    My wedding isn't as close as yours but Yeah we can't figure out that one either...we have all the other songs figured out except that one...he loves "Love all over me" by Monica and I like it but not enough to want to make it my first dance song...We both like Sure Thing by Miguel  but the pace may be too fast... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRM_AFfTkkk

    I feel your pain!

    We actually had a song...then changed it. Originally, we were going to do an Anthony Hamilton song (which I really didnt like but Fi liked it). Then one day for some reason we were listening to the dreamgirls soundtrack in the car (don't ask why) and that song 'When I first saw you' by Beyonce and Jamie Foxx came on and we both started bawling. At first I thought it would be cheesey to have it as a first dance song, but then I was just like what the he!!...so we picked it.

    What about The Only Exception from Paramore???  I love that song and like that it's more rock, but not sure if it suits you.

    Hmmm...do you two like Sade?  What about By Your Side?  I wanted that song for years but turns out that FI kind of hated it.  There's also a great Alicia Keys song called That's How Strong My Love Is on her latest album.

    Don't mind me...I'm bored and I'm a bit of a music whore...

    All My Life-KC & Jojo
    Still the One- Shania Twain (ok I'll admit it, I'm the only person who was entertaining this one)
