Just that really, we can't agree on a song. So, what was all your first dance songs please? Smile

We had It Must Be Love by Madness

Charliej86 · 17/05/2016 13:21

A million love song - take that

Majorlyscared1993 · 17/05/2016 13:27

We had Pete Doherty- for lovers

KT1366 · 23/05/2016 12:44

We're having an acoustic version of 'My Love' Jess Glynn. Not a typical first dance song as it's an acoustic of a dance song but we both like it and didn't want anything too cheesy.

Our second choice was Take That A Million Love Songs...muchas cheese!

KT1366 · 23/05/2016 12:45

But was torn was we love it!

We went with Tim Minchin 'You grew on me' had most people in stitches which distracted from our super wooden choreographed dance - We had a billion lessons which were great fun but were still rubbish on the day!

ChubbyMummy12 · 26/05/2016 12:38

Thank you, some great suggestions, dp doesn't like 'soppy' traditional songs, he finds them depressing! Sure we will agree on one soon

What about Bat out of Hell by Meat Loaf - quite meaningful lyrics and not the usual soppy dirge.

Flumplet · 30/05/2016 21:19

The dj sammy version of heaven by Brian Adams, which was in the charts when we met.

RichardHead · 30/05/2016 21:24

We had Beach Boys 'Don't Talk (Put Your Head On My Shoulder)'

We also thought about Pulp 'Something changed'

We were 90's indie kids!

Spickle · 03/06/2016 17:28

Wonderful Tonight - Eric Clapton

JeanGenie23 · 03/06/2016 17:31

Home- Talking heads

notagiraffe · 03/06/2016 17:34

DH refused to dance with me at our wedding. Grin Still happily married 20 years on, but it never occurred to us to have a first dance song. Think I danced first with a toddler then my pissed best male friend from school, all to indie folk. Not very helpful.

PetuliaGristle · 08/06/2016 22:08

Aerosmith - I don't want to miss a thing

Katnisnevergreen · 05/07/2016 20:42

Elbow one day like this

courtwood · 06/07/2016 20:20

God Only Knows by the beach boys, was ours
my sis had You're Just Too Good to be True by Andy Williams
my brother had It had to be You by Harry Connick jr

DamsonGinIsMyThing · 06/07/2016 20:24

We had the Florence and the Machine cover of You've Got The Love.

SitDownMarlene · 06/07/2016 20:29

Nothing's gonna change my love for you by Glenn Mediros. I wanted the Westlife version but DH wasn't having it!

WhitEm · 06/07/2016 20:35

Life's A Happy Song from The Muppets film.

GrimmauldPlace · 06/07/2016 20:40

We had "No matter what" by Papa Roach. I'm sure we got a few Hmm faces but was perfect for us.

GrimmauldPlace · 06/07/2016 20:42

Although I really wanted either "How long will I love you" by Ellie Goulding or "Thinking out loud" by Ed Sheeren but DH hates that kind of music.

Puddle of Mudd She Fucking Hates Me Grin
