WOOHOO! We have FINALLY agreed on a first dance song...

warlycarly, 21 March, 2012 at 23:43 Posted on Planning 0 56

After a lot of nagging to get OH to find a song he likes, and me having to sit and listen to all of them and the listen to the words, we have finally decided on Amy Winehouse - Will you still love me tomorrow?, unusual I know, but it is one we both like. Is anyone else having any unusual first dance songs and why?

    I really want Bon Jovi Bed of Roses for my first dance, not put this to OH yet but fingers crossed! Amy Winehouse is a good choice and an amazing song! Glad you decided on one! x

    I wouldn't say it's an unusual choice but I haven't heard of anyone else having ours. It's dangerously in love by beyonce , I'm not really a fan of hers but the song is lovely

    I'm not sure if this is unusual or not but we're having Paradise by Coldplay. It's just a song that kept coming on the radio a while back when we were thinking of songs and we both like it.

    Yay! for picking your song Smiley smile

    We are having Ohne Dich by Rammstein, which I guess is a bit unusual in that they are a German industrial/metal band Smiley winking

    Hi Smiley smile

    Our First Dance song has been so hard to pick. Everything I love my OH says is too 'cheesy' whereas all he picks is Oasis and i HATE Oasis with a passion! Finally he found a song that we both love and after listening to it and looking at the words it's perfect. It's The GooGoo Doll's Iris.

    I can't wait! xx

    I'm jealous! My OH still hasn't decided and the wedding is 3 weeks away! We spent last Sunday going through lists and lists to come back to the two I had originally suggested months ago ? He keeps listening to both but can't pick! I said we should have a practice dance to both and see which feels better...

    At the moment (and I've got about 354 ish days to change my mind probably as many times!) the favourite for us is The Style Council - You're the best thing, I love the song and the lyrics....but I'm also thinking of something a bit more upbeat, was thinking perhaps take that - greatest day (OH loves take that!)..but then I might have that for when we come down the staircase as husband and wife and walk down to our guests...arghhh!! How are you meant to decide!!

    We've finally decided too- Going for Savage Garden's- Truly, Madly, Deeply.

    Out of Interest- Are you all just swaying round the dance floor or putting a little routine together??

    Haha! As long as you promise not to tell the Mothership. She will think it's inappropriate but if she doesn't know in advance it can't worry her. Besides, it's one of their slow songs, so it's all good.

    My BM and bestie is singing our first dance so we were kind of restricted as to what we could choose. We've gone through options from Westlife to Celine Dion, Shania Twain to Cascada! Eventually OH completely back-tracked and we chose 'Heaven' - Bryan Adams/DJ Sammy Candlelight mix.

    That is a lovely song to have. We're just having the traditional wedding march and then a cd of of our favourite soppy songs playing while we sign the register.

    "I love 1+1 but the whole making love line in the song is a no go!"-the last bit of your sentence made me laugh ?!!!!

    It was so hard to choose, as I love westlife, shania twain etc, and OH likes reggae, and ska, so i managed to find a nice slow raggae, and he agreed, so I have ticked it off, was such a good feeling!

    Woo hoo, well done on picking a song.

    We are having Bon Jovi (as I'm a rock fan) so while it is a slow song, it is technically rock and more meaningful to us than the traditional type songs.

    We're having Adele Make You Feel My Love....the first time I heard the song I took the laptop to my OH and played it to him and said when we got married (we weren't even engaged or thinking about ith then!) that we had to include it somewhere because the lyrics were so beautiful.

    When we started planning our wedding, I asked if he had any ideas for a first dance song (thinking he wouldn't as he doesn't really listen to much music) and he suggested the Adele song ? It still makes me well up when I hear it because the words are so true. Man I am soppy as!!!

    It's always been sort of assumed that we will have Stardust (Rule the world) by Take That because it's "our song" and we love the film but now i'm wondering whether to have something else - i'm loving the book of love by Peter Gabriel at the moment but it's a bit slow and i've been trying for the past few months to convince OH we should have Time of my life from Dirty Dancing and learn the routine as it's my favourite film..... he's resisting so far but we'll see how long he can hold out!
