Whats Your First Dance Song??

Desi, on July 30, 2011 at 12:34 AM

Posted in Planning 71

I hate the traditional first dance songs. I feel like alot of them are generic, but thats just my opinion. Please dont take offense! Ours is Tennessee Whiskey by David Allan Coe. Does anyone else have interesting first dance songs picked out??

    Our first song (at the moment) is My heart belongs to you - Peabo Bryson

    We both have had bad starts with others and it just fits.

    An old friend told me that your wedding song should be the first song that you danced together --- I have never heard that before or since. If that is the case, it would be

    Not 100% sure, but I think we're using My Everything by 98 Degrees

    @Jaclyn, we are having the same issue! Our song is (appropriately titled) "Our Song" by the Spill Canvas, but it is pretty fast and neither of us is super comfortable with our dancing skills so obviously slower is better lol. I think we are doing "Head Over Feet" by Alanis Morissette for our first dance. It perfectly decribes us but I still like the other one better. We will still play "Our Song" at some point during the reception, and maybe have the DJ announce something saying we dedicate it to each other or something like that, then we will still get to dance to it, and everyone will know that it is close to our hearts, but people won't be staring at as like they do for the first dance.

    To whoever mentioned the Darius Rucker song - OMG I just looked it up and I'm in love! Haha. I'm not a big country fan but I remembered him from back in the day when he was in Blessid Union of Souls so I just had to listen to it. It is a beautiful song.

    We are dancing to "Nothing Else Matters" by Apocalyptica! We figured the older contingent of our guests wouldn't appreciate the Metallica version! I actually think I like the Apocalyptica version now! Thank goodness for the WW song lists, I would've never known about this version of the song otherwise! Smiley smile

    Savage Garden - I knew I loved you before I met you

    We both LOVE 90's music, and he is the first guy I met that loves Savage Garden. We played them almost the entire 3 hour drive when we were going to help clean up after the tornadoes.

    We also have a (long) list of the songs we're playing during the ceremony and reception. Basically, our dj will just be playing all the songs from our list.

    "Yours & Mine" by Kyle Park. He's a Texas Country artist... doubt many have heard him. But it's a beautiful song & it really meant a lot to us while FH was deployed. We played it once when we got to see each other on web cam and I broke down.
