Looking for a non-cliche first dance song

laurbardo

My fiance and I like to be very unique and don't want anything at our wedding that has been done a million times before. Any suggestions for a first dance? We aren't the hugest fans of country (even though there are so many options in that genre) so anything besides that!

Thanks so much!

Do you want it to be slow? fast? old? recent?

Kenny Chesney "You and Me"
Brad Paisley " love her like she's leaving"
Kenny Chesney " you had me from hello"
Darius Rucker : history in the making"
Brad Paisley "then" or "Everything"
George Straight " I get carried away"


We are big country fans too! We chose the Darius Rucker song Lover her like she's leaving for the anniversary song.  Good luck!

My fiancee and I are dancing to "Lucky" by Colbie Callait and Jason Mraz...it's a little offbeat but a really nice song to dance to. We are getting dance lessons for it and our instructor said he's choreographed a lot to it.

My FI and I are taking dance lessons and dancing to Michael Buble's "Sway".  Not what I think of as a 'typical' first dance song because it's not super lovey-dovey, but it's kind of been our song for a while and it suits us.

We are dancing to 311's version of "Love Song".  Then, our last dance song will be Pearl Jam's "Just Breathe".... if you're not into country (like us) these are really good options, IMO.

Got him to agree finally...
No country for us. We are using Nickleback, Never Gunna Be Alone.
My runner up was ;
When You Say Nothing At All by Ronan Keating

We're dancing to Eli Young Band's Crazy Girl since my FI says I'm crazy...

But, one of my absolute favorites that most people won't know unless you're from Georgia or South Carolina is a Corey Smith song that has debuted on radio. 

Corey Smith- "First Dance" lyrics 

The leaves are fallin down 
The air is cool and clear 
It's a seasonal change 
And the night we've waited for is here 
And we've exchanged the rings 
And we've taken the vows 
The ceremony's over baby 
And the honeymoon is starting now 
This is the first dance 
But it won't be the last 
Timeless moments like this 
They won't ever be a thing of the past 
We'll spark a candle tonight 
An eternal flame of romance 
When the honeymoon is over baby 
I'll still move you like the first dance 
I've been scared as hell 
Cause I've heard how the story goes 
You get married and you settle down 
And the passion withers like a rose 
But I refuse to lose 
This thing we have together 
And I'll keep the fire burning baby 
Burning both ends of forever 
This is the first dance 
But it won't be the last 
Timeless moments like this 
They won't ever be a thing of the past 
We'll spark a candle tonight 
An eternal flame of romance 
When the honeymoon is over baby 
I'll still move you like the first dance 
I see heaven in your eyes 
And feel god movin in this room 
Ain't love the greatest gift of all 
Ain't it amazing what desire can do 
This is the first dance 
But it won't be the last 
Timeless moments like this 
They won't ever be a thing of the past 
We'll spark a candle tonight 
An eternal flame of romance 
When the honeymoon is over baby 
I'll still move you like the first dance 
Yeah I'll always turn you on 
And move you like the first dance
