  • Our FD will be to "Trouble" by Ray LaMontagne.  I don't think we will be doing any of the mother/son or father/daughter dances.  That could change though!

    My husband and I danced to Brad Paisely Shes Everything.  My dad and I danced to Darius Rucker It wont be like this for long  (although a close second choice was Jimmy Buffet Little Miss Magic). 
    Married June 2009, they are not new songs, but still great!
  • first dance- I'm Yours/Lucky by Jason mraz
    FD dance- My Little Girl by Tim mcgraw
    MS dance- not sure. his mom was a single parent so something special!

  • My fiance and I are both chemists and currently like the idea of "She Blinded Me With Science" as our first dance.
    I'm awful with artists, but "Stealing Cinderella" is also a favorite
  • Our first dance is "Sparks" by Coldplay.
    We're letting parents pick their own songs, and my dad LOVES country so he did pick "I Loved Her First" by Hartland. My FI's mom is still picking but she is leaning towards "I Hope You Dance" By Lee Ann Rhymes (sp?). She has been talked in and out of that song SO many times by so many different people, I just hope she picks a song that she likes!

  • We are debating some songs for our first dance, but the front-runners are: "Chasing Cars" Snow Patrol, "Falling" *NSync, "Ready to Fall" Joey Fatone (there is a country version by Meredith Edwards, it's from the On the Line soundtrack), "I Will Possess Your Heart" Death Cab for Cutie & "I Don't Wanna Know" New Found Glory. p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Lucida Grande}

    If we do a parent's dance, I think think the father/daughter dance will be "Daddy's Little Girl" Dean Martin

    If you're still looking for a country song for a first dance, I would highly recommend "Ready to Fall" by Meredith Edwards. Not a lot of people knew about her or this song, so it would be special and unique.

  • First dance: "Time After Time" by Cyndi Lauper
    Mother/son, father/daughter: "What a Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong
  • First Dance : Me and You by Kenny Chesney
    Father/ Daughter Dance: Butterfly Kisses by Bob Carlisle
    Mother/ Son Dance: Not really sure yet.
  • As our first dance we are doing 311-love song
    and for the MS dance I am letting him choose...kinda worried on this one :P And I don't have a FD dance :/
  • We are chosing country songs also, our first dance will probs be Amazed by Lonestar.

  • We've discussed so many songs, but i think our first dance will be to "I'm Yours" by Jason Mraz.

    As for country songs, "Daddy's Hands" is a good father/daughter dance.  I had planned on using it until my friend beat me to it.  Brad Paisley has a good song too, drawing a blank on the title but he sings about a little blonde haired girl.

    Not sure about a mother/son dance.  But I think if you wanted to venture away from country, BoysIIMen had a song called "Mama" that was pretty good.

    Good luck, I'm still working on this myself.
  • We have been together 21 years and are dancing our first dance to an old favorite... "Crusin" by Smoky Robinson.. the second dance, which will be an "all invited to dance with us" dance will be to "I Can Be Your Hero" by Enrique Inglesias...

  • my FI and I are considering either a waltz to "As the World Falls Down", from the ballroom scene in Labyrinth (our first "date" was pizza at home watching the movie for Valentines day), or Dancing Cheek to Cheek by Frank Sinatra...

    the father-daughter dance will be either Wild World (cat stevens), or I Loved Her First

    a few other good country ones are "forever and ever amen", "When somebody loves you", and "god must have spent a little more time on you"
  • Our first dance is "Iris" by the Goo Goo Dolls. 
    Dad and I are deciding between 2 songs: "Brown Eyed Girl" by Van Morrison, (which when he sang to me growing up he changed to Blue Eyed Girl,) or Collin Raye "I think about you" 
    Anniversary
  • Far Away by Nickelback

    I absolutely love the song, even if I don't understand why he wants lyrics about someone apologizing for never being around to play as we dance (especially since we spend ALL of our free time together). But since he has shown absolutely no interest in anything to do with wedding planning, I basically give in to anything he wants because everything else is what I want. So far, he has picked our song, our cake topper (playful football couple haha), and our flower girl.

  • our first dance is going to be "You Had Me From Hello" Kenny Chesney and F/D dance is going to be "Stealing Cinderella"  Chuck Wicks and the verdict is still out on the M/S dance...
  • Our First Dance is "Johnny and June" by Heidi Newfield. My dad picked "I Loved Her First" for our dance. My fiance hasn't picked a song yet for the Mother/Son Dance. "You Don't Have to Let Go" by Jessica Simpson is a good song.
  • use the acoustic version! it's beautiful!!!

    or other suggestions

    love never fails- brandon heath
  • Fly me to the moon by Frank Sinatra

  • Ben Harper's "Forever"! It is a beautiful song.
  • We're going to be dancing to Blue Eyes by Cary Brothers  (it's from the Garden State soundtrack) and the father-daughter/mother-son dance will be to My Wish- Rascal Flatts.
  • Ours is going to be a song called "Goodnight Moon" by a band that my fiance actually knows, they're called Go Radio.

    We are also thinking of having a second dance (right after) to our 2nd choice, which is "Questions" by the Old 97s.

  • If I was gonna go country for my first dance I'd choose "love your love the most" by eric church OR "why don't we just dance" by josh turner if you wanna do something upbeat and fun. the fiancee isnt a huge country fan so we'll probably go with something else.

    My first pick for father/daughter was "tough little boys" by gary allen, but I may switch to "wild world" by cat stevens. I heard it the other day on my ipod and it sounds like a father talking to his daughter, the sadness of a letting go but the love that goes with it... very good :)

  • We are using...
    First Dance: "I keep in Loving You" - Reba
    Mother/Son, Father/daughter (at the same time): "Then they do" - Trace Adkins
    Couples dance (for all married couples): "Stuck Like Glue" - Sugarland

    We decided to have a couples dance in place of a wedding party dance... the guys in our wedding party don't dance.

  • Our first dance is going to be Johnny and June by Heidi Newfield. The father/daughter dance is probably going to be My Little Girl by Tim McGraw. I love My Wish by Rascal Flatts for the mother/son dance, but have seen it a lot lately, so we're thinking of something else!
  • Our first dance is going to History in the Making by Darius Rucker.
    Father Daughter Dance - I loved her First by Heartland
    Although many of the other suggestions on this board were also in the running.
    FI's mom doesn't want to do the Mother Son dance so we aren't doing it.
  • We used "Blessed" by Martina McBride for a mother song. It was really sweet and meaningful.
  • we are using "starlight" by muse for our first dance :)

    can't help y'all with the country songs, but i am looking for a good song along the lines of slow rock for the father/daughter dance, and im not entirely sure about the mother/son dance. any suggestions for my daddy/daughter dance??

    Justin & Amanda I said yes! 3/8/10 Wedding Countdown Ticker
  • We're doing "Crush" by the Dave Matthews Band for our first dance;
    "Little Miss Magic" by Jimmy Buffett for Father/Daughter (has a country feel to it)
    "Simple Man" by Lynyrd Skynyrd for Mother/Son (can't get much more country than Skynyrd!)
    Good luck!
