Anyone NOT Doing A Country Song for a 1st Dance?

Posted in Planning 68

I understand country is the go to genre for romantic dances, but it's not our genre of choice. Is anyone out there NOT doing a country song for their first dance? We were planning on "Oh, It is Love" by Hellogoodbye! even though it's not really dance-able. I also have nooo idea where to begin with...

    @Jamie - My FH is the SAME way. I can't even get him to sit through ONE country song.. but we both love The Used and everyone makes fun of us for calling each other "baby" too often.. so it really just makes sense haha.

    We haven't picked, but I know there is no way FH would agree to country... nor would I probably suggest it

    I haven't really given this much thought. I'm going beg my brother to sing "With You" by Tony Terry at some point during the ceremony.

    Maybe the first dance will be to "You" by Jesse Powell.

    I am so not a country fan, even though FH is, so we agreed on something a little more classic. We are doing "A Wink and A Smile" by Harry Connick Jr. I think we are going to take some dance classes to go along with it.

    I wasn't 100% sure at first but we are dancing to Kem's "Share My Life". This has been our song from almost day one and whenever I hear it I get a rush of love for him (FH) and then one day recently we were riding in the car and we began talking about the CD and specifically the song and he quietly told me that when he hears it, he thinks about our relationship and sometimes it makes him emotional (don't tell him I told you guys :-) ) right then and there was when I decided, we had to have our 1st dance to our song.

    We'll be together for four years in November... and I finally got him listening to country music full on two years ago. LOL Despite that, we are not doing country for a first dance (very unlikely).

    We'll either be dancing to "Stolen" by Dashboard Confessional (slower, mellow version)

    or "The Book of Love" by Peter Gabriel. My fiance is a HUGE Scrubs fan. lol
