Wedding first dance songs.

Currently planning our wedding and wondering what people had as their first dance song?

We don't want anything too cheesy but are open to anything else. We can't dance though so it needs to be slow so we can sway.

Any suggestions?

Let’s stay together - Al Green
Attended a wedding once when the first dance was Love don’t live here anymore (Rose Royce) pretty odd choice!

Blimey, so many to think about! We definitely want something that reflects how we feel about each other. We fell for each other online and fell in love before we met. As soon as we did meet, that was it, we knew we had each found our "one". We have had a few arguments like everyone does, but we truly bring out the best in each other.

I Knew I Loved You by Savage Garden would work.

Dionne Warwick
This Girl’s In Love With You was ours Smile

We had a barn dance for our reception and asked the band to play anything they fancied - they played Moon River. It was perfect.

Livpool · 15/11/2020 11:31

We had Real Love by The Beatles

MsSquiz · 15/11/2020 11:33

We had John Legend - You and I

@Steamfan

Battleship Chains by the Georgia Satellites.
This made me smile. I don’t think my friends and family would even know this song!

Mika happy ending but ours was a bit different as I was told I was going to die within that year of cancer.... I didn’t obviously so ended up being a happy ending!

Mindymomo · 15/11/2020 11:42

We had The Bangles, Eternal Flame, but wished I’d had Endless Love from Lionel Ritchie and Diana Ross.

The day we got married end of August 1990 the day was very hot and everyone stayed out in the hotels lovely gardens. We got to do our first dance at about 9.30 pm to only a few people and the disco ended at 11 pm.

Marilla1966 · 15/11/2020 11:46

An amazing 5 piece rock band sang At Last by Etta James for our first dance. X

Ferrylass · 15/11/2020 11:48

We had Love by John Lennon

SuperbGorgonzola · 15/11/2020 11:49

We had Baby I Love You by the Ramones as I didn't want anything smoochy

SirChing · 15/11/2020 11:57

Ah, I think the pp suggestion of I knew I loved you by Savage Garden may fit the bill. Because it's so so true! Thanks everyone and here's to a long and happy marriage for you all x

We are thinking about our first dance too - our front runner at the minute is queen - your my best friend but there's so many options!

SirChing · 15/11/2020 11:58

@Nhsisfucked I am so so glad that you defied the odds Flowers

Well it surely has to be Electric Dreams Grin

Ignore me. I just checked the lyrics Blush

Petitmum · 15/11/2020 12:47

We met online - DH sent me a "virtual kiss" (2003 Match.com)

Our first dance was to "It started with a kiss" by Hot Chocolate. It was a kind of in-joke for us!

LeslieYep · 15/11/2020 12:58

Come and get your love by redfern(I think!)

Rayna37 · 15/11/2020 13:20

We didn't have one (a song or a first dance). It just felt absurd, I think most couples (bar teenagers) don't actually have "their song" and the whole thing just felt forced and unnecessary.
