Please help me with my 1st dance song

Tina, on June 26, 2019 at 9:21 PM Posted in Wedding Reception 0 22
I know I know.. this gets beat to death here but I'm so torn on what song to dance too. Why can't I mix in 4 different songs? Lol. I want a song that most people will know.. but not something that everyone plays or will expect and something that screams the love we share. I've narrowed it down to these

1. James Arthur Say you won't let go. Every word was written for us except the alcohol part. But that's pretty popular and to be expected. Although it moves my soul

2. Myron-Dystany. I know right.. you don't even know this one. It's a one hit wonder from 1998 when we 1st met and its technically our song. Afraid no one will know it and they won't be able to appreciate it ya know?
3. Raheem Devaughn-You. Omg I adore this song and it reminds me of my honey so its ridiculous but its maybe not known enough either.
4. Tamia-Still ... good one since we are still together after a zillion years but it's just ok to me

1. Reminds me of us the most
2. Reminds me of the teenage us
3. Reminds me of the bedroom us
4. Reminds me of the song that should best resp us

Help please 😊😊😊❤

    I think you’re overthinking this. Not any song would represent you perfectly because it was not written for you and your FH. Just pick the song that makes you happy and gives you chill and you picture smiling everytime you listen to it after your wedding day.
    Good luck Smiley smile

    You are right, I don’t know song two! Lol But I think you should skip the songs that are just ok to you, also if no one else in that whole room knows the song but you and FH, if it makes you two happy that’s all that matters!

    Go for the one that SPEAKS to BOTH of your hearts. And to be blunt: Screw everyone else. THIS moment is totally about YOU TWO! The rest of the day/night is for everyone else more or less.... and most of the music later will be for them, soooooo- go for the song that means the most to YOU. What one would make you saddestif it WAS NOT your first song? THAT is the one to pick.

    It definitely doesn't matter if other people know your wedding song. If anything, you are exposing them to new music! As others have said, go with whatever song you and your fiance are the most moved by. If the second is what you consider your song and your only hesitation is that people may not know it, then I would do that one. This is the song you'll think back on fondly for years. In 20 years, you won't be thinking about if Aunt Karen or Cousin Jimmy weren't familiar with it, but you will remember dancing with your husband to the song.

    I'd probably go with #2.
    I dont know it. But it doesnt matter, if you love it, go for it! No one else will be dancing to it. Just you guys!
    I love #1, but I share your feelings on it.

    Pick a song that means something to. Our first dance will be to the song "don't you wanna stay" by Kelly Clarkson and Jason aldean that played on his alarm the morning we finally started dating.

    Who care if they don’t know the song! It’s y’all wedding day not theirs!! You could play the Sesame Street song, now if you do I am going to sing it as y’all dance!! But that’s just me!!! Have a song that means something you the both of you!! Their also not going to remember your song but they will remember the love and happiness they see when y’all dance!!

    If you're going to do any choreography and/or go to a dance studio for help with the first dance, have them help you decide. They'd help by listening to the songs, seeing your level of dance, and choosing what would fit best. My studio even will do mash ups if that's what the couple wants.
    I'll tell you now that of those songs that I know (I don't know #2), #3 would be the most difficult to choreograph something for. I can only picture it as bolero, and it would be very slow. Combining #1 and #4 somehow might be nice.

    Adding that to the music play list for sure. That was one of the songs we sang to each other the 1st day we meet. LOL

    Probably not a dry eye during your dance =)Smiley heart

    He doesn't remember at all lol but definitely pick something that means something to you guys, something that takes you back to that special moment, this is something you guys will remember. I've been to two weddings this year and for the life of me, I can not remember the songs they did their first dance to.

    I gave this decision to my fiance.
    He told me he was considering Fade Into You by Mazzy Star. But not confirmed yet.
