First Dance Song

Remember only 2 opinions matter...yours and your FH. I think I only told my MOH before the wedding, I didn't care what others thought. It was between me and the hubby. This was our first dance song...This I Promise You by Ronan Keating

I agree with Jenn ^^....the only opinions that matter are yours and your FH!! We haven't told anyone our first dance song. I feel like it is meant to be something special for the two of us to share in that moment. We are dancing to Everything by Michael Buble.

Thank you guys! I am about to tell them that just me and my FH will know the song until the day…maybe I just should! We do not have private families so I don't know how well that news will be received lol.

I loved the song Everything, too, Future_Mrs. The hubby said he would be too nervous dancing to a song that's so fast (he's much more comfortable slow dancing).

I feel so bad for him because he wants to do the first dance (I've asked 1,000 times) but he is 1) uncomfortable in the spotlight and 2) uncomfortable dancing…especially in the spotlight. Hopefully dance lessons will help his confidence! Has anyone else taken dance lessons? Did they help?

Couldn't agree more ^^

We danced to "From this moment" - Shania Twain.

Just pick a song that means something for you and your FH. With so much going on while you're planning a wedding, stressing about your first song is the last thing you should be doing. It's your moment with your FH and you will be the one dancing to the song. We didn't tell anyone about our song, it was a surprise for everyone, including the wedding party

Lindsey...my FH does not dance at all and he is too embarrassed to take dance lessons so we have just been practicing in our living room lol It seems to be working!

My DH doesn't dance and also hates the spot light. We didn't do any fancy dancing, and didn't practice. Just his hands around my waist and my arms around his neck...my dress hid his feet and we were good to go...just a nice slow circle lol.

Don't worry!!!! My husband HATES the spotlight and does not slow dance or anything and was SO nervous about it. i just talked to him and sang the entire time so he wouldn't think about it lol! he did fine! we don't slow dance so all we basically did was just turn around to the beat lol.....try not to worry! it goes by fast and it will be worth it!

we danced to "the story" by sarah simmons. i just really like the lyrics and it's my style...and it's the one song he didn't think was stupid haha.

Oh yes... every family member wants to give 2 cents on first dance song... so we said, we are keeping under wraps... done!

Michael buble close your eyes

Can't help falling in love- Ingrid Michelson

Love me tender- Barbra striesand and Elvis duet

Agree- choose a song that means something to you two and don't tell anyone else until they hear it at the reception. That's what we did, what my sister did, what our friend have done.. it's one easy day to wipe away a stressful decision and make it just about the two of you.

This is not a show that your mom is producing. It is your wedding, and your first dance can be an intensely emotional experience. It has ZIP to do with your mother. If you liked the songs you mentioned, then pick one of them. Whatever you decide, this is a decision that is as personal as your vows. Make it yourselves, and then keep it to yourselves.

Oh, and old is necessarily bad. The song, "Unchained Melody", was written almost 50 years ago and it still ranks as one of the most popular and recorded songs in history.

^^The Centerpiece always gives such epic advice <3

We chose a song from our favorite local band and are choreographing a dance to it. It's not your standard first dance song so maybe if you are going to do dance lessons anyway, pick a song that you two personally love even if it's not traditional. Just saying it might help if you think outside the box.

All songs are "stupid." Pick a song you both like and don't tell anyone.

For us it was between "I Do" by Jessie James Decker or "Look After You" by The Fray. I also like Shania Twain songs for a first dance, but you should pick something that's meaningful for you two.

We really struggled to chose a song... I did NOT want to use something overused... I asked my FH to pick a song, and about once a week I'd ask him & he would say he hadn't come up with anything. Well one night we were having a heated discussion (about his lack of input in our wedding) & he said he just could not think of any songs, every time he tried he kept going back to Jason Aldean.

I asked him why he hadn't just told me that instead of putting me off every time? When we first started dating, if we were bored we would ride dirt road in his old pick up and listen to Jason Aldean on repeat ALL night long. & the first time we really talked it was about a Jason A. song he had played in his truck that was parked next to mine during our lunch break. So it made sense we would chose a song by him, since he played such a large part in our relationship. I didnt have to think very long, Jason aldean did a remake of Bryan Adam's Heaven that we have alive acoustic version of, and even though Heaven is used a lot, that version meant something to us. IT just fit our relationship.

Moral of the story is when you find a song that fits your relationship, you will know, it'll be just right & it wont matter what anyone thinks of it, just that you two love it.

Good Luck, & let us know what you choose (unless you keep it hush hush)!

Oh my gosh Natassia I LOVE "I do" by Jessie James decker! My husband was so picky and did not like it but I still made them play it at the wedding even tho it wasn't our first song! Lol

The only opinion that really matters is yours and your FH. I have learned the more I share with other about the details of our wedding the more upset I get. I totally understand everyone will have their opinion, but when they are rude of just shoot my idea down it sucks. So I have just stopped sharing stuff and things have gotten much better lol! We have it narrowed down to 2 songs, "More than anyone" by Gavin Degraw and "We are man and wife" by Michele Featherstone

We're using "Danny's Song" by Loggins and Messina. FMIL hates it because she thinks that song will "make people think you're expecting and it will be so embarrassing for me."... Did I mention she's nuts?

Ally, I feel like you and I would be friends in real life
