First Dance Song?

sarilynnep

Hey everyone,

Even though I have some time before my FI and I need to decide, I was thinking about our first dance song. I always imagined I would dance my first dance with my husband to a Nat King Cole song. I have loved his songs since I was a very little girl (dancing around to his stuff at 3 and 4 years old) and he is one of the few artists I will be able listen to the rest of my life. I really love his "When I fall in love" song. However, the more I think about it, the more I am not sure. The song may be way too short for my liking, and it's not the easiest to dance too. And I'm not sure if it's really "us".

I also love a lot of Frank, Dean, and Ella songs but all of their stuff seems so overplayed for first dance songs and I would rather have their songs played during dinner.

Ok, so with that said I have fallen in love with Adele's song "Make you feel my love". I absolutely love the song. Youtube link if you haven't heard it- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCBlFBOxRKo 

I think it may be perfect for us, but I don't know if it's a strange song to play for a first dance. It almost seems to strike a sad note, but I think that is what I love about it. My fiance and I have had so many struggles that we have faced together, so it seems fitting to have song that talks about loving and supporting each other no matter what. What are your thoughts though? Do it seem to sad for a wedding song?

And with that in mind, what song are you guys planning on for your first dance (or what song did you play if you are already married)?

Sarilynn  - i LOVE that Adele song! And our good friends had it as their first dance song sooo def not a weird choice! I say go for it!

DF and i are currently trying to decide on our first dance song. He wants it to be You & Me by DMB buttt its really hard to dance to! And i feel that it is more him (he's always been a huge DMB fan) than the both of us.

So we are still searching for that perfect song!

I think that if you love that Adele song, you should dance to it.

I haven't chosen my first dance song yet because I was holding out for an singer/songwriter to get back to me about singing "I Just Called To Say I Love You" by Stevie Wonder.  He unfortunately hasn't gotten back to me so I will have to have a decision soon.

Even thought "I Just Called to Say I Love You" isn't a slow song, it reminds me of my fiance when we were long distance and he would call me and play that song to me on my voicemail.  That means more to me than whether or not the song is slow or sad in your case.

I say go for it!!

our first dance was to brad paisley's "we danced"  because it was the first song we ever danced to together

Our first dance was to Louis Armstrong "What a Wonderful World" for no paricular reason other than we both liked it and it seemed timeless

We almost did the Adele song. i love it. We ended up dancing to "Have I the Right" by Vampire Weekend, which is sorta a break-up song and is kind of faster. But we liked it, and we had fun dancing to it.

  We danced to "You're all I need to get by"  by Michael McDonald.  We both decided that the words suited us to a "T" .

I love the Adele song and that was probably my second choice for a first dance song, but H had told me years ago that he wanted to do "Good Day Sunshine" for our first dance, and it's basically one of the only sentimental things he's ever said to me, so that's what we did.
