Well, I am a country music fan but H is not even though he tolerates it.

First dance: Then by Brad Paisley

Father/daughter dance: Sweet Melissa (that is my name) by The Almond Brothers, my dad also requested it, so I couldn't tell him no

Last dance: Love like Crazy by Lee Brice

Garter toss: Bad to the Bone by George Thorogood

Bouquet toss: This Ones for the Girls by Martina McBride

try weddingwire.com for more ideas. Your dj should also be able to help you. Ours gave us a list of ideas for songs for the different dances. HTH

First dance is still up in the air as said in PP, I love country, but FI doesn't love it, so we are looking for something we both love.  We are leaning towards Better Together by Jack Johnson.

For my father daughter dance we are doing May I have this Dance? by Anne Murray.  I chose this because it was my parents first dance song when they got married and my mon died when I was 19, so I thought it would be special for my dad and I.

I don't know why I can't remember what song we chose for the father/daughter dance. It was one our DJ recommended and apparently it is a popular one for that dance.

For our first dance, we danced to "Wonder of You" by Elvis. It's a great song and seemed to fit us perfectly!

First dance, leaning towards Whatever It Is by Zac Brown Band. I LOVE this song, FI loves it too but he isn't sure how we are going to dance to it since it's a little faster.
Father/Daughter will be Hope You Dance (Leann Womac) or My Wish (Rascal Flatts) and we might do the father/daughter mother/son dance at the same time.

First Dance:  Brad Paisley - Then
Father/Daughter: Rascal Flatts - My Wish

Father/Daughter Song - I'll Stand By You by the Pretenders or Just Breathe by Pearl Jam

We're torn between two songs for our first dance.  We like "The Luckiest" by Ben Folds, as well as "Seasons of Love" from RENT.  We've seen both in person, so they have special meaning, so... not sure.

As for father/daughter and mother/son (we're not doing spotlight; instead we're doing both simultaneously) we will be dancing to "In My Life" by The Beatles.

We're not doing any other structured dances.  We'll probably decide on some special last dance of the night, but no garter, no bouquet, no wedding party dance, etc. 

Although, since I'm so excited about my ceremony, I want to share those too:

Processional will be the Vitamin String Quartet cover of Somebody to Love by Queen.

Bridal March will be Con Te Partiro by Andrea Bocelli.

I'm so pumped about those.

First Dance: Swept Away by the Avett Brothers
Father/Daughter Dance: Heavenly Day by Patty Griffin

...struggling to find a Mother/Son song. We want something unique and not at all cheesy.

TurtlesAllTheWayDown

We are debating between two first dance songs: Fade Into You by Mazzy Star and Sea of Love (the Cat Power version). We aren't doing any other dances.

We didn't do any parent dances, but our first dance was Sinatra's "Come Fly With Me."

For my first wedding our first dance was:
 I Don't Wanna Miss a Thing - Aerosmith

The Father/Daughter dance was the song my parents named me after.

The Mother/Son dance was:

@thelowies:
your last few songs are cracking me up! i take it you're hair band fans?

smc1182

first dance--I made it myself, it's Elvis Presley "Fools Rush in" and then cuts into Weezer's "If you're wondering, I love you too"

father/daughter--I'm letting my dad pick and he said he's going to surprise me

mother/son--they're greek so they're picking out a traditional greek song that they both like

Your First Dance? Can't Take My Eyes Off You by Lady Antebellum

Father/Daughter Dance? My father passed away last year, so my best friend is going to walk me and dance with me, we have no idea what song to pick, though! Any suggestions?

meima

FI is going to pick the first dance song, so it will be a surprise for me! 

Dad is going to pick the father-daughter dance song, so again, a surprise.

I am walking down the aisle to the Pianotarium version of Nothing Else Matters (Metallica) and we will probably use the Pianotarium versions of the Renewal (1/2/3) as guests are seated, and the wedding party gets set up   I know they're weird selections, but we both love Metallica, and really, with the piano versions, no one will really know what they are, unless they're fans too.

First Dance: "Maybe I'm Amazed" by Jem

Father/Daughter Dance: "Butterfly Kisses" by Bob Carlisle

jlmarks83

First Dance: "Storybook Love" by Willie DeVille.  If you've ever seen the movie The Princess Bride, it's the theme song.  We watched it on our first date.
Father/Daughter Dance: My dad is surprising me and won't tell me what it is.
Mother/Son: "My Wish" by Rascal Flatts
Cake Cutting: "Eat It" by Weird Al
Bouquet Toss: "Single Ladies" by Beyonce
Garter Toss: "Whip It"
Last Dance: "Last Dance" by Frank Sinatra.

DaughterOfHelaman2709

First dance:  Right now, we're thinking "Love Never Fails" by Brandon Heath, but that might change. 
Father/Daughter:  "I Loved Her First" by Heartland
I had forgotten about all the other things I have to pick music for!

lcwed

For our first dance, I'm thinking Lifehouse's "You and Me" and Steven Curtis Chapman's " Playing Cinderella."  I really want songs that are not the typically used ones for the first dances.
