I say you should do In My Life. It's the song you really want and who cares how fast or slow it is! I'm having You Make Me Smile by Uncle Kracker. It's a little faster than a traditional but it describes our relationship.

Ours is The Luckiest by Ben Folds- We LOVE him, so there wasn't even any discussion about what our song would be :)

And for the record, I really like the Willie version- Elvis is nice, but Willie sounds like he means it ;p

Ours is "Have a Little Faith in Me" by John Hiatt. It's in my favorite movie "Benny & Joon". We had our first kiss watching that movie.

Our first dance/song was "Lucky" by Mraz/Caillait. We also considered "1, 2, 3, 4" by the Plain White T's and "Can't Take My Eyes off of You" by Frankie Valli. The last song is truly my favorite but we wanted something a little more modern.

We used "Lay it Down Slow" by Spiritualized with Ryan Adams "Wonderwall" at a close second.

If you like Elvis, check out "Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space" also by spiritualized. It has parts of "can't help falling in love with you" in it, it's very pretty, unused it for my bridal march. There are 2 versions, but here's a snippet off of YouTube, the Elvis lyrics start about a minute and a half in.

We haven't decided for sure, but he knows that I'm in love with Allison Krauss' "When you say nothing at all," and he has said he would be fine with that as our first song. Not sure how easy it would be to dance too though.

"Nice and Easy" by Frank Sinatra - great upbeat tempo for a foxtrot and the lyrics were just too perfect for us.

FI and his mom are dancing to In My Life but redone by someone else that my DJ found and his mom loved. FI and I are dancing to "Underneath the Stars" by the Cure. It's the song he proposed to me with.
