Song for your first dance

Chinafoot · 13-07-2006 03:51PM #1

So what was/will be the song you have for your first dance as husband and wife?

I'd like something a little different, more upbeat. Not too into the slow songs when trying to kick off a party

My sister had 'Best of my love' by The Emotions. Really good first song.

Think the Wannadies 'You and Me Song' would be a good one too.

Spandau Ballet-True was ours.:)

although not engaged yet me and my long term boyfriend have talked about this and for he minute we've settled on amazed. Though it'll probably change by the time we actually get engaged.

Though I am not engaged, nowhere near I know that mine is going to be You do Something to Me - Paul Weller

When I got married the first song was Jilted John by Jilted John. Oh how some of us laughed our holes off when it came on. See, the best man was my mate John, and she used to go out with him before I dropped her older sister for her.

She's since dropped me for John's brother.
I'm now with her younger sister.

We had Sting's fields of gold. Not because it's a regular first dance song but because it is a special song for us. For our slow set we had Keane's on a day like today (nearly made first dance song. Amazing song, very appropriate). Even the DJ commented on what a great song it was. We also had David Greys this years love.

How about the Ramones cover version of 'Baby, I love you'. It's brilliant, a friend of mine had it played at their wedding - and it went down really well..

babaduck · 14-07-2006 12:52PM

We had "How Do I Live" by Trisha Yearwood - it's from Con Air which was the first film we saw together (spewie!!!)

SingingCherry · 14-07-2006 02:18PM

We had This years Love by David Grey. I was that or First Day od My Life by Brighteyes.

LegacyUser · 14-07-2006 10:28PM

We had Phil Collins...Grovey kinda love...absolute cracker.

LadyJ · 17-07-2006 11:10AM

"At Last",by Ella Fitzgerald (I think).

If it's anything it was always going to be the Beach Boys' "God Only Knows (where I'd be without you)" as it's always been our song. But lately all I think about when I hear it is poligamy!*

I also love Sia's "Breath Me" since it was used for the final montage in SFU. It really makes me think about the importance of family and living your life right because eventually you will die. Not as morbid as it sounds, and it is a beautiful track.

*As it's used as the theme tune for Big Love, the HBO series about a Utah man and his 3 wives.

My cousin had the Beatles – love me do. Pretty cool upbeat song.

I suppose Engelbert Humperdinck's "Please Release Me" is inappropriate?

Tennage wedding - Chuck Berry

...you know where I'm going with this

We were undecided between 'I'll come running' by Brian Eno, and 'You can have it all' by Yo La Tengo, but I don't know, this could be a new forerunner.

It's a classic song done with a punky twist - you can't go wrong!!

Ok so, after seeing an episode of Everybody Loves Raymond - where Robert gets married and they do a choroegraphed dance for the 1st dance (not really a tight dance set but you know that they took a few classes like

)

So.. meself and herself are gonna spend ages on a routine for 'I've had the time of my Life' from Dirty Dancing. Maybe I'll even do the lift!

Edit - it's supposed to be cheesy btw, cheesy and fun. Hopefully it'll look deadly on the video

Getting married in June and the band are playing "Let's Stay Together" by Al Green for our first dance. We both love it.

Although that Dirty Dancing choreography idea is tempting...

elz · 02-08-2006 11:57PM

Was looking on line for ideas and one song had alot of hits from people checking it out .... "Cross my heart" ( George Strait )

Hope it all goes well - Good luck!

Figment · 02-08-2006 11:58PM

"Your face" from the frames. Everyone else was supposed to join in after a minute but they left us out there for the full song. Embarrassing but lovely at the same time

BrookieD · 03-08-2006 08:15PM

29 days to go and were having Christie Moore's "The Voyage"

Getting closer by the min

Gandhi · 04-08-2006 01:28PM

We had "That's Amore" by Dean Martin.

RE*AC*TOR · 04-08-2006 01:30PM

Harry Connick Jr - It Had To Be You, is leading the pack at the moment for us.

tSubh Dearg · 06-08-2006 11:25AM

I was at a wedding last year where the first song was "Beyond the Sea" by Bobby Darin and the bride and groom had worked out a little dance routine for it. (she was a trained dancer)

It was great, all swing dance stuff, very memorable and a great tune

GretchenWieners · 06-08-2006 05:59PM

Christina Aguilera-Dirty. Set us off for the wedding night!

Closely followed by Busta Rhymes' Touch It (remix)

Quality.

About time you two got married!
<gets shotgun>

Id like this song to be played on the night. Just for the comedy value, what with there being two future mother-in-laws present.

dajoy · 07-08-2006 07:49PM

Thank you for loving me - Bon Jovi. Check it out.

GretchenWieners · 08-08-2006 12:24AM

One song I'd definitely consider is Why Don't We Fall In Love from Amerie. Released a few years ago and is modern, upbeat and just such a nice song!! Take a listen to it seriously!! Let me know what ye think. I always get a nice feeling inside me when I hear it!

Tin Goddess · 24-08-2006 08:41PM

Nick cave into my arms is a favorite of mine

Song for your first dance
