    At the moment I'm feeling fluffy so liking Shania Twain "From this moment"

    Nona, could your h2b surprise you and have gone to lessons by himself to sweep you off your feet? ?

    Beyonce Halo...completely sums up what our relationship is like. The song gives me goosebumps and butterflies!

    We have been practising in the kitchen every now and again haha which is pretty funny because h2b doesn't dance ever! But we are perfecting it bit by bit!

    OH CAN dance. Thing is hes got no concept of dancing WITH someone, he'll scoop me up in a waltz pose but he wont listen to the music/timing he'll just waltz me about. I know there should be a leader and a follower but hes too pushy abouty....lol I'm worried he'll step on little ole me. I'm little and hes tallll!

    so that will be a No.

    At the moment ours is between 2 pretty different songs - Alicia Keys' If I Ain't Got You, or Have I Told You Lately - but the Van Morrison one, not the Rod Stewart version. We might change our minds again though within the next year.

    I love Beyonce's Halo! ❤️ such a beautiful song - she's amazing too, I'm a massive fan.

    Our 1st dance is gonna be Eli Reed - Roll With You, I'm not sure if you will have heard it but it is lovely, Eli's voice is amazing. we were gonna have Its Easier but its about settling with someone rather than being alone (not very weddingy!!)

    Check him out if you have 5 mins free, i'd like to know what u think xxx

    We're probably going for Endless Love by Lionel Ritchie and Diana Ross and this really sums up how we feel and we both love it.

    I have always liked I'll Be There though and this always gives me goosebumps.

    OH was playing David Gray when he proposed so part of me thinks we should have one of his songs.

    We had 'Bring me sunshine' by Morecombe and Wise, complete with Eric's dance!! It was very us and the words are just so nice.....

    Don't be pressured to have something slow and romantic - you just have what you want! Another one that I came up with the day before was 'Nobody Does it Better' by Carly Simon after hearing it on a Bond themed Golden Hour on Chris Moyles! The words are great - so we had it towards the end of night!!

So far OH has only come up with one suggestion that he heard on the radio, sung by a man...but cant remember what man or what the name of the song is ... HELPFUL my darling husband to be grrrr ?

    Going to listen to all of tunes listed above and try to find one...let us know what you decide on!

    Ah, now mine is rather irritating me- I keep trying to suggest songs and he goes 'Nooooooo, I've told you- we're having Dizzee Rascal 'Bonkers''. Whilst I know he's joking it's not very helpful when trying to make some sort of decision ?

    We've been trying to decide this for ages (along with about 20 songs the videographer wants!!) we spent ages listening carefully and analyzing all the words to every possible song and it drove us insane!!

    so now we have decided on ....

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lw-gjgbgJTg

    the words are really beautiful!!

    we did consider jason mraz im yours, but its not really a 'slow dance' type song, so we are having that on our dvd as we walk out of the church as man and wife!!

    I really want michel jackons 'the way you make me feel' but sung by a girl called Naomi roper. I ❤️ it so much as she has such a mellow voice. It is slightly random words, going on about turning people on but I just can't stop listening to it.

    Now just need to convince OH!

    We're having "Fallen" by Lauren Wood.... it's a track out of Pretty Woman, when they go to the opera. The words are really apt for us.

    Everything I suggested OH just said "No I don't like that type of music". What am I supposed to do with that???

    I think we managed to reach a compromise and have decided on Ricky Martin's Private Emotion unless he changes his mind between now and then.....

    I really Crack the Shutters by Snow Patrol but we'll probably have something by Eric Clapton. I love the youtube video of the couple breaking into a dance routine to Baby Got Back, i think its brilliant. Strangely enough OH wasn't so keen on copying them!

    Think we have decided on Take That Rule the World. OH doesn't do boy bands so was surprised when he suggested this song!
