Posted on Planning 92

I wanted to start a light-hearted post, as I can see a lot of you are having a stressful time atm. Oh dear, what I have to look forward to! Even though I'm nowhere near wedding stage yet, himself and I have always said that our first dance would be to 'our' song - In Your Arms by The Last Goodnight....

(Btw, if you haven't heard it- it's not very well known- and you've the time, Youtube it, it's beautiful.)

What's everyone else's going to be?

    Hubbs91, were you watching My Sister's Keeper or How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days? I'm such a saddo to know it was in both!

    Some really beautiful songs on here, and now I'm learning others! The Hoobastank one I've never heard of, but himself is a fan, must dig out the albums and have a listen!

    Love it, but love "Every Day I Love you" by Boyzone more! I like the bit at the end where Ronan sings "If I ask would you say yes?" Cant get more wedding-y than that!!

    That said, we are having The Ramones "Baby I Love You", but will be finishing the night with a sensible slow dance to "Every Day I Love You". x

    We are having The Beatles 'Something'

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzkhOmKVW08

    Then our second and third choices will be played later in the evening so we make sure we definitely get the chance to dance together again.

    Second Choice

    Third Choice

    We're going for Sixpence Non The Richer 'Kiss Me'...our reception is in gorgeous converted barns and we're having our first dance out in the candle lit courtyard with acoustic singer playing the song...it says

    "Kiss me beneath the milky twilight, lead me out on the moonlit floor, lift your open hand, strike up the band, and make the fireflies dance, silver moon's sparkling, so kiss me"s

    Seems quite appropriate and should be lovely...as long as it doesn't rain that is!!

    Hehe!

    Aww - just love that song.

    Words are perfect for a first dance and I really love it too but Im worried its a little slow to dance to so dont know whether to go for it as a first dance or have it as background music to a DVD the photographer is doing with stills.

    Some great song choices there girls!

    Also love 'feels like home'

    and hoobastanks the reason is possibly the closest thing o/h and i have to an 'our song' we've only decided against it because we thought some of the lyrics were a bit off for a first dance.

    "i never meant to do that thing to you" and then the second verse "i'm sorry that i heard you, its something I must live with every day, and all that pain I put you through" Not really relevent in our cases.

    As we are both children of the 90's we have also decided to go with kiss me by sixpence none the richer, the whimsy of the song appeals to both of us.

    We're being greedy & having 2 1st songs. We've had a dance choreographed for the song 'All I want is you' from th Juno soundtrack that is 1 of our many songs but the chorus is: All I want is you, will you be my bride, take me by my hand and stand by my side' We're having the last part of that engraved inside our rings.

    After we finish that our band will start & play the slowy 'Rule the World' by Take That (quite a popular 1 on here I see) which is from our favourite film Stardust (Our tables are gonna be named after films).

    Can't wait, not long, just hope we remember the dance steps & that neither I or H2B step on or fall over my dress!!

    O well we arent 100% sure of that 1 yet! I think we might be having wild mountain thyme. I really wanted it an entrance music to the church, but OH isnt too sure of that idea. Then my brother suggested it as a first dance piece! And I am kind of lliking that idea! Will need to get on the discussing that with the OH now tho! Should probably decide on the entrance music first mind you!

    we had this as we signed the register. the only way i got H to agree to it was because it was written by bob dylan. we also had 'signed sealed delivered' by stevie wonder as we signed the register <rolls eyes at cheesiness>

    we had love is in the air by john paul young - the one from strictly ballroom. also accompanied by a cheesy choreographed dance that H was more worried about than anything.

    We are having Suddenly by Angry Anderson. I dreamed of having the song played at my wedding when I was a little girl and saw Scott and Charlene get marrried and luckily my H2B likes the song.

    If you have no idea what I'm on about, here's the link to it:

    Ooh I loved that song (reminds me of summer days spent listening to Kylie and Jason lol) - wish I could have it for our wedding, but don't think OH would go for it though! Smiley sad

    We're not really into slushy songs that much and OH suggested Buck Rogers by Feeder the other day or maybe Rock and Roll Queen by the subways - we don't have a song and we're always singing those 2 songs together in the car! Not sure what the lyrics mean to the first one, but 'I think we're gonna make it' and 'bought a brand new car' sums up us (he's always buying new cars!!) he he

    Our first dance song will be "Come What May" from Moulin Rouge, we both love this song. If you haven't heard it you should give it a listen - http://myweddingmusical.com/song/First-Dance/77/Come-What-May.aspx

    If we can find it anywhere in time to download we're going to have Seal's new song "Secret" - the words are just perfect and I have always loved his voice! Otherwise I think we'll have to stick with our original choice of Damien Rice "Delicate".

    I also love the Juno theme....words are perfectly fitting, just wasn't too sure how we would dance to this!! xx
