First Dance at Wedding

Dh and I danced to 'Maybe I'm Amazed' by Paul McCartney. It was his choice and one of the only things he really had a strong opinion about when planning the wedding.
 
Dreaming my Dreams by The Cranberries.

I also love Song for a Winter's Night by Sarah McLachlan. It sounds sad but it's really not - just about the loveliness of holding the hands you love.

Although the thought of this song always makes me smile and laugh outloud as a first song - Sinead always brings a smile. It's right up there with the PP's husband's choice of Let's Get it On. And would never make the cut.

Manda Jane - Congratulations and all the best to you both. :lovestruc
 
DH and I Danced to Love of A Lifetime by Firehouse. A lot of people thought it was too fast for a first dance, but it was actually PERFECT. It was also sung at our wedding by DH's best friend :lovestruc
 

Once went to a really fun wedding where they danced to "Try a Little Tenderness" from the Commitments soundtrack.

Ours was also All I Ask of You from Phantom.
 
My DH and I had "Love of My Life" by Jim Brickman/Michael W. Smith. It is not well known but very beautiful. Google the lyrics of the song. Some are...
I am amazed... When i look at you... I see you smiling back at me... It's like all my dreams come true...

We had "You're My Best Friend" by Queen as our last dance.

Another great song we were considering was "True Companion" by Marc Cohn. Too many of our friends had that but that is another great song. Shania Twain's "From This Moment" is another great one.

Good luck. Let us know what you decide.
 
Our first dance song was "Good Boy" by Barenaked Ladies. It's 'our song'. However, if we were getting married today, I might consider changing to "Buy a Dog" by Luce as I think it speaks more to our relationship as a whole.
 
Eternal Flame by the Bangles:

"close your eyes, give me your hand darling, do you feel my heart beating, do you understand, do you feel the same. am i only dreaming or is this burning an enternal flame"
 
We danced to "I'll Still Be Loving You" by Restless Heart for our first song.

I'll be yours until the sun doesn't shine
Till time stands still
until the winds don't blow
When today is just a memory to me
I know.....
I'll still be loving
I'll still be loving
You
I'll still be loving you

We considered "When You Wish Upon a Star" since we got engaged at WDW.

I don't remember if we had a last dance.
 
first dance was Beautiful in my Eyes
cake cutting was I got you babe by UB40
last dance - Time of our lives from Dirty Dancing - took a couple of lessons for that one!
 
Our First Dance-"The Power of Love' by Celine Dion. We then cut the cake to "When I'm sixty-four" by The Beatles. The last dance was "Oh what a Night' by Frankie Valli.
My, how time flies.................:lovestruc
 
Our first song was "Sentimental Reasons" largely because we didn't have a "song" and couldn't dance. Oh well...:laughing:

I would have loved "In My Life" but it didn't really fit the situation. We were 21 and 24 when we got married--hardly enough of a past to fit the song! But it is a fantastic pick for older couples who have more of a "life" to speak of!

A friend chose "Do You Realize" by the Flaming Lips. It's not that it's not a pretty song, but it's about death. It reminded me of all those people who pick "Every Breath You Take" without really thinking about the lyrics or context. :confused3
