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!

Lucky - Jason Mraz

Buddy Holly - True Love Ways. We did a "proper" dance too. Just a very slow rumba - was amazing. I could live those 2.5 minutes over and over if I could.

Barbados by Totally Tropical. (Original version it's been re-made since. ) No slow dance, everyone was out on the floor. Guess where we went for our honeymoon.

Mika - Happy ending, which is a strange choice given the words but we were getting married as I have incurable cancer so sadly felt fitting.

Same

Lovin you by Minni Riperton

God Only Knows by The Beach Boys, but we also had a last dance song planned How Long Will I Love You by Ellie Goulding, all the couples got up and danced, it was such a lovely end to the evening.

The Hokey Cokey and we had everyone join in - I could t stand the thought of awkwardly standing in the middle of everyone slow dancing!

Wish I'd thought of that! We spent hours and hours looking for a song to have our first dance to, eventually found one and now I can't even remember what it was! Definitely wouldn't have forgotten the hokey cokey though 😂

ETA - was so curious I did a quick search of my emails. It was You Make It Real by James Morrison. I'm sure it was lovely 😂😂

Didn’t have one. Both DH and I hate that part of a wedding reception so we didn’t host a dance.

Al Green, Let’s Stay Together. I still get the feels whenever I hear it after 29 years of marriage.

We had this too, always makes me smile when I hear it.

What the World Needs Now but sung by jazz singer Stacey Kent. Sublime….

diggermama · 02/06/2025 21:25

Impossible by Nothing But Thieves. We eloped and danced to it in our hotel room after the ceremony

tivolidancer · 02/06/2025 21:30

Rule The World - Take That.

Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol was a popular choice among friends for first dance back in late noughties.
