Done to death, I know...! 1st Dance

Kirstin, 19 February, 2009 at 13:17 Posted on Planning 0 32

Sorry....!!! I know how often this gets done, but I really need some inspiration. We don't have a song! What are you having as your first dance?

    We have been deliberating this a lot. We think its going to be 'God only knows' by the beach boys .... but are just worried that its a bit too 'Love Actually'.

    I'm the opposite.I can't decide between

    truly madly deeply-we both love it

    special two-we were apart and the song made me realise how important he was

    or I've just heard love story and quite like all the princess bits (cos I am)? or to be totally cheesy ever after from enchated cos H2B is a chick flick fan and loves enchanted

    We're having can't take my eyes off of you as 1st dance. Have some Scottish tunes thrown in - should entertain our English guests as we try to do them - then ending with Auld Lang Syne.

    have asked the band not to sing Build me up buttercup or the Timewarp (OH's request!)

    Ditto.

    Sis-in-law had Right Here by Staind, if I had to choose now I think it'd be The Reason by Hoobastank.

    Wow thats a brilliant choice, we are having this song as our signing the register song and are having Elbows Mirrorball for our first dance song. Watched them do this song at Glastonbury 2008, when the sun was going down ..

    Liked the dancing Penguin, but unfortunately I couldn't hear the music - maybe its just my computer.

    We have been through various options for first dance. H2B likes madness so I thought 'It must be love' but H2B didn't want to because of the video clip. I was then keen on 'L-O-V-E' by Nat King Cole because its a bit more jazzy. Decided then H2B should choose as he hasn't decided on that many wedding things, so he was going for 'Unforgetable' (duet with Nat King Cole and Natalie Cole) ..... have to say I really don't like this. So now we are thinking of recording our own song. H2B has really got into playing the electric guitar and has been jamming over various instrumentals so plan is he will record one with all his gadgets and we will dance to that. A bit more personal as we don't really have 'a song'.

    Sorry that was a bit of a long winded answer.
