Wedding Ceremony & Reception Music Discussions

What do you think about this as a first dance song?

I have been searching the internet for first dance songs and had not come accross any I really liked. Then, last night I heard this song and think it might be the one! What you won't do for love by Bobby Caldwell is the song. What do y'all think? It's kind of long though - 4min 43sec. How long is too long?

    I think it is a good song.  The length all depends on you.  Do you want to dance that long??  Remember it is your first dance and you won't have it again.  So make it worht it. My song for the wedding is from Keith Urban.  Memories of me.  I think that is the title.

    I like it. But honestly, whatever you two love--go for it! It is your wedding song so pick something that means something to you guys.

    You can always have your entertainment cut the song short if you thought it was too long or dance the whole thing. I do think it is a little long, but again whatever you guys are comfortable with. If you do dance the whole song, how about having your BP join you as well?!?!

    HTH & GL!

    You should always pick a song that means something to you and FI. Not because you heard it and thought that it would be a nice first dance song.

    Thank you for all the responses!

    If you like it and think it fits, then it DOES have meaning to you and your FI.  I say go for it...you can either have the DJ cut it short like PP said, or you could motion for your guests to start joining in the dancing halfway through.

    some people are so catty :| haha I think it's a nicely paced song that you can fit a variety of dance moves in-slow enough to be intimate yet upbeat enough for your bridal party to join in. If you like it, go for it! :)

    Yes, I think we are going to have our BP dance with us at the end of the song to get the party started. So thanks for the idea! And thank you FJL10 and Autumn Enchantment...for your support

    I have been thinking about our favorite song "turn your lights down low" by bob marley,..its a slow reggae song...do you guys think its too "sexy" of a first dance song?
