First Dance

Could you put a few choices on in your living room an have a little pre wedding dance an see which one feels right? x

I am all for upbeat first dances.

We had a rock tune that has a slower breakdown in the middle. We jumped around a lot, twirled a bit, headbanged, did a little cuddle (my back to his front) for the slow bit, then jumped around more.

My best mate had a quick tune as well (a Johnny Cash duet). They basically swished around, singing to each other across the dance floor, beckoning each other in, pushing each other away.

You don't have to hold each other. If it's a bit dancey, dance! Pull faces, laugh with each other, be natural.

PS - what is the song?

Hi,

I think if it's your favourite song then it obviously means something to you both so go for it and enjoy yourselves. I think there's a danger of thinking too much about it- we have decided on 'Something Changed' by Pulp and we can't really dance to it at all but every time we've put it on we both wiggle our bums a bit and it makes us both laugh so we're going for it anyway!

Hi,

Thanks for the replies.

The song we were looking at was "What is life" by George Harrison.

We really like it, but don't know how to really dance to it

It's got hand clapping opportunities, a bit of 60s style mash potato, a bit of jumping and singing to each other. I've just Googled a video and found George Harrison doing NY NY style kicks to it.

It's a very nice tune and a good choice. It's fairly typically Beatles-sounding so pretty much anything you'd do to "I wanna hold your hand" will fit!

I wouldn't worry too much after 6 months of bickering over which song we would have (the only thing about the whole wedding we have bickered about!) We finally decided last weekend, we are dancing it this Saturday!!!

We've gone totally upbeat and off beat, as we're having Opps... I did it again by Britney Spears!!! This is my second marriage and it was my OH choice!!!

I just don't know how I am going to manage it in my dress though...?

We had the slow "I love you just the way you are" Barry White. Played about 2 mins of it then we went into a faster number "My first, my last everything" Barry White and at that song everyone was invited up. Al isn't big on dancing but we did a few twirls and with the guests joining us for the 2nd song it was just perfect.

Hi

We have played the following songs live as first dances recently, they're a bit different but may give you some inspiration : )

Iris - Goo Goo Dolls

Legohouse - Ed Sheeran

Hiding Tonight - Alex Turner

Gravity - Embrace

Good luck!

Ooh I already had Iris on my list of possibles but just added Embrace to it as well now.

Been really worried about First Dance song as we don't have a song (apart from when we split up one which is a bit inappropriate I think!)

Thanks for the help!
