What was your "first dance" song?

[InsertSomethingMotivationalHere]

Newly engaged so I am over-thinking all these things at the moment...!
Me and my DP are not lovers of attention but do want to do a "first dance" at our wedding. It might sound an odd choice but I think "Fix You" by Coldplay would be great - lyrics aren't the cheeriest but it's so emotional and has the lovely climactic ending.. is this a rubbish choice? What did you have? We don't have any significant suitable songs that lend themself to the task!!

We had have I told you lately by van Morrison. Fabulous song!

Night & Day sung by Frank Sinatra

Fix You is written about Gwyneth’s father dying so maybe not the most positive story for a wedding?

Tonight Tonight by the Smashing Pumpkins. We panic chose it the night before the wedding,.but it was a great choice

Running Home to You by Grant Gustin - no one's ever heard of it because it was written to be used specifically in a tv show 😂 it's on Spotify and YouTube, but as soon as we heard it when watching the show we knew it was perfect. Which shows don't need to worry if you don't have a certain song that is 'your song' (me and DH didnt) and you will come across something or settle on something you like 😊

I went to a wedding where they had James Taylor- you got a friend- which was rather lovely

Al Green - let’s stay together. Absolutely perfect

If you don't want to do a first dance, don't. We didn't.

Sorry, I see you said you do, I thought you said you didn't!

Ours was Never too Much - Luther van Dross. It was fun and upbeat and everyone joined in so it wasn't too awkward or cringe!

A friend had I Want to Wake up with You by Boris Gardner - it was great. Not too long, simple lyrics but pretty much said it all about being together and a nice beat / rhythm.

I really didn’t want a first dance but I was talked into it, I sort of enjoyed it! We had All You Need Is Love by the Beatles.

Harvest Moon by Neil Young

love that song

Head over feet - Alanis Morrisette

This was a contender for us! Had it on our dinner playlist instead. Lovely song ❤

I had ‘I want to wake up with you’ by Boris Gardner too!

(Divorced now though 😬)

Congratulations 💐
Possibly a quick check into the background of Fix You might be advisable. Keep a note on your phone of any possibles, that helped me!
We had Forever After All by Luke Combs.

Don't Dream it's Over by Crowded House. Not because it was a favourite of ours or had any meaning, it was just the first slowest song we could dance to that came up on our playlist

Morcheeba - Rome wasn't built in a day

Shania Twain - From this moment

We had Dream a Little Dream by The Mamas & The Papas.

Pretenders- Stand by You.

Also congratulations!
(and sorry about my lack of tact)
