QOTD 8.29.11

Zimsgirl

What is/was your first dance song?

Mine is Then by Brad Paisley.

mob2689

I don't even remember!

YoungDuo

We haven't made the final decision but I think we're going to do Unchained Melody by the Righteous Brothers.

Life after you by daughtry :]

kyrgyzstan

It started as When You Come Back Down by Nickel Creek, but in the middle, it changed into Sing Sing Sing so we could do the Lindy/Swing we've been working on for months!

Beachy730

Ours was Lucky by Jason Mraz and Colbie Calliet.

CAB1217

We are thinking of using Dig by Incubus... but not 100% certain yet.

amh04

We don't have one yet... I'm thinking Amazed by Lonestar but we aren't really sure on it yet.

firsttimersluck

We're using a Norah Jones song.. no particular meaning but it's in 3/4 time for our waltz.

FI loves this song and he tried explaining to me that it's about a couple that he thought he loved her then and I was like what you don't love me anymore lol! This was back during our first six months or so together. Then I listened to it and was awwwwwww lol

LOVE Michael Buble. FI and I had awesome seats to one of his concerts in July but he was still in Texas :( My parents have been to 2 of his concerts and love him

divinemsbee

We're still deciding, music is really important to me, and he doesn't totally care. My top three right now are: a good version of "Come Fly With Me" (because I think that's funny), "Pure Imagination" from Willy Wonka, or possibly the Elvis Costello version of "Changing Partners." Or maybe Johnny Mathis's "Moon River."

Irishcurls

No clue, gotta figure that out sometime soon I guess.

Hold On by Michael Buble. The first time I heard it, I cried.

<div>Love that song! H and I sing it to each other, or He/I would start and the other would sing along. </div><div>
</div><div>Ours was Marry Me by Train. We decided on that a very long time ago and back when it hasn't even hit the mainstream. It took us a long time to find a song because there were so many to choose from, especially our country favorites but when I first listened to that song, I just fell in love. </div>

LetsHikeToday

We used Better Together by jack johnson

ggirl2001

We used Pearl Jam's cover of Can't help Falling in Love. We had a tough time deciding because neither of us are the corny type and we like alternative music. We tossed around Everlong by the Foo Fighters (acoustic version), Just Breathe by Pearl Jam, Tonight, Tonight (acoustic) by Smashing Pumpkins, and No one is gonna love you (like I do) by Band of Horses.


Ok the last one isn't really H's style, but I really loved this song and told him if he couldn't pick one of the songs I sent him, I was going to default to that one. And, because I love it so much, here is a youtube link to it

Aww I love that song it makes me cry everytime! I also considered Already There by Lonestar because one of my first letters from FI when he was in basic said to listen to that song. He said he'd randomly have songs pop into his head that made him think of me. So I watched the video and bawled my eyes out because I had a bad day at school and was really missing him and the music video was a tribute to the military. I love the song though

I tried to get FI to use this song by Nickel Creek, but he really doesn't want much of anything military related in the wedding, outside of him wearing dress whites and guests wearing blues.
LOVE this song.. Oh well.
How did the dance turn out for you guys with the swing?

Really???? This is my top choice!!! Obsessed with this cover--classic but not corny. But did you just cue up the youtube video? There are no mp3s of the song, just live covers (that I could find!)

It is only live covers, but they did release a live version on the Holidays Album for the Ten Club, pm me your email address and I will send you the version I used. The DJ cued it up perfectly.
