First Dance Songs, what are yours?

Erin, on January 18, 2011 at 1:47 PM Posted in Planning 0 21

Hey girls, I'm just wondering what ideas you have for your first dance song with your groom! We have 3 top choices: Faithfully by Journey, Don't Want to Miss a Thing by Aerosmith and Moment Like This by Vanessa Williams. What are yours?

Also, for my Father Daughter dance I was thinking of Beauty and the Beast. It was our favorite movie to watch together when I was little but I know it's not meant for father/daughter...what are your thoughts on this?

    We had a Phantom of the Opera theme so my party came out to the song Masquerade, my fiance came out as the Phantom (mask and all) and we danced to Music of the Night hehe...though, if you like Journey (Faithfully is one of my favorite songs!) you might consider their song "With your Love." That definitely sounds like a first dance song.

    We were going to go with Firehouse -"When I Look Into Your Eyes", because i'm a fan of the old-school music. (old school being anything that came out before I was born haha) But it's up in the air since we heard about "Tangled Up In You" by Staind on another posting. He likes the new song and I can't decide!

    Father Daughter will most likely be Daddy be Kendall Payne, or Cinderella by Steven Curtis Chapman. I originally always planned to use Butterfly Kisses by Bob Carlisle but my younger sister wants to use it at her wedding so I relented.

    Our first song was At Last. Father/daugher, I loved her first. I think the beauty and the beast, if it has sentimental meaning between you and your dad is perfect!! It'll always be special to you! Songs in your weddding are very important. Our BP walked down to "All for love" by Brian Adams/Sting/Rod Stewart. I walked down to bless the broken road. Every time I hear these songs, my heart jumps right back to that moment in time! It's a beautiful feeling and I still get chills! we walked out as husband and wife to a moment like this, kelly clarkson! Pick whatever makes you feel special and fits your feelings! ONly you know what they are!

    We're using "Can't take my eyes off you" by Lady Antebellum

    @Cecy B. We were once considering "Only You Can Love Me This Way" (I love the background music in that song)

    Another song I've heard recently that I would have jumped on if we hadn't picked a song already is "Marry Me" by Train

    Right now it is between Michael Buble "You and I" and Chantal Kreviazuk "Feels Like Home" - These are the only two songs that I really see us dancing to but I still need to get FH to listen to both and see if he likes one more then the other .... for me I am leaning more towards "Feels Like Home"

    As for the Father-Daughter dance I am having two (one with my real dad and one with my step-dad)

    Butterfly Kisses by Bob Carlisle for my real dad

    My Little Girl by Tim McGraw for my step-dad

    I am walking down with my son to "Marry Me" by Train ( seems to be a popular choice) lol. When we walk down after ceremony we will play "stuck like glue" by Sugarland. Our first dance is "Fall" by Clay Walker, no bridal party dance or father daughter dance but we may do a "family" dance with myself, my son, and FS to something fun! My son is 4 and loves to dance!

    @ ~His Angel~ - I love love love Michael Buble, and wanted to do one of this songs as well! But FH isn't into him and only listens because he loves me. So, as not to torture him, i'm just going to play it as a reception song instead of first dance song.
