First Dance song - Help!!!

Amy , on September 5, 2010 at 5:57 AM Posted in Planning 0 21

Hi Everyone,

Although I'm reading here a lot, this is my first post...

We are having a very difficult time picking a first dance song,

I really love "Can't Help Falling In Love" by Julio Iglesias http://myweddingmusical.com/song/First-Dance/389/Cant-Help-Falling-In-Love.aspx

but my fiance want something more original.

I would love some originals ideas... What is your first dance song?

Thanks!!!

    PS on the right hand side there is a place where you can "google search" within the forums and if you punch in first dance I can almost guarantee you a bunch of posts with all sorts of answers will pop up. Good luck!

    We picked "My Best Friend" by Tim McGraw...but there are tons of choices out there. Best of luck finding that special song that sais everything you would say to eachother without speaking!

    Why not do the original version by Elvis? I know it seems cheesy but it's a classic!

    U2 does a great version as well.

    There's also a duet version by Katharine McPhee & Andrea Bocelli that's beautiful.

    And there's one by Ingrid Michaelson as well.

    Do you two have a special song that is just "yours"? Even if it isn't a traditional love song, maybe you can find a version that is slow enough to dance to and you can turn it into your first dance song.

    Here are two great songs I would recommend if you want something less typical/traditional:

    Bebe Winans - When I found You http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYftQ0B_zvg

    Air Supply - Dance With Me http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epr_m1Gi2Z4

    Good luck!

    We aren't very original at all. FH didn't like a lot of the country songs i suggested because he comes from a punk rock/heavy metal background. Right now we're 100% set on "I See You" by Leona Lewis. Very random, but I love everything that song has to say Smiley smile

    Our first song is "I'll Keep on Lovin' You" by Reba McEntire, but we definitely have history & that song hits the nail on the head. Our first pick was "Can't take my eyes off you" by Lady Antebellum, then we wanted Free by Zac Brown Band. And I've also thought about When I Look At You by Miley Cyrus but that one turned out to be the one my Dad is walking me down the aisle to.

    We just recently decided on our first dance song... it is going to be Fallen by Lauren Wood. I find the song romantic and sexy, and definitely something we can groove to! Smiley winking

    We used Leonard Cohen's, "Dance Me to the End of Love." We really liked it, because its theme seemed to be less, "I want you right now!", and more staying in love over the years.

    Usher- Here I Stand

    The line "I know it gets hard when I'm moving in and out of state/but I promise my heart for your I will save" really describes us :-)

    I was debating using Rascal Flatts- Bless the Broken Road because I just love that song so much. I don't really like the songs section of WW because there isn't much rhyme or reason besides song title to the way they are arranged, but if you google it, you can find CDs and just look at their track lists.

    We are dancing to "It's Your Love" by Tim McGraw & Faith Hill.

    I agree with Marine...the Songs section of WW is not all that helpful because of it's lack of organization...although I did find my father daughter dance there.

    We're not very typical but, we're doing our first dance to Led Zeppelin - Thank you, or Van Morrison - Moondance. We're a rocker couple and arent into that whole mushy situation Smiley smile My mushy song will be our last song together and that's Maybe I'm Amazed by Paul McCartney

    My cousin did Accidentally in love (from the Shrek movies) it was cute!

    Ours I think will be The calling's Wherever you Will Go (since we've been in a loooong distance relationship and thats a song that always reminded us of one another) :-)
