Help us decide!!! First dance songs!!

That's awesome! (: I vote for I Only Have Eyes for You.

Thanks Beth. That's what I'm leaning towards. It's just so romantic and I think would be perfect for a first dance!

We are using an "oldie but goodie" too. Love me tender.

Oohhhhhh I love that song Mrs Cheapskate! Anything by Elvis, really, is awesome! I love the oldies! There are some really pretty songs! Fh never heard 'only have eyes for you' and was blown away! I never heard 'lovers ways' and swooned over the lyrics! Just so sweet!

Anyone else have some good oldies they're using?!

"The Best Is Yet to Come," Frank Sinatra

UGHHHHHHHHHHHHH True Love Ways. I'm a Buddy Holly fanatic. Also, My Morning Jacket does a KILLER cover of that song.

We're doing a bluegrass cover of Springsteen's "On Fire" if that counts as an oldie (kind of almost does, sadly).

We're going for otis redding. Either "that's how strong my love is" or "these arms of mine".

We can't decide

Amanda - great choice! I personally love Sinatra but fh isn't a fan. He's a huge Buddy Holly fanatic like m m! That cover was nice, thanks, but I must admit, I adore all the horns in the original! Springsteen is a classic now I guess! lol Crazy how time flies! That's a great song and I'm sure the bluegrass cover would be gorgeous!

Samantha - "that's how strong my love is" was in my short list we made last night! Such an amazing sweet song!

John Legend is so over done. What about Ed Sheering Thinking Out Loud

Drop the Mic - that ones overdone as well in my opinion. Or, it will be when my wedding comes around! My step son is planning on singing and playing that song on his guitar for our bridal party dance so it will be played. I like it, but, not my top choice for our first dance

@Samantha We're doing These Arms of Mine! You're the only other person on here that I've seen whose doing Otis Redding. Love his music

@DropTheMic Thinking Out Loud is just as over done, if not more!

We are doing the John Legend song All of me but since its been SOOO over done we are doing a boyce avenue acoustic cover version

We chose "always" by Atlantic Starr. Old but good and speaks to us

@soontobeMrsi love the boyce acoustic!

Fh and I liked the Art Garfunkel song out of the two but he says your silly for not wanting John Legend. This is our song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzX0rhF8buo. A bit different than all of yours but it's more our speed.

"True Love Ways" would be my personal fav of the two, but Garfunkel's version is pretty special as well. Just make sure your DJ starts "TLW" at "Just You know why". My version, a cleaned up, digital version, includes some introductory studio noise and a tech giving the take number before Buddy begins singing. If I remember right, the song was meant as a gift/apology to his wife, whom he felt he had neglected when he was extensively touring right before he recorded it. Either one will be good tho. Use the other for an Anniversary dance or when you cut the cake or as a last song, then you'll have both

I love anything by Buddy Holly. We're using We Belong Together by Ritchie Valens. There will be lots of oldies at our wedding because we hired a rockabilly band! I'm excited!

BTW, the John Legend song is nice, but when it really hit last year probably every other wedding I did used it as their first dance. Even now, I'd say one in five use it. What I like is when the song is unique. When people here "All of Me" they may not immediately associate it with your big dance because it has been so popular, but if Buddy or Art comes on they will be taken right back to your first dance without any other memories cluttering up that recollection. Good luck Amanda & congrats!
