A Thousand Years by Christina Perri.. We LOOOOOVE the strings arrangement but since the first dance is usually after dinner (usually right??) the strings will be long gone by then..
@Cara, we are doing our dance right after introductions before dinner just to get it out of the way. We'll do the father/daughter, mother/son after dinner.
We are dancing to Babyface's "Everytime I close my eyes."
We are doing Ron Pope's "Reason Why" but I am really debating on doing "in case you didn't know" by Brett Young. FH likes the fact the first one is a duet
Nice, I was thinking somewhat the same thing as you! Why follow the supposed "traditional" order of events.. I was thinking that we COULD do the first dance just before everyone goes in to sit down.
We are not doing a first look, so our photos together will be just after the ceremony while the guests have their cocktail hour. I am thinking that when we return from the photos we could walk up to the patio and the strings could start the song and we have our first dance then. Also since the DJ should by there by then he could possibly play a piano version with the strings..
