First Dance Songs - Strength and Love

NerdLove, on July 16, 2016 at 11:18 PM Posted in Community Conversations 0 5

So, I've been looking through a lot of first dance songs since FH and I have yet to decide, and I have seen a LOT of songs about how far someone would go for the person they love or how much they love that person, which is fantastic. However, I feel like FH and I need a little something extra, something about how strong we are together. Little backstory, we've been long distance for the majority of our friendship and our relationship. He's going to be moving here on a fiance visa (and we're getting so close to that day, yay!), and we've both helped each other so much through hard times. So, I'm curious, what songs do you feel show the strength of (your) love? Here are a few examples:

"Long Hard Climb" by Neil Diamond (love this one, but it's my parents' wedding song AND it's not FH and my style)

"Ready for Anything" by Landon Austin (again, love it, but I want other options, too)

    Have you tried country songs? There's so many. I love Cowboys and angels.

    Small back story to mine: FH knew not too long after we met he wanted to be with me and was convinced we were going to get married some day. That was almost 3 years ago now. We've been together for a little over a year now. Even through me avoiding his advances and throwing every lame excuse in the book at him we stayed friends. Until things changed in my head and heart and i realized i was deeply in love with him and couldn't picture my life without him. So our song is 'One Step Ahead' by A Great Big World.

    Take a listen to "Taking you home" by Don Henley-there's a great line about finding strength you never knew you had. Sounds like you have a beautiful love story!

    @SarahAnn, FH and I were the same way! He and I were friends for years before we started in a relationship. He told me that he was attracted to me long before we started dating, and he was always there for me regardless....then, the first time he came to visit in person...the second I saw him, I knew I was going to marry him. And then he walked right up to me and kissed me in the airport. haha. The rest, as they say, is history....yet only the beginning.

    @TMNT Bride, love the name. Nice to see another nerd bride.
