First Dance Inspiration

We are having 'Jackie Wilson-To be loved'

xx

We'll be dancing to Book of Love by Peter Gabriel. It's slower than I'd hoped, but as soon as I heard it I knew it was the song. The lyrics are amazing, and it's so pretty. So basically we'll be swaying around really slowly for a minute and a half before begging others to do the same.

Ah that's a nice one!

Ha ha I love that! To be honest I think first dances are all a bit awkward but I love the tradition of it and as a guest I love it too so I wouldn't miss it!

Great choice. Love this song!

We had The Ramones, Baby I love you.

Do you have any songs that remind you of your 1st meeting? This is often a good way to start. (our song wasn't though! -but a strong candidate was Heaven - Candlelight Remix, which was released when we met)

Otherwise, any joint favourite films?

I was going to suggest Google "1st dance songs", but then found the following site;

I don't know who is behind it, but there are some gems in there.

Hope this helps,

We are having Take that Rule the world

Its the exit song we are struggling with.

We are having You Make It Real by James Morrison.

I think he is amazing! x

Were having, i knew i loved you by savage garden x

We've gone for Sinatra's Fly Me to the Moon!

We didn't have 'our song' either so I was worried that we wouldn't be able to find a first dance song that meant something to both of us, but I started listening to old CD's and looking on the internet and I came accross 'Spend My Life With You' by Eric Benet.

It is our style of music and the lyrics are beautiful, it makes me cry every time I listen to it and OH loves it too.

"Spend My Life With You"
(feat. Tamia)

Pixie Lotts version of 'Use Somebody' But that might change, as we think it might be too slow.

James Morrisson - I wont let you go

My first choice at the minute is Kenny Loggins "Meet me half way" or Def Leppard "Love bites". I'm not sure people will have heard of them though but I love both songs.

Aw thanks all for the tips, insight and ideas! Just lovely. We have opted for this hawiian version of Somewhere over the Rainbow. If you haven't heard it I'd recommend a wee listen - so sweet!

We're having Kiss From A Rose by Seal, I'm choreographing a routine for it too ?

Edited out

Oooohh my H2B wanted the KOL version, I like it but wasn't keen for our first dance, we might be needing to go back into negotiations with this one! xx

We had the All Angels version of Songbird.

We're still struggling with this one so will be keeping an eye on this thread for tips!

Trying to decide between Bon Jovi - Always and Bryan Adams - Everything I Do. Will probably change before the wedding though!

We are having Shania Twain - Your Still The One...

Purely because the song is just us all over, from start to finish xx

We're having 'These arms of mine' by Otis Reading. ❤️

Wait for it....The one and only Dolly Parton & Kenny Rogers - Islands In The Steam (my partners choice)! Our song is Biffy Clyro - Many Of Horror but some people don't seem to think the lyrics would be good, me personally think if you listen to them don't sound at all bad lol.

I think we're set on Greatest Day by Take That.

We both have completely different tastes in music and if I let him he would go for Whitney or Mariah or something like that so we're trying to compormise and have come up with a list!

You Make it Real: James Morrison

Lego House: Ed Sheeran

Drops of Jupiter: Train

You Do Something To Me: Paul Weller

Trouble: Ray Lamontagne

I'm more of a rock chick but would quite like something fun for a first dance however my suggestions of 'Say hey (I Love You)' by Michael Franti, 'We go Together' from Grease and 'Do you Love Me' by the Contours have been met with a look of disgust!

I may yet get my way....
