First dance - if I like these, what else might I like?

These are my options so far…(soon to be) DH wants something really slow but I don’t want it to be too cheesy, so I’m trying to find something that’s romantic but still upbeat as a compromise. Any additions to this list?

What the world needs now:

Something Stupid:

Heaven - Bryan Adams:

LOVE -Nat King Cole:

If you like Bryan Adams Heaven, then look up the DJ Sammy version, it's stunning

Cinai · 03/10/2023 13:05

Thank you @Allthestarsarecomingouttonight that’s beautiful and might be more agreeable for my DH than the Bryan Adams one

I always thought a first dance was a song that was special to both of you already? Something that makes you think of the other person when you hear it.

Wanttobeok · 03/10/2023 13:44

I thought the same.

Ours was from the first CD DH ever bought me

Cinai · 03/10/2023 13:44

We don’t have one @MammaTo …wish we did. But hopefully we find something we both like and moving forward, this song will be very special for us for sure.

We had Al Green - Let's stay together. Was perfect. Good Luck with your search

They are all great songs, so keep listening and reading through the lyrics and soon you'll find one that you both love equally.

This Will Be An Everlasting Love by Natalie Cole?

Was also going to suggest this.

  • you make me feel so young - Frank Sinatra
  • the way you look tonight
  • let there be love - nat king cole
  • Just the one I’ve been looking for - Johnnie Taylor
BeaLola · 09/10/2023 21:12

If I was redoing I would probably have Just The Way You Look Tonight as I love the words

Other contenders:

Fly Me to The Moon - a favourite song

September - Earth Wind & Fire

We had this one and it was perfect. A nice up tempo song that you can dance to rather than shuffle around and it still makes me smile years later.

Bryan Adans Everything I do (I do it for you). No 1 when we got married & I still love it.

A thousand years - not sure of artist but it's beautiful.

This Kiss, Faith Hill. Different but lovely & up beat.

Congratulations & good luck 🥂
