    "When God Made You" by Natalie Grant and Newsong.  One of the most beautiful songs ever made!

    We're dancing to Cheek to Cheek by Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald.
    It's one I like to sing to him over and over.  :)

    The instrumental version of that song is the song I will be walking down the isle to. Most people do not know that song at all. I think it is beautiful!

    <div>Love, love, love this song! It was our original idea for the first dance, but then Neutron Star Collision came out. We will be dancing to "Come What May," by Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman later in the evening.. :o) </div>

    We're still years away from our wedding (grad school), but we're going with Let There Be Love by Nat King Cole.  Others that I wanted (and he resisted) are:

    Book of Love by Magnetic Fields
    Nothing Matters When We're Dancing by Magnetic Fields
    I Can't Explain by The Who
    Stand By Me, as covered by The Jam or John Lennon
    Together We Are Beautiful, as covered by Chiwetel Ejiofor
    Cheek to Cheek, Louis Armstrong & Ella Fitzgerald

    Good luck!  And remember to choose something you can dance to!

    Our song is going to be "At Last" by Etta James. By the time we are married, we will have had a 2 year engagement (long distance) & been together for over 4 years...we can't wait for our big day to finally start our lives together :)

    My fiance and I are still deciding on a song, we like non-traditional, so here are our top picks:

    You & Me - Lifehouse
    Such Great Heights - Iron & Wine (it's the best version and i think it's the one we're actually going to use!)
    Edwin McCain - I Could Not Ask For More
    Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars

    The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus - Your Guardian Angel

    Coheed & Cambria - Wake Up
    Stable Song - Death Cab For Cutie


    otherwise, there are a few sites that helped me a lot!
    this one lists 500 alternative songs -
     
    http://alternativefirstdancesongs.blogspot.com/

    this one lists a bunch of first dance songs -

    http://www.pifemaster.com/bride_and_groom_first_dance.htm

    and this one lists all sorts of songs and helped me the most, and there are lists for first dance, brides entrance, ones for cake cutting, boquet tossing, and all sorts.. and it allows people to comment on the songs. it's a great website! what i did, is i looked at just the bands/singers that i like (or at least have heard of), and i looked up the lyrics for the song listed, and i was able to decide wether i even wanted to consider is based on lyrics.. if i liked them, i searched it on youtube or playlist.com to listen to the actual song. it's a long process but it's great too.. and theres a bunch of songs you'd never even think to look at!

    http://www.weddingwire.com/wedding-songs/first-dance-music

    HOPEFULLY that info helps. it's really tough to decide on the most important song of the wedding.. but it's fun to try and decide! good luck.

    We haven't really started talking about it yet, but I have started to get ideas like, "Baby, I'm Yours", which is on my ipod and he sometimes starts singing without even realizing it.  (which I love!)

    I also thought of "Our Love is Here to Stay" by Ella Fitzgerald....I could see some great choreography on this one and the horns give it a hint of sexy.  Now I just have to get him to dance class....any advice on that one?
