What song is everyone's first dance going to be to?

KellyRVT · July 2011

I am still trying to decide. I love love love The Way You Look Tonight by Frank Sinatra, I know that is so commonly done though. We are having a 1930s throw-back wedding theme so it fits, but just curious what everyone else is doing.

This is a fun one!

I like the song "That's All" which is available from a variety of performers but I like the Nat King Cole version. We also like the idea of a vintage feel for our wedding and this song certainly fits.

My FI and I have also been to see The Avett Brothers several times together and they have two songs I am considering: "The Offering" and "Swept Away."

We also have a kind of funny song together that we plan to play after our serious song, which is "I Love You Big Dummy" by Captain Beefheart.

We are having a similar theme and a similar problem! A lot of the songs i really like seem really over-done. Especially the Frank ones, and we are having a Frank impersonater so we kind of need to pick a Frank song...

Some ideas:

- Embraceable You (Nat King Cole)
- La Vie en Rose (Louis Armstrong/Bing Crosby)
- As Time Goes By (Frank Sinatra)
- A Kiss To Build a Dream On (Louis Armstrong)
- Wonderful World (Louis Armstrong)
- Unforgettable (Nat King Cole)

we're doing a fantastic old song from the 30s called blue room.
if you're looking for great old music, i suggest some of these wonderful women:
andrews sisters
judy garland
billie holiday

We love this song by Dean Martin called "Ain't That a Kick in the Head." It's really fun and upbeat... and the words are hilarious, but true! LOL We thought it would be fun and different

Sunday Morning - Maroon 5

We've always loved this song!

Kelly - Maroon 5 actually does a really great version of The Way You Look Tonight!

I need some non throw-back suggestions!

As a joke my FI and I always requested "All my Life" by KCi & Jo Jo from when we were in about junior high school.. we would request this at all my old sorority dances and we were thinking it would be funny - but the song itself is so darn cheesy I just don't know!

We both like country music too so any good suggestions there?

FI & I are dancing to "Marry Me" by Train. We just fell in love with it the very first time we heard it!

xjulie2188x · July 2011

Combs, what about "Waiting on a Woman"? I absolutely love that song!

clearheavens · July 2011

We also have a vintage theme and our song is "Fly Me To The Moon" by Frank Sinatra. It's a foxtrot and we love it.

eleventwentyfour · July 2011

We'll be dancing to Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls!

Hunkamunka · July 2011

My fiance and I are dancing to "Such Great Heights" by Iron and Wine. He played it on his guitar for me on our first date.

kmosu · July 2011

We found a song by Bright Eyes called "First Day of My Life". We struggled for a while but when we heard this we knew it was our song. Good luck- you will know it when you find it.

We're having a Gatsby-inspired wedding and dancing to "At Last" by Etta James

We were in the car and heard it, we both looked at each other and knew that was the one. And it just HAPPENED to be on our band's list...YAY!

Then by Brad Paisley

I could not ask for more-edwin Mccain...love it!!!!!!!!!!!!

lyssa5966 · July 2011

"You are the best thing" by Ray LaMontange. Love the lyrics!!

autumnhickey · July 2011

"I'll be" by Edwin Mccain.. it's been our song since high school (9 yrs ago)

LOVE "You are the best thing" by Ray LaMontange.. I think we are going to use it as our song for our wedding day highlight video!!

casims3 · July 2011

I just spent a ridiculous amount of time you tubing most of these songs! I pretty much only listen to country so my song knowledge is limited. I think we are going to dance to I Cross My Heart by George Strait, but we haven't officially decided yet!

Belle0000 · July 2011

"You & Me" by Dave Matthews Band....the first time I heard it, I wanted it as our first dance song. I asked him if it could be when DMB played it at their concert last year, and he said definitely!

lyssa5966 · July 2011

Awesome! I was going to use you and me by DMB as part of our recessional! Excellent choice!

green795 · July 2011

Ours was "Falling in Love at a Coffee Shop" by Landon Pigg.

jeanniefoley · July 2011

leaving this one up to him, but right now Indian Moon by State Radio

Mamasgirl985 · July 2011

FI and I are dancing to "When you got a good thing" by Lady Antebellum

sandymbme · July 2011

Kind of torn between several at the moment. I love "God Bless the Broken Road" by Rascal Flats, kinda shocking as I come from a punk rock back ground! lol!

"Stitch by Stich" by Javier Colon from the Voice

"Falling Slowly" by Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova is a major contender, the song is just gorgeous.
