Second marriage, First Dance

gab1994

This will be a second marriage for both of us. I am looking for ideas for our first dance. Thanks!

My first wedding, my fiance's third. We are using "From this Moment" by Shania Twain. In all honesty, I really don't think it matters what you use, it's the first time you are marrying your fiance!

We used the tune "Thank You" by Led Zeplin, we loved the song and it was different, both were huge fans of Zeplin back in the day.

We used songs that were special to us throughout the wedding ceremony and reception...

Hi,

we haven't quite decided on a "song" yet for the frst dance.....
we kinda like 1234 by plain white t's   or just the way you are by bruno mars or a few older ones.....we have time to decide

but we do know that

We are not doing a typical "first" dance with just me and my fiance.....

we are doing a family first dance that will incorproate not only us,but also  our kids,  our parents and siblings......Neither one of us want a "first" dance alone....but we are aware that many people expect it and don't dance until one...so we are going to start with a "family" dance

One good thing about first dance's...there is no right or wrong way to do one....

It's highly likely we'll dance our first dance to one of these:

Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman? by Bryan Adams

Dance Me to the End of Love by Leonard Cohen (my favorite)

Unchained Melody by The Righteous Brothers (FI's choice)

We're considering "The Luckiest" by Ben Folds (but shortened) and Sinatra--so much of his stuff is good and not too long.

We are not doing a traditional first dance either but even though he hates dancing, I have told him that we are dancing to Crazy Love by Van Morrison. What he doesn't know is that one of his very best friends who used to sing in his band back in the day (and won't be able to make it out here from California due to other commitments) is recording a special version of the song for us. He's going to be so surprised. I can't wait to see the look on his face when he recognizes the voice.

"Unchained Melody" is our song Lisa.  You can't have it!  Well, yeah you can because we danced to it exactly two times and neither time was at our reception
  I guess I should say Unchained Melody is my song LOL  Has no special meaning to T.

OP - we didn't dance to anything at our reception.  We had music in the background but we ended up turning it waaaayyyy down because everyone was mingling and talking so no one danced.

Hahahaha ... FI really <u>loves</u> that song.  I'll let him know you have dibs on it, though.  I'm sort of like your hubby, though; it has no special meaning for me.  I'm really lobbying for the Leonard Cohen song ... I sigh whenever I watch the video.  Oh!  That reminds me, I've got to get us hooked up for dance lessons.  Hee hee!

We are using "Then" by Brad Paisley. It became our song and the first one we danced to. Friends of mine (also 2nd marriage) have also used "It's Your Love" by Tim McGraw w/Faith Hill.

We did a swing dance to Leonard Cohen's, "Dance Me to the End of Love."  It is a wonderful song, with a focus on love across the years, not just young angst.

We are using "You're My Favorite" by Jason Jones.  He is an up and coming artist.  You can find the song on YouTube.  I loooove it and cannot wait to dance with my husband to this song :O)
