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!!

The Only One I know - The Charlatans

How deep is your love from the Bee Gee's

He wouldn't dance

Eric Clapton, Wonderful Tonight

@WesternExpress how funny that the first reply was also my first dance song!

These Arms of Mine 🥰

Double post but Beyond by Leon Bridges was a close second choice!

Al green - let's stay together

We had an amazing band singing In These Arms - Bon Jovi 😊

@XanaduKira Glen Madiros lives in Hawaii with his wife and daughter Lyric. Lyric is on tik tok and sometimes has her dad in her videos (the rest of the time it’s her and her mum with his songs in the background 😂).

Same, 26 years on and I still get a lovely feeling as soon as I hear the opening bars.

It may be Winter outside by Barry White! We had a Christmas wedding!

Love!

Freebird
Lynyrd Skynrd

Not the most conventional of choice but it was quite a while ago!

We had Let's Stay Together by Al Green ❤️

Everything- Michael Buble

We had Bring Me Sunshine by Morecombe & Wise

We had Sit Down by James , everyone danced with us it was magic .

Islands in the Stream by Kenny and Dolly

One of my favourite wedding presents was a copy of the 12" vinyl single of that song!

Ain't Nobody By Chaka Khan. 😊

Glory of Love by Peter Cetera.

It's our song as it has followed us around for years.
Almost had I swear by all 4 one. But our 11 year old looked at us in horror and asked why we'd have Gru's first dance as ours. Then we couldn't get the minion version out of our heads...

We had 'Better' by Tom Baxter. It wasn't a well known song and I loved the sentiment of the lyrics. About 5 months before we got married Boyzone brought out a version of it! I was so annoyed lol!

We had the HC version of 'It Had to be You' for, the same reason- 'When Harry Met Sally' was one of the first films/dvds we watched together (the other was 'Seven' ).

My 'second dance' - was 'Is this the way to Amarillo' with Ds- who was 4 at the time .

Most of out 'favourite' songs were not really appropriate for first dances at as wedding. 'Creep' by Radiohead was vetoed

Ours was "Suddenly" by Billy Ocean

@NeedWineNow a gorgeous sing , a total classic with very beautiful lyrics

That music from The Godfather My ex fancied himself a mafia boss.....
