First Dance Song

While making our wedding playlist my husband and I went back and forth being finding our perfect first dance song. We didn't any "traditional" wedding songs but we wanted a song that would communicate our love for one another. For our first dance, we danced on the clouds to Case's "Happily Ever After".

The lyrics include lines such as:

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I will be your man
Your protector, your best friend
Till my humble life is ended
And time begins again, couldn't we be...

[Chorus]
Couldn't we be happily ever after?
We could be strong together for so long
My love is oh so strong
Couldn't we be happily ever after?
Couldn't we be?
Leaving you never till forever's gone

What did you decide on as your first dance song?First Dance Song 1

    Thankfully there's 15 months between now and the big day so there's time to choose. Options right now are:
    Wildflowers by Tom Petty.
    Tennessee Whiskey by Chris Stapleton.
    Perfect by Ed Sheran (played on our way to where he proposed).
    At Last by Etta James.

    Not quite there yet but for our first dance I told FH that I'm dying for it to be Over and Over Again by Nathan Sykes. I have a few options for the aisle walk so that one's going to be a little bit before I make a decision but it's ok because we have time lol

    Glad you liked it! One of my personal favs. It was actually my fiancé’s idea for our dance though.

    "Perfect" always takes me back to when and where we were when we got engaged. But we both love Tom Petty and the sound of Etta James' voice. And for a man who doesn't like dance, "Tennessee Whiskey" is one song he dances to with me. So there are reasons for each son.
