Only ones I have figured out so far... father/daughter dance is 'i loved her first' by...heartland?? i think it is, and our last dance is 'then' by brad paisley. For our cake cutting song I am thinking about dust on the bottle but idk yet...

    All I have figured out, or at least think we have is..

    Our first dance will probably be from Bruno mars Just they way you are.

    Cake cutting will be pour some sugar on me. Smiley winking

    We aren't having a garter toss. Ever. I don't know what an apron dance is. I don't know what the last song should be but I will have to really think about that.

    @Stacey V- If you're a Bruno Mars fan he has a really great first dance song called Rest Of My Life. I wanted to change our song to that but FH isn't too big on Bruno Mars :/

    @Brandi- My sister and Dad danced to I Loved Her First at her wedding, it's such a beautiful song! And yes it's Heartland Smiley winking

    First Dance- I Wanna Know by Joe

    Last Dance- Possibly Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye

    Not doing garter or bouquet toss

    Cake Cutting- Yummy, Yummy, Yummy by Ohio Express

    Apron/Money Dance- Dynamite by Taio Cruz, Old Time Rock n Roll by Bob Segar, Mambo #5 by Lou Bega, The Way You Look Tonight by Elton John and Jump Jive and Wail

    Wedding Party Dance- It's gonna start off with You and Me by Lifehouse then go in to Did I Mention I Like to Dance, Jump On It, Thriller, U Can't Touch This then go back to the end of You and Me

    Father/Daughter Dance- Butterfly Kisses by Bob Carlslie

    I'm in the same boat right now, trying to figure these songs out. Here's the link to my post last week. Everyone gave me lots of ideas, so maybe it'll help you too.

    Last Dance....Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Free Bird"(inside joke)

    Father/Daughter....Al Martino's "Daddy's Little Girl"\

    Frank with my youngest daughter...Pink Floyd's "Shine on You Crazy Diamond"

    Frank will dance with my eldest daughter and I will dance with his son to James Taylor's "You've Got a Friend"

    In addition, throughout the night, our DJ will play each married guests first dance song, as part of our slow music. He will announce the song and guest, but we all can dance to it.

    Bouquet Toss- Probably "Pretty Girl Rock" by Keri Hilson

    First dance song-either Why don't we just dance? by Josh Turner (very special song to us) or Bless the Broken Road by Rascal Flatts. Not sure cause I don't know if I want it to be romantic and slow or fun, and a bit more upbeat.

    Father/Daughter song-I loved her First-By Heartland. I picked out the song for me and my dad when it first came out. I told my mom about it several years ago, and she bawled her eyes out.

    Bridal toss-All the single ladies (Put a ring on it)-Beyonce I know it's overplayed but it just seems like the perfect song for this

    Last song-Possibly Crazy Girl-Zac Brown Band or I love you this Big-Scotty McCreery

    That's all we have figured up so far.

    Rae, the apron dance, is the dollar dance. Its where you pay a dollar to dance with either the groom or bride and its 30 sec, its alot of fun.

    First dance: we're doing a combination of two caribbean song, same beat, one's about a girl having a crush and the other is the response from the guy, it relates to our story a lot (before that we were doing by your side by Sade)

    last dance: Time of my life or another caribbean group dance

    garter removal/toss: Removal-underneath it all by no doubt, toss: maybe who let the dogs out

    bouquet toss: definitely not single ladies (hate that song), I might do girls wanna have fun by Cyndi Lauper

    cake cutting: haven't thought of that yet

    apron dance: WHAT IS THAT?
