First dance music

I don wan tot miss a thing

the power of love - Frankie goes to hollywood

I'd do anything for love - meatloaf

Is this love - whitesnake

More than a feeling - boston

Just google power love ballards or somethign like that and loads come up

Were having Amazed by Lonestar for our 1st dance and I've Had Time of my Life from Dirty Dancing as our end dance (as i want both of the songs so were having a start and finish one) ?

Snap hehe well so far anyway i have always wanted lonestar amazed since i went to a wedding when i was 14 and they had it still love it now lol although wedding is still away off so could change if a fab song come out before then

Lonestar works well, I play it at many Weddings and still think its a lovely song.

It's also worth thinking about the last song - and Time of my Life has it all and is perfect for couples to dance too, and also very well known.

Other ballads you might consider;

• I don't wan't to miss a thing (Aerosmith)
• You Are So Beautiful (Joe Cocker)
• Have I Told You Lately? (Rod Stewart)
• I'll Stand By You (The Pretenders)
• Nobody does it better (Carly Simon)
• She (Elvis Costello - also on Notting Hill Soundtrack)

This is a very personal decision, you may think of some films that you've both watched and a great song is played in the final scene! This may not work if your movie choice is horror!

If you're a U2 Fan, then "One" is a great tune, but the lyrics may not be suited - but its your Wedding!

Maybe:-

Can't Help Falling In Love - Elvis Presley
Everything I Do - Brian Adams
Groovy Kind Of Love - Phil Collins
I Don't Want To Miss A Thing - Aerosmith
Take My Breath Away - Berlin
Wonderful Tonight - Eric Clapton

What does the other half want?

All great suggestions!

How about 'Always' by Bon Jovi or 'Heaven' by Bryan Adams? Both lyrically great for a first dance and definitely fit in to the 'power ballad' category.

Also, check out my top ten first dance songs article. It's the most popular songs I get asked for for first dances so ther won't anything original in there - might give you some ideas though ?

For some more "indie" suggestions,

Iris - Goo Goo Dolls (if you don't know this song, it's beautiful, I would Youtube it if you haven't heard it.. We are using this as we play this all the time when we first met)

Run or Chasing Cars - Snow Patrol

I'm Yours or No Stopping Us - Jason Mraz

Love Song - The Cure

Nothing Compares to You - Sinead O'Connor

Linger - The Cranberries (lyrics might put you off, but the song is great... The music itself would be a good interlude during a ceremony)

H2B hates my Radiohead collection, so I daresay we won't be playing any of that...

I really wanted Never Tear Us Apart - INXS but gave in to hubby and went with Michael Buble lol

Well I think power ballad may not be the right words but big rock ballad or something like that. Always would be brilliant because I am the BIGGEST Bon Jovi fan and I think OH would find it funny that I had squeezed a little bit of Jon into our day, lol. I don't see myself dancing to that one but you're on the right lines there. I dont want something that everyone else has had (sorry - no offence meant to anyone) which is why I liked that U2 song. The hunt continues then........

Love that song!

Appreciate the suggestions. Not quite there yet though.

I'm having the 'tale as old as time' song from beauty and the beast. I watched the film the other day and it made me cry thinking about dancing to it at the wedding.

There are a couple of websites out there recommending good power ballard wedding songs, check out u tube aswell. Bryan Adams, that song from robin hood, (every thing i do), was voted the best one and that everly brothers version of unchained melody was a biggie too.

Hmmm, I think my problem is that I want something different, something that hasnt been done to death at other weddings.

Love your choice - nice and original.

Few random suggestions from when I was planning....

Elbow - one day like this is a fantastic first dance song (we used it in our wedding)

Iris by the Goo Goo dolls is another one

How about Starship - Nothings Going to stop us now

Or something like Robbie Williams - she's the one?

Went to a wedding recently where the Grooms name was Jones, so they had Me & Mrs Jones, was really sweet!

This song is the one me and H2B are walking back out as man and wife to! lol
