What is your First Dance Song?

Hello!

I am starting to think about our first dance song.  I want something different - not a traditional, love song.  What are you first dance songs?

Thanks!

    We are using the song "Amazed" by Lonestar. It's kind of overused however my FI sang it to me the night he proposed so it has sentimental value.
    Do you know if you're looking for a slow or an upbeat song???
    If you haven't heard of Ryan Huston you may want to check out some of his stuff. I recommend "Love You Forever" and "Daydreams." There is a song called "Hey Now" by FM Static that is really cute and more upbeat than the Ryan Huston songs. Howie Day's "Collide" is always a nice song. Oh and the Get Up Kids "I'll Catch You." 

    Just to name a few. =)

    We are dancing to You are So Beautiful To Me - the original version.  Our colors are black and white with red roses, so we have been going with the very classical theme.  I'm so excited!!!!

    My FI wants a slow one and im not a fan of slow dancing so we are drawn between lifehouse-you and me and queen-crazy little thing called love...lets home i win :P

    Music is very important to us, so it's a difficult decision. So unless a better song is created in the next year we're going for "Kissing In Cars" by Pierce The Veil. It's such a great song that the lead singer/guitarist of Pierce The Veil wrote for his friends wedding. It's just such a beautiful song, it's practically written for a 1st dance!

    We danced to Lonestar "Amazed,"but it just fit so perfect.

    OH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Suggestion for anyone that hasn't chosen a song yet. The one I had originally decided I wanted to dance to (before the actual proposal lol) was a song called "I See Heaven" by Emerson Drive. I LOVE this song. It's gorgeous. Youtube it! =)

    You could do "More Than Anyone" by Gavin DeGraw. That was going to be our first dance song, but now we're going with that for our last dance song instead.

    We haven't made up our mind yet but our top 3 choices as of now are "Only You Can Love Me This Way" - Keith Urban, "When You Got a Good Thing" - Lady Antebellum or "Use Somebody" - Pixie Lott's cover (we're both big Kings of Leon fans)... every time I hear one of these songs I get chills just thinking about my first dance with my honey. =)  

    Good luck!

    Our wedding is still aways away. But we are deciding between two songs. . "You and Me" by DMB or Elton John's " The way you look tonight". It is an important part of our wedding becuase we are both very much into music. I think we will use "The Way You Look Tonight" for our 1st dance, and then "You and Me" as the last.

    We ended up going way more traditional than we originally wanted, but one day while dancing FI and I realized we dance together really well to Can't Help Falling in Love by Elvis.  Totally traditional but oh well. Sorry I couldn't really help

    Lucky by Jason Moraz.

    By the way... someone mentioned Sweetest Thing by U2 which is an amazing song but it is about forgetting his wife's birthday and hurting someone (check out the lyrics).
