FI and I have been considering a couple songs:
All for You - Keith Urban
Precious Love - James Morrison
Hold My Hand - Hootie and the Blowfish (it's a long shot to convince him but I try every time )

Our first song is going to be The First Day of My Life by Bright Eyes. It fits us and our relatioship/personalities. Its also slow enough that we can do the whole prom dance/sway thing since we suck at dancing (lol!). but I'm walking down the aisle to Marry Me by Bruno Mars. You could use that, too. Its pretty upbeat and fun. Always makes me smile...

My fiance and I are a little bit older and we're using Beyonce's version of "At Last" (Etta James original) that the Obamas danced to at the inauguration. It's not "our song" particularly, but so appropriate for our first dance. I love it!

My fiance and I are thinking of using the song Marry Me by Train...the words are really.

My FH and I hae decided on Beautiful, by H.I.M. It is sooo not traditional, but very awesome. However, if you want something fun, but really nice-- the song "Here comes the Sun" by the Beatles is an amazing choice.

Best of luck!

We had a list of songs that were ideas and one night we played them on the laptop and danced in our living room to them. Our song was the only one that made me cry. I could see us on our wedding day, dancing to it in front of all our family and friends. Good Luck!

My Favorite Book by Stars is pretty awesome.
We are either doing Echo by Incubus or Lions by The Features, both never played

We are going with Summertime Clothes by Animal Collective, Electric Feel by MGMT, or I've Just Seen a Face by The Beatles.

We're dancing to The Best Is Yet to Come. Originally done by Farnk Sinatra but we're doing the Tony Bennett version. I LOVE that period of music and the lyrics are perfect for us.

What genre of music are you and your fiance' into?  What is you/your FH's favorite song?  That might help you narrow it down.  Below are some websites, many of these songs have been done before but who knows?  Also, you can always turn on the radio and write down any songs you like.  Pandora is great for suggesting new artists/songs.

For me, our song has been the easiest decision yet!  My fiance' and I are huge rock music fans, so I chose my favorite song by my favorite band: An acoustic version of "Everlong" by the Foo Fighters.  (We actually got engaged at a Foo Fighters show because going to concerts has always been our thing!)   But I realize I'm an exception...

Anyway, hope this helps!

We were considering Adele's version of "Love Song," but instead settled on Sinatra's "Fly Me to the Moon." I actually thought the second one is super-common, but our DJ said he doesn't get requests for Sinatra. I choreographed an awesome but simple first dance because I hate just swaying back and forth.

omg i loveeee hold my hand from hootie, and echo from incubus.. too bad the FI doesnt like my music we are having such a difficult time choosing!!

Our first dance is to "Warmness on the Soul" by Avenged Sevenfold... they are a metal band but this is one of their earliest songs & it's a piano ballad with a cool guitar solo.. and the words are just perfect for us! Good luck, hope you find something!

My fiance's brother just used REM's Love is all around.  It was something completely different and great!   My fiance and I are using The Hooters "I'm Alive", just a very meaningful song for us.

BlingBride12

We are doing Stay With You by John Legend  or This Year's Love by David Gray

kmarlowe13

We're using "Johnny and June" by Heidi Newfield

We actually danced to 2 songs.  We had a song that was a little more upbeat that we chose and we also chose a slower song.  We split them up around our parent dances and everyone loved it!!

Shania Twain "Forever Always" - it's cute!

My fiancee and I will be dancing to Fly Love by Jamie Foxx.  It is part of the Rio soundtrack .... We were watching the movie and the song played during the final credits.  I knew right away and my guy was humming it which was a good sign.
