Your First Dance Song

Kylee, on January 22, 2015 at 6:21 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 27

I know this is a cliche question and many people have asked, but I'm really curious!! We are caught in between "Thinking Out Loud" by Ed Sheeran or "Can't Help Falling In Love" The Michael Buble version. Dilemma? The first is 5 minutes long (I realize its my wedding, but i have anxiety so there are going to be a lot of events that night that make me socically uncomfortable), and the 2nd is reallllly slow and might be awkward to dance to. What are yours???

    You can always ask your DJ to shorten your song so you don't have to dance to the whole thing, that's what ours did. Seems like "Thinking Out Loud" is the new "All of Me." It's the most popular first dance song this year from what I've seen. We wanted to have "Look After You" by The Fray because it was the first song we slow danced to but it was too slow and the lyrics are a little hard to understand so we went with "I Do" by Jessie James Decker. Good luck!

    @MrsE I love "I Do!" FH doesn't like it though. I noticed it has become popular. But 10 years from now, no one will really remember that.

    A lot of time long long songs have radio versions that are shorter... Plus if you are only comfortable for 2 minutes, you can make it work (DJ or NOT) by shortening & fading out the song. I love thinking out loud, but we are going to play that either for the anniversary dance or the last song of the night. Also we are using the acoustic version of Heaven by Jason Aldean...

    On a side note, I was worried about choosing it, b/c we only get one shot & Bryan Adams Heaven I know is used a lot, & was worried about it being over used.. but someone mentioned to me, no matter what that song will always be special to me, over used or over played.

    I recently heard Ed Sheeran's "Thinking Out Loud" for the first time on the radio and instantly thought that it would be the PERFECT wedding song! I get goosebumps every time I hear it.

    We are doing Mumford & Sons "Not With Haste"

    Ours is 'baby i know it' by johnny reid. Its a pretty fast paced song and we have had a couple of dance lessons. And we practice pretty much every night, its fun! We even learnt a move that involves me doing a back flip the other night.... better not drink too much beforehand or it could go very wrong lol!

    I knew it was the song for us when I watched the video and cried and his eyes teared up a little too haha. That was also when I realized I had to have a videographer, that video is beautiful. They are my love couple inspiration.

    I will have to look at the radio version of "Thinking Out Loud." I was a dancer in high school, but FH has 2 left feet and zero dance skills. We were also considering a redone version of Bryan Adam's "Heaven" By Jake Worthington (it's a country version). I'm so indecisive!

    I absolutely LOVE "Thinking out loud" and actually thought about it before but now that it's populat on the radio I don't want it. @MrsE I LOVE "Look After You" and that's my favorite song by them.

    I'm excited to see someone else use our song. @MrsB we're doing "Not with Haste" too and the more I hear it the more I love it and get goosebumps when I hear it

    We had originally planned for Can't Smile Without You by Barry Manilow but we decided on Here for You by Ozzy Osbourne.

    We are using Differences-Ginuwine. It's my song to him and it's a little on the longer side so half way through the song we're gonna have the DJ ask everyone to join.
