Whats your first dance song?

We don't have one yet. OH is most unhelpful about helping chose and we don't really have 'a song'. Whatever we pick my CBM is singing.

Good Day Sunshine - Beatles.

Closely followed my Mardy Bum.

Some of the more tame ideas;

Placebo - "I Do"

https://youtu.be/zx5HuAPd6RM

Wannadies - "you and me song"

https://youtu.be/Vbg7YoXiKn0

Ben E King - "stand by me"

We are having "I cant help falling in love with you" As sang by Katharine McPhee and Andrea Bocelli Andrea. http://www.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DeLS0kRAsSoo

The second dance is sorted;

https://youtu.be/VkAVfsw5xSQ

Huey Lewis and the News- "Power of Love"

We are having Eric Clapton - Wonderful tonight https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwprrAEL9-E

? A bit soppy but It's special to me and H2B! x

We're having;

"Baby I love you - The Ramones" ?

Others I've played for couples;

• The Pixies - Here comes your Man
• Starship - Nothings gonna stop us now (not too slow..)
• Jackie Wilson - I get the sweetest feeling
• The Cure - Love Cats

I've got a fairly long list, but many are slow ballads.

Whatever you pick, make it personal, so what song makes you think of Mr Mini? Is there an acoustic version?

If you don't fancy 3 or 4 minutes of shuffling, get the DJ to do 2 mins of "shuffling", and break in with something you'd prefer to dance to :-) ..once the other guests join you on the floor.

Even better if you get your wedding party in on the surprise ?

Excellent 2nd dance choice!

Like all the options for the first but you said they were the tame ones? What would you both love?

@Kharv

We love;

Jimmy Eat World - Pain

Finch - Letters to you (about a break up tho!)

The lyrics arnt really appropriate though in either.

We are having 'If I aint got you' by Alicia Keys .... 248 days to go! Easter Sunday!

Im torn between "Kenny Loggins Meet Me Halfway" and Def Leppard "Love bites". I dont think none of my guests will have heard of them but I love them both xx

We don't really have a song. In the end we decided on ours when we went to see John Bishop a couple of months ago. I've always loved the Beatles but OH isn't that big a fan - but we both love this song. What sold it to me was that it's upbeat, not a 'sway' song, and is only about 2 mins long!

Just listened to those two - love that Finch song! Never heard of them - might have a gander!

Actually, love both of them!

Sorry - that doesn't help...

We're having Greenday - Poprocks and Coke.

We also struggled with ideas that weren't a first dance mosh, but then we're not really a shuffling couple, so we went half way!

Nothing Else Matters by Metallica. I'm teaching my OH to waltz.

How about this Mini?

Also, Jimmy Eat World - 23 is lovely, especially the instrumental intro

Apologies for the triple post! but, 23 lyrics

"No one else will have me like you do
No one else will have me, only you"

Jack Penate - We will be here

Tijiana Lady by Gomez for the first dance. I think Hard to beat by hard fi for the second.

Staind - Tangled Up In You. Love the lyrics and our song anyway.

There's a very long list of songs I have played over the last 18 months here - https://www.celebratewithmusic.co.uk/recommendations.html

Hope that helps!

Simon

Think we're going with michael buble everything. i REALLY wanted foo fighters everlong (acoustic) but my oh is such as grump with music and has not suggested or really agreed to any songs!

Ours is going to be Bon Jovi, Thank You For Loving Me

I am torn between Michael Buble Everything and Take That Greatest Day

Think we are having The Book of Love by Peter Gabriel, i love it.

We are having Snow Patrol - Set the fire to the third bar

However, I still love Never Tear Us Apart by INXS

We're debating this-either the Wannadies ..or now we're thinking- You've got the love Candi Staton-with all our friends on the dance floor with us, as it's 'our' song for our mates and us!

October11 - we love Jack Penate! Seen him live a few times, he's brill!

I really really wanted Elbow - One day like this, but H didn't want it (and it's a really long song! 6 mins+)

We ended up having Green Day, Good Riddance (Time of your life) xxx

If you like JEW how about 23 of Lucky Denver Mint? I love I Do by Placebo though and reckon it'd make a great (albeit not traditional first dance song)

We're trying to decide between I Won't Spend Another Night Alone by The Ataris and I'll Catch You by The Get Up Kids.

We're having the Theme from (Baz Luhrman's) Romeo and Juliet but the instrumental version rather than Des'ree singing.

We love him too! We saw him in Brighton a couple of years ago it was amazing. We Will be here has been 'our' song ever since we got together, OH always says it makes him think of me. And any song by Jack Penate just makes me think of OH..his voice is amazing

You know this already but I shall share again!
