Inspired by another thread... what was your first dance song?

Mine was Bright Eyes - First Day of My Life

We also had 'Let’s Stay Together' by Al Green.

I like that it's quite honest. It was also easier to dance to than other stuff we considered 😂

The One - Kodaline 😊

Love Song for a Vampire by Annie Lennox. I think everyone thought we were “dead” weird 🤣. My DH wanted a stupid ironic Beck song because he’d joked about it with his teenager mates. Because that’s appropriate… so I chose. And I chose what to me is the most painful love song.
Sums up my relationship too.. until it doesn’t any more. Should have let him have his stupid song!

I Love You Always Forever by Donna Lewis.

This Strange Effect by The Kinks

Anyone know it? Because I don't think many people at our wedding did. Despite other bands covering it. One of my favourites.

I just can't stop loving you- MJ

All of our songs were dance songs and we couldn't find one that was suitable as a first dance. We both love MJ and this was my husbands fave song so we had that

I want to grow old with you by westlife.

but it wax nearly 20 years ago and we were young. I wouldn’t choose it now.

To Be Loved by Jackie Wilson.

Philandbill · 04/09/2022 00:23

We had a barn dance so I have no idea. Lots of people up and dancing at once. 😁

You never can tell- Chuck Berry
It raised a lot of laughs because I was 18 when we got married.

MummyInTheNecropolis · 04/09/2022 00:30

I’m not married but my best friend had it must be love by madness which I thought was a brilliant choice

This old heart of mine-Rod Stewart version

Macaroni1924 · 04/09/2022 00:41

Love reading all these choices so many good ones!
we had snow patrol chasing cars. Not a snow patrol fan but loved this song and came on when trying on wedding dress and then when buying my shoes so figured it was a sign 🤣

mrstea301 · 04/09/2022 00:47

I love hearing what people have for first dances!! Ours was At Last, felt appropriate as we'd been friends for years before we got together!

deflatedbirthday · 04/09/2022 00:48

We had the theme from The Land Before Time sung by Diana Ross (If we hold on together). We walked down the aisle to a beautiful piano version.

soupmaker · 04/09/2022 01:03

@Halstead us too. Everyone loved it and laughed with us.
