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!

So Beautiful by Savage Garden, it is an album track that I just randomly heard one day and it was perfect, not a big fan of the band generally.

'Use Somebody' by Kings of Leon, not for the words but it was playing when DH first said he loved me. We followed it with Foo Fighters 'Times like these'

Caravan of love - The Housemartins

God Only Knows by the Beach Boys.

Didn't have one - thank goodness! Evening receptions/dances aren't compulsory.

supersonicginandtonic · 02/06/2025 22:42

We had you're the one for me, fatty, by Morrisey. We'd both put weight on since we met.

Nobody does it better, Radiohead's version.

Love is Easy by McFly

Endofyear · 02/06/2025 22:54

Eternal Flame by the Bangles. We didn't actually choose a song so Best Man requested it, I thought it was a pretty good choice! My sister suggested Too Much Too Young by the Specials because we were 18 and 21 and I was 5 months pregnant 😂

Mudflaps · 02/06/2025 22:54

I read the title as what was the first song I ever danced to with a guy which was Drive by The Cars back in 1986, first dance at our wedding was I'm a believe by Smash Mouth (from Shrek), it suited us and we'd a big band with a 10 piece brass section which carried it off brilliantly.

Perfect day by Lou Reed

AWanderingMinstrel · 02/06/2025 22:57

It’s that old devil called love - Alison Moyet version

Endofyear · 02/06/2025 22:57

There's a beautiful song by Bruce Springsteen called If I Should Fall Behind, would be perfect for a wedding ❤️

Sunshine on Leith by The Proclaimers as we had a Hibs theme for the wedding.

Our second dance was Iris by Goo Goo Dolls which is what I had always wanted for our first dance and that’s the one when the other couples joined us on the dancefloor.

The Power of Love - Frankie Goes to Hollywood

Thinking out loud by Ed Sheeran.

OB1Kenobi · 03/06/2025 18:26

We had Ten Storey Love Song by The Stone Roses followed by Fight for your Right by the Beastie Boys when everyone joined us on the dance floor.

WillimNot · 03/06/2025 18:29

Dennis Brown, Ain't That Loving You

It's a personal fave of ours and my DHs mum loved it who is sadly no longer with us

LLM21 · 03/06/2025 18:30

Hooked on a feeling by blue swede, not a typical wedding song but we loved it!

Myles smith , stargazer would make a great wedding song too

MannyTeddy · 03/06/2025 18:39

Heaven by DJ Sammy the slow version. 🥰

Icantfindanewname · 03/06/2025 18:51

Beautiful in my eyes by Joshua Kadison (it's on the same album as Jesse)

Amazed by lonestar. It's now my husband's ringtone...

There won't be a third wedding!!!

Allthegoodusernamesareused · 03/06/2025 18:57

First wedding (25+ years ago) You Do Something To Me by Paul Weller. I still can't listen to it now.

Second wedding (12 years ago) Flowers in the Window by Travis. I've never heard of anyone else having it for their first dance, but we both love it.

Because you loved me - Celine Dion. (I'm everything i am)
