever made up your own dance with your partner before?". If you have, then your partner may feel comfortable doing what he has experienced before, and I say give it a go. If you don't get to an agreed result within a week of rehearsal, then perhaps consider choreographing, as you don't want the frustration of it not coming together to get bigger than it needs to be.
If not, it is your special day, and choreographing your own dance, could be either a fun experience, or it could add additional frustration to achieve the first dance as you would like it to be. If it is important to you, my advice is to express how you feel about the importance of the first dance, and why you would like it choreographed. Use words such as "I feel, I felt and I found" so the focus is on how you feel and it won't come across as you telling your partner what they are not doing, such as "you won't, you can, or you should...".
For example, "I feel having our first wedding dance choreographed will take the stress away from trying to get it right ourselves. And, I felt by having the first dance choreographed, will also give us time to focus on other areas of the wedding that we still have to consider. So I found this to be the best option for us. What do you think?"
See how you go with this approach.
Sincerely, Annette
