first dance song... what is/was yours?

AmzieM, 5 September, 2013 at 10:46 Posted on Planning 0 57

When first announced we to be getting married. we wanted a funny uplifting song, but OH has got a few conditions all in the same leg so he can't move it properly. he keeps saying he will dance like a penguin.

i am bit nervous to how we going to look, we did have a bit of practie and it looks like we are uncomfortable but we not, he just can't move properly.

we changed it a few times, i remember one of them was Savage Garden - I Knew I Loved You. but it didn't "feel" right/complete.

so as listening through my ipod one sunday whilst doing the sunday dinner, a song came on, OH came up behind me and hugged me.

the song is now Westlife - Unbreakable.

listening to it now and feeling slightly emotional lol ❤️

    I have told a few people mine and the first line has had a few 'will people actually hear the rest of the song' comments as its 'i know how to let you leave'

    But the band and song mean a lot to us so i dont care... i dont think people listen to the words anyway!

    We're having Blue October - Not Broken Anymore

    We're having Take That - Greatest Day.

    It may be cheesy and predictable but I love it!

    All I Want Is You by Barry Louis Polisar. Its from the Juno soundtrack and was one of the first films me and OH watched together and the lyrics are perfect. And its also short enough so the awkward shuffling won't last too long!

    Better by Tom Baxter, NOT the Boyzone version, because the words mean everything to us

    OH is sorting this but his current favourity is born to be my baby by Bon Jovi but I'm worried people won't know what it is until the chorus which is a way into the song. Maybe will get the band to play it instrumental only until that point?

    We are having two. The first is Beneath Your Beautiful as he proposed to me while we were slow dancing to this.

    We had a thought that some people may not want to dance to the first song as it goes to a funny tempo we are having a second song too which is Moon River (Audrey Hepburn version) as we have had some very special dances to that song.

    We had Eels - The look you gave that guy. Not very well known but a favourite song of ours. The words may also be seen as a bit odd for a first dance but we just went with it

    We had Never Tear Us Apart by Paloma Faith, and then Marry You by Bruno Mars when we got our wedding party and best friends to join us for a boogie.

    Those 7 minutes could well be the best 7 minutes of my life. ❤️

    I think ours will be Animal by Neon Trees or That's What's Up by Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros. Neither of us can dance but I didn't want anything shuffly!

    He wanted Darren Hayes' Beautiful, I wanted Billy Joel's Just the Way You Are.

    So we're having both, his choice first.

    Although we are still in the very early stages of planning, I have had some ideas about the first dance. We would like something a bit unusual and I am trying to persuade for one of the following:

    Guns n Roses - Sweet Child o Mine
    The Darkness - I believe in a thing called love
    Kiss - I was made for loving you
    Metallica - Nothing else matters (although this is nearly 7 minutes long!)

    We had two. The first was Adele "Make you feel my love" and the second "Ain't Nobody" by Chaka Khan. I don't actually like Adele tbh but we both just loved that song and I didn't really like the Bob Dylan/Billy Joel versions. Chaka Khan was kind of our song but didn't feel right having it as a first dance so we had it as the second instead Smiley smile It was a great one to fill the dance floor too.
