Brides that love music- I need your help!

I'm getting married in Sepember and my fiance and I are trying to decide what song to have our first dance to. We have "a song" but it's super cheesy and i would never want to have my first dance to it. My wedding is going to be pretty rustic and whimsical so i don't want any of the "classics". Do you know a super sweet, soft, maybe acoustic song that I should give a listen to? What song did you (will you) dance to at your wedding? Thanks brides

We are doing Van Morrison's "Sweet Thing". It's our song so it was going to happen either way, but we're also doing the whimsical, rustic theme and I think it fits pretty well.

Other suggestions:

"Your Song" - Elton John

"First Day of My Life" - Bright Eyes (though I personally love this as processional song)

"More than Anyone" - Gavin Degraw

We did "I Was Made for You," by She & Him. It's kind of retro-y and upbeat. Other choices:

"You and I," by Ingrid Michaelson

"Soft Place in My Heart," by Buddy Holly

"That's How Strong My Love Is," by Otis Redding

For sweet soft and whimsical, try one of these

Sweet Pea by Amos Lee

I Like You by Ben Rector  

We're Going to be Friends by The White Stripes

All I Want is You   The Vespers or Barry Louis Pollister     (Juno)

Anyone Else But You     by Joey B   (Juno)

The Luckiest by Ben Folds

Never Be Anyone Else But You by Emmylou Harris

I Choose you by Sara Bareilles

Danny's Song by Kenny Loggins or Anne Murray or Swon Brothers

We are dancing to My Best Friends by Tim McGraw

All of Me by John Legend is my second choice, so I am having it for my processional.

Good luck!

Why not just pic a song you both love that you can dance to? I doesn't necessarily have to be a romantic song. Based on you saying "your" song is cheesy, I take it you really don't want a cheesy first dance anyway. Just have fun with it!

My fiancé and I are dancing to "Miracle to Me" by the Black Crowes.

"She's Got a Way" Billy Joel
Maybe it's a little too "classic", but I know I never hear as a first dance song.

We are going to do our dance to "Can't Take My Eyes Off of You" by Nancy Wilson

Soft and to the point: "I'm All About You" by Jerrod Niemann feat. Colbie Caillat. I also like "You Are The Best Thing" by Ray LaMontagne. Kind of a faster pace, but I am not one for super slow and IMO sappy songs

Our song is "need her love" by ELO ( Electric Light Orchestra). We are huge ELO fans and this song was perfect.

"You and Me" (Dave Matthews Band), "In Your Eyes" (Peter Gabriel), and "Two of Us" (Supertramp) are three that I really love, and are pretty off-the-beaten path.  
If you and your FI have a song that's "your song" though, I would suggest doing that, no matter how cheesy it is!

Our is "Here There and Everywhere" (The Beatles)- we're both Beatles fans and it's perfect for us
