First Dance Song Choice

We are doing "Die A Happy Man" by Thomas Rhett. He's not really big into country like I am, but the first time he heard that song he loved it. I wanted "In Case You Didn't Know" by Brett Young but he wasn't as into that one, so we agreed on "Die A Happy Man." We have a "song" but it's too fast for that. We will incorporate it elsewhere into the reception.

We danced to Tangled's I see the light.

Just to add my two cents - we're dancing to "Best Thing That Ever Happened To Me" by Gladys Knight and The Pips (lyrics suit us to a tee), and Chuck Berry's "You Never Can Tell."

We danced to Faithfully by Journey. When my Husband and I started dating back in college, this was the first song we ever danced to. And it's been our song ever since. It was perfect our guests and even our DJ loved our choice.

We have picked out "Lean On Me" covered by Florence + the Machine for our first dance

Free or Sweet Annie by Zac Brown Band.

OR Perfect by Ed Sheeran. I cry every time I hear it.

A little relieved to know that I am not the only one with this issue!

I started a thread on this yesterday and I got lots of suggestions and great advice, the most brilliant one being to look for cover/ instrumental versions of songs whose lyrics we like.

We're struggling to pick between 4-5 songs ha We like This Must be the Place-Lumineers cover, Everlong- Acoustic for out top 2 but its SO hard!! We are thinking of testing them all out and seeing which one makes me cry when we get closer hahah

We finally settled on Kiss Me by Ed Sheeran. We were going with Give Me Love or Set Me On Fire by Bella Ferraro but it took months to figure it out lol

I ran a bunch of these past the FH just now, and he seems to hate every song with lyrics. Now we're leaning toward "Can't Help Falling in Love" Vitamin String Quartet version.

The first dance song is the only one I have nailed down. Its all the rest!!!

We're dancing to One and Only by Adele (but stopping once it gets to the no word part... I don't know what you call it LOL)

We ended up with Never Stop by SatefySuit. The wedding version though, don't use the regular. Hahaha

Yes!! We had the hardest time! Then one night I was listening to pandora and I had FH listen to it. Normally he doesn't like the band nor country music but he said that it fit us perfectly

I'm starting to seriously consider "Straight Into Your Arms" by Vance Joy. I wouldn't consider it a traditional first dance kind of song, but I love the overall message behind it and think it's sweet. I'm not totally sure yet though.

The only song I'm totally set on is "Never Grow Up" by Taylor Swift for the dance with my dad. I made him a photo slideshow in college to that song and my family's loved ever since.

I love Crazy Love by Van Morrison! That was always our song. It'll be our wedding song.

I know it's a cliche and so 2009, but we are dancing to Lucky by Jason Mraz. FH is not a music person and he likes it and it is sweet. It was that or All I want is You from the Juno soundtrack- a little difficult to dance to...

We danced to Harvest Moon by Neil Young. I wanted something slow and easy to dance to that was a classic.

ETA: For the father/daughter dance - we did "In my Life" by the Beatles. It would work for a combined dance as well!

ETA2: We had a live rock band... so that kind of influenced the decision as well regarding musical styles.

For the parents dance I will prob use: Child of Mine by Carole King! I loved it. Then when I asked my neighbor for help she said it. All I needed to hear.
