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?

Tretch that would definitely go down like a lead balloon. I wonder if Simply the Best or Penny Arcade would work

We had ' what a wonderful world' louis armstrong

jennielou75 · 27/05/2017 13:36

We had perfect day by Lou Reed. Simple but worked for us.

readyforno2 · 27/05/2017 13:43

We had "Is this love?" By Bob Marley.
Everyone commented on how they had never heard it as a first dance before. Not sure if that's a good comment or a bad one Blush

We had 'is this love' by Bob Marley. Suited us down to the ground. Friends had the song that was playing in the club when they met. Its totally down to you and you DF and what means something to you. Even if you don't have a 'song' pick something you love

Readyforno2 how bizarre. What a coincidence!

"You Are The Best Thing" by Ray Lamontagne.

ThePurpleOneWithTheNut · 27/05/2017 14:24

'True Love Ways' Buddy Holly.

MelinaMercury · 27/05/2017 14:26

Creed - My Sacrifice.

Gorgeous rock song that came out around the time we met and the lyrics are perfect :)

mayrat · 27/05/2017 14:27

We had a similar clash with one of us preparing metal and one of us preferring golden oldies. We compromised with R.E.M., At My Most Beautiful.

RedMetamorphosis · 27/05/2017 14:31

Not spoken to DP about ours yet.

I would love Jackie Wilson Higher and Higher. I'd rather have something a bit quicker than a slow dance.

I want to include Bruce Springsteen If I Should Fall Behind at some point, but it's a bit slow to dance to for us.

glitterglitters · 27/05/2017 14:36

We had Coheed & Cambria - Wake Up.

OvariesBeforeBrovaries · 27/05/2017 14:37

We had the version of "500 Miles" from Sunshine on Leith. Starts out as lovely slow dance song, then becomes the full song and everyone joined in then Grin so much fun.

bryanheaven · 27/05/2017 16:06

Rubbish name change to reply- We also have fairly different musical tastes but managed to compromise on Bryan Adams Heaven - the acoustic version. Was lovely.

NoncommittalToSparkleMotion · 27/05/2017 16:16

I love these responses!

We had Winter Winds by Mumford & Sons.

readyforno2 · 27/05/2017 18:00

Wow Bobbie!

DumbledoresArmy · 27/05/2017 18:06

We had Queen 'Best Friend'

Extended the intro guitar bit as my walk in. It was perfect 👌!

AngeloMysterioso · 27/05/2017 18:10

We're having You've Got A Friend In Me from Toy Story

FauxPasadena · 27/05/2017 18:20

@AngeloMysterioso that's a gorgeous choice, that is one of my and DH's "songs" too. Our main pet name for each other is "friend" Smile

Itsmytemporaryname · 28/05/2017 07:49

Love this thread. Little bump for the morning.

We had 'for once in my life' by Stevie Wonder.

EnglebertSlaptyback · 28/05/2017 07:58

We had Come And Get Your Love by redbone.
We don't have 'a song' but loved that one from the Guardians soundtrack.

LooksBetterWithAFilter · 28/05/2017 08:02

We had Florence and the Machine You've got the Love. It took us ages to pick something because dh and I also have very different taste in music but we both liked that one.

Imgettingmarried · 28/05/2017 08:06

We have provisional agreed on two, Amy Winehouse's version of Will you still love me tomorrow and a little song called Mario Kart love song by Sam Hart.

That could all change though we're not get getting married for another 2 and a half years. I've just got everything else picked and want to start dance lessons.
