    My fave film is Moulin Rouge and this is where my other half proposed. For this reason we have decided to go with "your song" but the Nicola Kidman, Ewan Mcgregor version. It means so much to us and will bring back happy memories. Do you have a song that you heard on a special occasion? Maybe a holiday or a time that was special for both of you? ?

    I *think* we are going to have 'Smash Into You' by Beyonce but there are a few other options, as we don't really have a 'song' per se.

    *pootles off to look at the lyrics*

    I like this bit...

    Ohne dich

    Und das Atmen fällt mir ach, so schwer,
    Weh mir oh weh, und die Vögel singen nicht mehr...

    We're having by best friend (and BM) singing our first dance, which is a very common choice but fab because it'll be that much more personal - it's At Last by Etta James.

    'Let There Be Love' by Nat King Cole is good, as is 'Can't Take My Eyes Off You" (Andy Williams version)

    We are having Thank you for loving me by Bon Jovi. The closest we could get to rock while still being appropriate for a first wedding dance.

    My OH really wants this one too ?

    This is one of very few parts he's wanting to sort out, which I'm happy with the choice as we both love Foo's too - however its the one part of the day I'm dreading and I'd much prefer a shorter song so I can run and hide as soon as possible ? I hate dancing - let alone dancing in front of EVERYONE and EVERYONE we know! Oh the things I do for my OH ?

    We're having Bryan Adams "I'll Always Be Right There". It's been our song right from the start and its very fitting for the day!! I don't think it was ever released as a single so not many people have heard of it.

    We are also having this as our first song! But the orchestral version from their live album, was one of the first things we decided!
