First dance song!

StaceyLorraine, 16 August, 2013 at 19:59 Posted on Planning 0 40

So lets talk first dance.... What is your chosen song and why did you pick it?

Me and my h2b are having let me be your wings by Barry Manilow, we want it as it's the song from our favorite childhood film Thumbelina (we've never grown up) and its perfect for us.

    We are having 'Forever' by the Dropkick Murphys - has always been 'our' song and fits us perfectly!

    I'm not sure yet , OH is in charge of this. My only requirement is that it's not mushy. Currently he's thinking of 'Born to be my baby' by Bon Jovi

    Think we're having For Once in My Life - Stevie Wonder.

    There isn't a particular song that means something to us that would be good for a first dance, and we wanted something happy and upbeat. Coincidentally, it now features on a tv advert...

    We had chasing cars by snow patrol. It was the first thing we agreed on for the wedding, even before the date! We both love the song, and have spent many hours singing it at the tops of our voices in the car together! Plus we have seen them live together as well. It was perfect on our wedding day too and still gives me butterflies when I hear it!

    We have struggled with this because there are so many songs that mean something to us (we went to school together and were best friends but only got together 5 years ago!)

    We have gone for GooGoo Dolls Iris then have chosen a Bonjovi song (In These arms) to play straight after it. We also love Jason Mraz so im having that walking up the aisle.

    I have compiled a list for the DJ of songs that he needs to play at the reception! We are getting married in Cyprus so OH also has a list of songs for docking station for party over there! Xx

    No particular reason, we just both like it plus it's not too slushy!

    We are having Beneath Your Beautiful - it wouldn't usually be an 'US' song, but OH proposed to me while we were slow dancing to it so we couldn't have anything else.

    I've just had a listen to this and love it. I did the same thing with a song on a Kleenex ad a few years ago, I loved it so googled the lyrics and downloaded the song!

    We're having Kiss Me by Sixpence None The Richer for our first dance. When we first met I was working all over the country so was doing a lot of driving, so on our second, third and fourth dates he brought me a mix CD that he made for me. He put Kiss Me on the first CD and I'd not heard it for years but remembered it and loved it, so he put it onto the next CDs too and it kind of became our song. Our next favourite song together is probably The Ballad of Tom Jones by Space and Cerys Matthews but the lyrics probably aren't typical wedding lyrics! ?

    Love this, what a great choice.

    We are going for The first day of my life by Bright Eyes I think although The Beatles in my life is still in contention. In my life says more about our relationship and would probably be 'our song' if we had one but we just love the other choice. So many decisions!

    I was loving FTLOMB'S choice of Hotel Yorba.

    I thought I knew how to quote like the cool kids, clearly not.

    'I won't give up on us' by Jason Mraz

    Our relationship started out as long distance and we went through some really tough times dealing with being apart for extended periods. The lyrics of this song remind us of how strong we were when things were hard, and OH sent it to me on a CD for my birthday last year......makes me cry every time I hear it!

    Wonderful wonderful by Johnny Mathis. If any of you have seen the final episode of Desperate Housewives - that's where we got the idea from! And h2b had it playing in the flat when he proposed :o)

    Ours is Lover of the Light by Mumford & Sons.

    My OH is very weird about music, I heard their Winter Winds song when it was Scott Mills song of the week on radio one. I thought he'd like them so got him the album for Christmas. He'd never mentioned this band or song, but swears blind he told me he wanted it!

    When we moved into our house we pretty much just had this CD on, so I bought him the second album as soon as it came out. On the first listen when this song came on, he just looked at me and said 'We're having this as our first dance at the wedding'.

    It works and I love it, but it's longer than I'd like!

    OH is very into his music so I have had to compromise a bit.

    We are having 'Morning Dreams' by Ladyhawke

    I quite like the lyrics as its about always wanting to be by your side even when you aren't there and you appear to be better everyday.

    I let OH chose our song and he has gone for Madness - It Must Be Love, which is fine by me as its not a slow slushy dance number and means we can just bop about and throw shapes which is what wears usually like!!
