Different 1st dance songs ...

Future Mrs. T, on April 22, 2012 at 11:54 AM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 24

Anyone doing any different first dance songs? I'm trying to let FH have some say in it haha ... and we both love the song .. "is this love" by Bob Marley ... is that weird? Its a great song. We are taking dance lessons starting next month and I will ask the instructor how they feel about that song!

    We are going with "God Gave Me You" by Blake Shelton. We are big country music fans!

    We did a swing dance to Leonard Cohen's "Dance Me to the End of Love." The ironic thing is that I've never seen anyone else use that song. However, at one point, we were taking a dance lesson at a local park, and a wedding was going on nearby. And suddenly, we heard our own first dance song playing at the other wedding.

    We are doing "Grow Old With You" by Adam Sandler. Definitely not traditional, but neither are we! I love unique wedding songs - go for it!

    Friends of mine were married last night. They danced their first dance to "The Rainbow Connection". It wasn't the version Kermit the Frog sings, so at first no one realized what it was. It was cute.

    We're dancing to "No Other Way" by Paolo Nutini.

    My now-husband recorded an acoustic version of The Day I Met You and we danced to that. Do whatever makes you happy!

    I agree do what makes you happy!! It should be a song that you both like! We're doing Amazed by Lonestar -- FH doesn't like anything if its not

    We were originally going to do Amazed by Lonestar but then everyone started doing it which is why we're going with God Gave Me You. It is newer so it has been done fewer times.

    When I'm 64 by The Beatles <3

    It was the only thing I kept from our orignal Beatles themed wedding, but FH shot that down (but let me have polka dots, go figure)

    Havn't fully decided but really like Adam Sandler "grow old with you"

    I wanna make you smile whenever you're sad

    Carry you around when your arthritis is bad

    Oh all I wanna do is grow old with you

    I'll get your medicine when your tummy aches

    Build you a fire if the furnace breaks

    Oh it could be so nice, growing old with you

    I'll miss you

    Kiss you

    Give you my coat when you are cold

    Need you

    Feed you

    Even let ya hold the remote control

    So let me do the dishes in our kitchen sink

    Put you to bed when you've had too much to drink

    I could be the man who grows old with you

    I wanna grow old with you

    FH suggested just playing the whole wedding singer soundtrack for the wedding.

    We choose "Woman like you" -- Lee Brice - we love country music.

    We added comedy by choosing Weird Al - "Eat It" for the cake cutting!
