SPINOFF - First Dance Songs!

Truly, Madly, Deeply by Savage Garden - its been our song for years & the first song we ever slow danced to

A mash up of two songs our DJ did for us after we told him we want it to be no longer than 3 minutes max.

1) Amazed - Boyz II Men

2) Shut up and Dance - Walk the Moon

I'm so happy we did this because I almost started to ugly cry during the first song but the 2nd song snapped me out of it LOL

I reallyy wanted "everything" by michael buble but we practiced dancing it & it was horrible lol. FH isn't much of a dancer so we need something really slow so we can just 2 step

Your Song by Ellie Goulding

Danny's Song by Loggins and Messina

'You're My Best Friend' by Queen. I happen to love Queen, and we didn't want a sappy song.

Thinking out loud-Ed Sheeran

Amanda that was our song for our entire engagement and FH just decided we are kind of over it now and we are going to go with Jason mraz I wont give up

We were thinking Feeling Good by Michael Buble. After dance lessons we don't think are up to it haha. FH really likes "Thinking Out Loud" too! I like that he has a strong opinion about it and we could def dance to it. I really like the acoustic version of "Latch" by Sam Smith. FH prefers Thinking out loud. Luckily we have 6 months to figure it out!

This was a super easy choice for us. We have a handful of songs that we play for each other and listen to together sometimes, but one in particular that is without doubt "our song."

It's called "You Make it Look so Easy" by Eric Church.

Runners up were In Spite of Ourselves by John Prine, and Heaven by Bryan Adams (Cheesy I know, but *Swoon*)

"Spend My Life With You" Eric Benet and Tamia

OMG, Heaven by Bryan Adams...that is a CLASSIC!!!

Kendra, you look to young to know that song..hehe.

@Kendra I love In Spite of Ourselves, LOL.

FH picked La Vie En Rose by Louis Armstrong.

We are using "I Choose You" by Andy Grammer

So far leaning towards "That's How Strong My Love Is" by Otis Redding. FH also likes "At Last" but I feel like that's so common. I never knew picking a first dance song would cause me so much anxiety lol...

Mean to Me-Brett Eldredge

We're leaning toward "You Send Me" by Sam Cooke. If it were just up to me, that would be the one but I'm still working on FH. He would choose a Bob Dylan song but none of them are really wedding appropriate...

Turning Page by Sleeping At Last. It has amazingly sweet lyrics.

I surrender who I’ve been for who you are

For nothing makes me stronger than your fragile heart

If I had only felt how it feels to be yours

Well I would have known

What I’ve been living for all along

What I’ve been living for

We picked: You ruined everything- Jonathan Coulton

I wanted to incorporate at least one of his songs into our wedding, but I'm thinking of changing my mind because the song is actually about the day his daughter was born.

Others I've thought of:

Pirates Look at 40- Jimmy Buffett (This is the song I thought we would dance to)

Drops of Jupiter- Train

Sea of Love- Tom Waits (cover)

Beyond the Sea- Bobby Darin

Were not doing a first dance at our vow renewal but we might just do a couples dance or an anniversary dance and I really like "Love Song" by Miranda Lambert. It's the perfect song about marriage in my opinion.
