What did you have or what are you having as a first dance song?

We're thinking of having Maybe I'm Amazed by Paul McCartney, what do you think? Would that pass as a 1st dance song?

we had 'have i told you lately that i love you' by van morrison

if i was getting married now at the age
i got married then iyswim, i think i might have 'thinking' by ed sheerhan

does the song have some meaning for you?

It doesn't really have any meaning to us, we don't really have a song so struggling a bit and liked the lyrics.

I would have How do you feel by Ed Sheeran but OH doesn't like him.

We are trying to find a rock song to use,but most slow ones are negative stories etc.

FauxPasadena · 27/05/2017 12:55

Metallica - Nothing Else Matters.

In hindsight a shorter song could have been better but I don't regret it Wink

FauxPasadena · 27/05/2017 12:56

I never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
Nothing else matters

We had Kodaline "The One" the words were/are perfect 😊

MumBod · 27/05/2017 12:57

We Had Let's Stay Together by Al Green we didn't.

If you're looking for a rock song, a friend had Don't Want To Miss A Thing by Aerosmith.

fizzytonicplease · 27/05/2017 12:58

Me and Dh had 'Aerosmith don't wanna miss a thing'

fizzytonicplease · 27/05/2017 12:59

** don't want to miss a thing
Not don't wanna

Vivienne have you tried Here's to us by Halestorm? It does have a few swear words in it though.

We had last night on earth by green day.

I got my husband to agree to it when he was pissed.

Twerking9to5 · 27/05/2017 13:03

We had Happy Together by the Turtles-liked the lyrics!

VivienneWestwoodsKnickers · 27/05/2017 13:09

Great idea imgettingmarried will put it on the list.

FauxPasadena that's exactly the song we want, but want a shorter version!

AndNoneForGretchenWieners · 27/05/2017 13:12

We had Eternal Flame for ours. I also considered Now and Forever by Richard Marx and Lavender by Marillion but DH wasn't too keen and wanted It Must Be Love by Madness. Eternal Flame was the only one we could agree on.

izzibee29 · 27/05/2017 13:17

We had morcombe and wise, bring me sunshine. Short sweet happy, big band and fun.

MumBod · 27/05/2017 13:18

My niece had You're My Best Friend by Queen. Quite sweet.

TheRollingCrone · 27/05/2017 13:18

Sideways by Citizen Cope but I secretly wanted Forever And Ever by Demis Roussos

Tretchikoff · 27/05/2017 13:21

Sunshine on Leith by the Proclaimers.

Diehard Hibs DH!

OdinsLoveChild · 27/05/2017 13:23

We didn't bother and not one person noticed . I probably would have gone for something along the lines of David Bowie Absolute Beginners.

DH is a whole 12 inches taller than me, its not the easiest thing to do, dance with someone who has that huge height difference plus DH cant dance for toffee

It's so difficult to pick something we agree on. He's into metal and rock, everything from Rolling Stones to Slipknot where as I'm into pop, Ed Sheeran, Little Mix types.

I didn't think this would be the hardest choice to make.
