First Dance

Our traidtional first dance soochy song is Elton John - Something About the Way you look tonight although it's actually going to be our last dance. We plan to have it played around 11.15pm and then will leave soon after. Also, we never understand why slow songs start the disco so for our actual "first dance", we're having S Club 7 - Reach as it is the first song we danced to the day we met ?

We're having Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls then leading into Lifted by the Lighthouse family so everyone can join in.

My Dad's also chosen a song for later for us to dance to.

We were going to have Amazed by Lonestar. Really cheesy but that song means a lot to us. BUT... we went to OH's cousin's wedding last weekend and they had it. Now I feel like we can't use it. ?

AllGold - you can still have it!

TBH - I can't remember what any of the first dance songs at weddings were. But also, your wedding is far enough away to still be OK to use it! ?

Yeah maybe you're right. I'm not sure they will mind but it's that horrible situation where people might just think we've pinched it when really we've always said that's what we'd have, even before we were engaged.

I love both of those songs - great choices!

Ours is Elton Johns 'Your Song' always has been.

But the Plain White T's song 'Hey there Delilah' means a lot too as H2B worked away for three years so we had a long distance relationship at that time.

Allgold i would still have it, i know what you mean tho!

Here's few ideas https://www.weddingdja.co.uk/1stdance.html

I want Let's Stay Together by Al Green. Just got to convince my OH.

Ours is Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol

And the last dance of the night is You'll Never Walk alone which i will start to dance with my dad but then everybody will join in, we did it at my brothers wedding and it was amazing as a last song

We are having Elbow's One Day Like this - we both love the song and have wanted this as our first dance since we started wedding planning - Its gives me goosebumps when I hear the first few chords. The only things is its over 6 minutes long........!!!! May have to grab some of the wedding party to join in half way through!!

We're having aerosmith - don't wanna miss a thing. we've said since before we were engaged we'd have that. it gives my tingles every time i hear it played.

we're putting a load of songs on either mp3 player or cd to be played during the meal so we're getting to pick loads of songs that we love including lonestar, amazed cos we both love that one too.

Thanks for the suggestions, i have loads of songs i like for the FD but we cant seem to both decide on one!

What good taste you have, lol. Thanks guys, you've made me feel better about that now.

We're also sending out a request with our invites because we couldn't decide what music to play through the day. We're going to ask everyone to tell us what their fave love song ever is (so they'll put that on the rsvp) and we're going to put a couple of cds together with them all on and play them through the day as the background music to the wedding breakfast and late afternoon until the entertainment is in.
