First Dance Song?!

What is your first dance song? FH and I are having the worst time agreeing on one. We both want something different, as in no 90's R&B song that has been WAY overplayed. He doesn't want country. He's making this extremely difficult lol.

    I'll Be by Edwin Mccain. It was the first song we ever danced to, so it's been "our song."

    Future Mrs. Coombs isn't it a fabulous song?! I love that it's not one used by a lot of people too.

    Every time I hear this song I think of my FH... I let him listen to the song and he agreed it should be our first dance song.

    FH's pick is "More Thank You'll Ever Know" by Travis Tritt. I think it's a little too fast paced, but since he really hasn't had opinions on much else, we may go with it. I really like "Hey Pretty Girl" by Kip Moore, it's a newer song but when I heard it, it made me think of our first dance.

    We had originally planned on a thousand years by Christina Perri, but i think i'm going to use that as my entrance song, so we havne't decided on a replacement yet.

    As a P.S., I'm a big fan of, if you'll be doing your first dance song with just the two of you, to shorten it to about 2, or 2.5 minutes. Same with any parent dances, to help keep things moving.

    Otherwise you can combine songs: you and your dad start a song, then after 1 minute or so, your groom invites his mom to join you. Basically, just to keep things moving.

    We're going to dance to You've Got a Friend in Me from Toy Story. I've wanted it since I was a little kid. But we'll do our last dance to The Luckiest by Ben Folds.

    Originally we were going to do "You Got Lucky" - the Corey Taylor cover - but just the other day my FH decided that he didn't want that song...

    Other choices on our list:

    History in the Making - Darius Rucker

    Unforgettable - Nat King Cole

    Reigning Blues - This Way (local band from Portland, ME)

    But we also want to dance to something creative & out of the norm...

    Keep the suggestions coming.

    We're struggling with this now. Our current list is "The Way I Am" by Ingrid Michaelson and "Here, There, and Everywhere," by the Beatles. We'd love to do the Ramones version of "Baby I Love You," but that would take a lot of dance practice.

    "Out Loud" by Dispatch. We have always loved that song as a couple. Not your typical first dance song but the song means something to us.
