    The only thing I can think to suggest w/out any kind of genre guidance is to pick a song that has some meaning for you and FI. If it's not a "love" song, or a slow song, maybe you could find an instrumental version of it. Or if you have any musician friends, maybe they could play or sing a version of it that's easier to dance to. It doesn't necessarily have to be slow.

    Or if you want to do something to kinda suprise people, you could do a choreographed dance. Or go from a slow song into a fast one, then back again. Not sure if that's really your style.

    Think outside the box. For instance, I really wanted Semisonic's "Singing in My Sleep" (I swear, when Dan Wilson wrote the song, he traveled into the future and took a look at the early days of FI and I's relationship) but ultimately we decided to go with a slower tune since FI was uncomfortable dancing to a faster song in front of everyone.

    Sorry I'm rambling. Can you tell I'm bored?

    Think of songs that are special to you and your FI. Maybe sit down and make a list of 5-10 possible songs, and narrow it down from there.

    We used Frank Sinatra's "Come Fly With Me" because that song has special meaning to us, and that era was a major influence for our wedding day.

    Have you ever heard the song Losing You by John Butler Trio?  That's our song.  It's a little bit more upbeat than most first dance songs, but FI and I love JBT and the lyrics to the song are perfect.  I think I maybe have the song linked to play on the homepage of my bio - can't remember...

    you have to be a bit more specific.  do you want something classic?  or new?  do you have any artists that you typically listen to?  there are a bajillion songs!  just google it.

     I would start with this list of options and type each one into YouTube to watch the video and listen to it. It's at least a place to start :)

    It was not easy to choose a song for us either, so I've definitely been there.  We are going with "It's Your Love" by Faith Hill and Tim McGraw.

    "The Way I Am" by Ingrid Michaelson might be an option. It's very contemporary and has a nice, light, fun beat that could work very well. Hope this helps!

    Well, people posted a lot of great ideas.  I'm still struggling with it myself.  One that someone suggested to me that I like is "I want to Grow Old With You" from the Wedding Singer soundtrack.  It's short, sweet, and funny.  There is a Stephen Lynch version as well.  Hope that helps.
