First Dance song suggestions.....

OG FMP, on March 12, 2015 at 12:34 PM

Ok so I had my mind set on John Legend "All of me" for our first dance but that song has gotten so played out that I actually switch the radio station when I hear it. I do love the lyrics, I just hate the fact that its so "popular" FH and I love R&B - We would rather have a 80s/90s song but there...

FH and I love R&B - We would rather have a 80s/90s song but there are so many! Can you ladies help me out. I will of course have FH listen to it and we'll decide together. I just need some ideas. I have looked at WW "songs" tab, but would like your input. What song are you dancing to?? Thanks!

    We are having such a hard agreeing on this. FH loves "I Don't Dance" by Lee Brice, but it's completely from the man's perspective and I would feel like people would think I was being conceited by picking it out when in all reality I didn't. :/ I'm going to keep creeping on this thread for ideas lol.

    At first we were going to do "Can't Smile Without You" by Barry Manilow but decided on "Here For You" by Ozzy Osbourne.

    Ooh if you want to take it back you could do one of my all time faves and bring back Ginuwine- Differences. It was over done for a while but it fell off plus the words are kinda perfect for a wedding

    Reggae Lady--LOVE that song! It made the play list but we opted for a waltz since we did best with that in our dance lessions

    I want "Underneath your clothes" by Shakira. My FH likes "All of me", maybe ill have dj mix one after the other so we can do both Smiley smile

    This is my favorite part of the song

    'Cause of you, I forgot the smart ways to lie

    Because of you, I'm running out of reasons to cry

    When the friends are gone, when the party's over

    We will still belong to each other

    Underneath your clothes

    There's an endless story

    There's the man I chose

    There's my territory

    And all the things I deserve

    For being such a good girl honey

    @FMP- Welp. Thats done then, lol. Whenever I think back to the 90s I realize that the "love songs" were actually all very dirty and raunchy. But those were my jams tho.... lol.

    Ok 80's! Watch this. It is a cover of Heaven by Bryan Adams by Boyce Avenue. I think it is so pretty. I may even use it.

    We are very limited because we dont have a DJ nor did we hire the band. We are going into the bar that is attached to the restaurant where we are having our dinner reception. There is a low budget, long standing, house band that plays there. Theyre pretty good, but only play basic stuff. So, we are going to have them play Elvis Love me tender, because ...well...EVERYBODY knows that song and I sing it to ky FH often.

    LOL at the above comments because Ginuwine's "Differences" was my "song" with my very first boyfriend. So no way would I want to hear that at my wedding. Hahaha. I'm thinking about John Legend's "Stay With You" or Otis Redding "That's How Strong My Love Is." FH doesn't have much of an opinion on it. We both love Marc Anthony but I don't want to have to worry about taking salsa lessons on top of all the other wedding to-do stuff.
