So its my wedding next week and I’m still in a dilemma over which song to have for our first dance. The one we have chosen so far is an old song and not a typical ‘first dance’ song. I think only older people will really know it as its not a really well known song (although my mum did say it was one of her dads favourites). Now I’m wondering whether to change it to something more well-known.

So...tell me your first dance song and why you chose it. And did you regret it or have a similar dilemma to me i.e. a not typical song? (first world problem i know - this is light-hearted!)

Basically I want you to help me get all romantic and misty-eyed for my wedding!

We had You and Me by Lifehouse

Breathless by Nick Cave.
We were going to go with God Only Knows first but this was a bit more upbeat. Plus we both love Nick Cave

We had Especially For You by Kylie and Jason. I wanted Glen Maderios Nothings gonna change my love for you but DH said no. We were getting married about 15 years after these song were out so they had a bitch of kitch factor that we both liked.

Marvin Gaye - Symphony

FairyDogMother11 · 13/06/2019 08:52

We had the Book Of Love by Peter Gabriel, DH picked it, he isn't traditionally very romantic and when I heard the lyrics I teared up a bit Smile

LynseyLou1982 · 13/06/2019 08:54

We get married in October and we're having The Ramones 'Baby I Love You'

Bethiboo40 · 13/06/2019 09:40

Not mine but I was at a wedding last summer and first dance was I'll be loving you forever - New Kids on The Block. I 😭😭😭😭 it was absolutely beautiful. I never ever cry, I'm known for my hard faced bitchedness, non sentimental personna, 😆

highlighta · 14/06/2019 14:47

What a nice thread.

I had All for Love Byran Adams and Pavarotti version.

For my next wedding (yes pity that first one didnt last) it will be Kodaline. I see it mentioned a few times here, and when I first heard it, my first thought was what a beautiful song it is and perhaps one day....

Mermaidkisses · 04/02/2020 11:09

for us it has to be "Better Half of Me" Tom Walker. It's a 2nd marriage for both of us and we feel so lucky to have found each other

Dita73 · 04/02/2020 11:32

We didn’t have one. I’m not keen on that type of stuff

Scoobydoobywho · 04/02/2020 11:33

You do something to me by Paul Weller.

Electrocute1980 · 04/02/2020 11:36

We had Without You by Mötley Crüe - definitely not typical Grin

I walked down the aisle to an acoustic version of Elvis - Can't Help Falling in Love

MrsS92 · 04/02/2020 11:41

Sum 41 With Me, absolutely love it. Sums us up perfectly.
So pleased we didn’t go with a more typical first dance song.

Boshmama · 04/02/2020 11:42

Mountains - Biffy clyro ♥️

Misskittyfantastico85 · 04/02/2020 11:46

Daniel Beddingfield if you're not the one.

MeanwhileAtNumber98 · 04/02/2020 11:50

Ours was Amazed by Lonestar, January 2004 we got married..we went to three other weddings that year and all had the same song!

MaMaMaMySharona · 04/02/2020 12:04

@19lottie82 snap on the wedding song! Everyone loved it when it came on Smile

Andersonx3 · 04/02/2020 12:20

James Arthur - Say You Won't Let Go, however our ceremony songs were.. different. I walked down the aisle to a piano cover of my favourite song, it's a 90's trance song so chose a cover so my wedding didn't turn into a rave. BT - Flaming June. We walked out to Busted - Meet You There!

Pasqual · 04/02/2020 12:58

We had Kodaline - The One.

I wanted Hall & Oates - You make my dreams come true, but DH was not keen at all!
