Driving myself mad looking for “The One”. And also I’ve got my wedding head on so these are the type of things I’m obsessed with talking about at the moment!

Wonderful Tonight - Eric Clapton
came down the aisle to the instrumental piano version

This was mine too.

Billy Joel's version of Just the Way you are. We started feeling a bit silly after after the first minute of rotating slowly in each other's arms though (this was before the days when people learn a dance!) so encouraged everyone to join in after that. I was expecting it to be the most romantic moment of the day but we ended up giggling.

The Luckiest by Ben Folds. Perfect if one of you has been married before!

Never heard this before, it's lovely.

Ray Lamontagne - You Are The Best Thing.
I'd never heard of it but like you was looking for a 'perfect' song as we didn't have a particularly meaningful song to us. Found this on a list and immediately loved it and it now is 'our song'.

Shania Twain - from this moment.

To be honest, we had spent so much time making the play list for the ceremony that we didn’t put as much thought into the dance. It wasn’t as important to us.

When you say nothing at all by Ronan keating. Very fitting, my ex husband did say it best, when he said nothing at all 🙄

I would not recommend 'Stairway to Heaven' for a first dance. My first husband insisted on it, back in 1989 - which was fine to start with, but once you hit 'if there's a bustle in your hedgerow', it just gets harder and harder to dance to. He was a lousy dancer at the best of times!

Luckily I avoided a 'first dance' at my second wedding, which was very low-key. The marriage has lasted a lot longer too! Hope you find a song you love, OP :)

Can't remember. Our DJ was shit. It was over 30 years ago. We were like "Do you have name of song"? DJ "Nope" x50 until he had one we slightly recognised. God he was so bad 😔

Elton John, your song,

That’s was ours too!

GrumpySparkler · 02/06/2025 19:23

God Only Knows by The Beach Boys.

DH and I both love live music and go to a lot of festivals and concerts together, so all of our wedding music was by bands and artists that we'd seen live together.
