tell me your first dance song at your wedding

[chuckyeggtimestwo]

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!

As by Stevie Wonder.

Hi slow dance. We pulled some moves and then invited everyone else to join us

No slow dance

Lego House - Ed Sheeran

We both liked the song and it fitted our theme.

Sam smith latch (acoustic version)

Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel - Make me Smile

Annie's song by John Denver.

Etta James - At Last

Sam Cooke - You Send Me

Last night on Earth by Greenday.

Elvis - can't help falling in love with you. Swiftly followed by the UB40 version so people would dance and take the attention away from us

@Meggie2008 I love TC3 and listening to White Lightning this afternoon. I did think that if it had come out when DH and I first met it might have become one of our songs. It is perfect.

Nc cause this is very outing.

We had muses version of cant take my eyes off you. As a ballroom dancer of many years my husband to be wanted to try too. So we spent 8 months of teaching him a tango and routine.

4 weeks before the wedding (due to an previous operation) his tibia shattered on the stag do. Meaning he could no longer do a tango.

So... the only song choice that best fitted our situation was the hokey cokey. All the bridal party plus anyone else got up and joined in. Was the best first dance ever and we got some amazing photos.

Dont write off the hokey cokey.... sometimes it is the only thing it's all about.

Our second song was Paradise by the dashboard lights. We thought it was funny!

Im still reading these - I love loads of them myself. Im playing them to dp on spotify but he’s told me to stop it now !

whatsername paradise by the dashboard light is a truly epic song!

We had Kathy's Song by Simon & Garfunkel

We got married last year, our first dance was Your Love Keeps Lifting Me Higher by Jackie wilson. We decided on that because it was upbeat, fun and not too long.

We had Better Together by Jack johnson when we signed the register.

Come what may from Moulin Rouge - DH's favourite film.

Placemarking for my 2nd marriage I may have one day 😂

We had the inspiration by Chicago still love it now !!!

Careless whisper - seether
(I can't stand the George Michael original)

Have I told you lately that I love you - can Morrison. V appropriate as he's still rubbish at it 26 years later.

NC to an old name as very outing for me!

We had what we thought was Rose by The Feeling..it was on their first album and a compilation we listened to loads when we first got together. We thought the lyrics were nice I love you, especially today, especially this way. Years later I saw the title written down. It was Rosé. Yup, our wedding dance was a love song to wine!

We walked back down the aisle together to IZ’s version of Somewhere over the rainbow/What a wonderful world. It’s such a beautiful song! People still message me sometimes when they hear it to say it reminds me of our wedding! I saw Hugh Jackman live on Friday and he did a similar version and I teared up! My sister also sang ‘We’ve only just begun’ as we signed the register. Ah makes me happy to look back

VAN not can.

We had Night and Day (Cole Porter)
