Need a Wedding song for 1st dance!

[StrawberrySnowflakes]

for friend getting married abroad in august..all my suggestions are rubbish apparently!

We danced to, wait for it, "The wedding song" by Bob Dylan, a lovely song, but too long and very difficult to dance to, but we didn't react picking some thing so close to our hearts

I'm getting married soon and i'm thinking of Carly Simon's 'Nobody does it better'.

Not 100% but it's a nice song.

Chasing Cars

It was a teenage wedding... (don't know what it's really called but that song from Pulp Fiction) although I'm sure it's not a teenage wedding!

Wonderwall

In my life by the Beatles, good lyrics but not too slushy and not a well known song.

Here Comes The Sun also a Beatles number

We danced to Coldplay's Green Eyes - don't do it, lasted forever with us going round in circles like tossers. If I was doing it again I would go for Barry White's My First, My LAst, My Everything and make ds learn a funky routine.

yours reminded me there of stevie wonder for once in my life and those words are quite good but a bit of a funky tune?!

actually that one would be fab for her, dont think he'd like it tho??hmm..will google lyrics and send it to them tho..would be fun and funky..picturing the ali macbeal dance routine now

you're the best thing

I agree with shoppingbags, tell your friend to go for a fast song.

We had Love In The Air and learnt a dance routine and it brought the house down. Everyone was really cheering at all the "complicated" moves and it was so much better than just going round in a circle while everyone watched.

Also good would be Aint Nobody by Chaka Khan, If I cant have you I dont want nobody baby - dont know who sings it, or Everlasting Love.

Just reread my post and realised I said ds who was not even a twinkle in his daddy's eye on our wedding day! I meant, of course, dh

i was thinking awww, little ds doing dance at wedding

Good website for wedding music

here

We had 'The Wonder of you' Elvis and learnt a routine, it's not too long and has nive drum rolls.

I love 'love is in the Air' and you can really dance to that.

We had some dancing lessons and practised a (simple) routine. It was lovely, and actually made you LESS self conscious I felt.

friend had 'It had to be you' which worked well and I also love 'Your just too good to be true' which is good for dancing.

fab site thankyou!

wow elvis and your just too good!!!!!...my fave songs and never thought of them!..big thankyou!

I also love the words to So Amazing by Luther Vandross, bit slushy but imo very nice.

When I dump dh and get new richer hubby I will teach ds a routine just for you strawberrysnowflakes. I like Smileyspeople's suggestions too.

Let's Get Married - The Proclaimers
It must be love - Madness or Labi Siffre

Oh crap - I have just looked and you have to buy the CD - when i got married in 2001, you could play a little bit of each song

LOL shoppingbagsundereyes

DH and I had 'Sunshine on Leith' by The Proclaimers - but we are Scottish lol

beautiful lyrics though!

My heart was broken, my heart was brokenSorrow sorrow
sorrow sorrowMy heart was broken, my heart was brokenYou saw it, you claimed itYou touched it, you
saved itMy tears are drying, my tears are dryingThankyou thankyou thankyou thankyouMy tears are drying,
my tears are dryingYour beauty and kindnessMade tears clear my blindnessWhile I?m worth my room on
this earthI will be with youWhile the chief, puts
sunshine on leithI?ll thank him for his workAnd your
birth and my birth.

KezzaG - if I cant have you was Yvonne Elliman...from Saturday night fever (cue school disco flashbacks!) She could always study the film for her first dance LOL

'I got you babe'-Sonny and Cher

There you go, a song and a dance routine for the price of a DVD. LOL.
