The Luckiest?

My FI and I are thinking of using "The Luckiest" by Ben Folds for our first dance. What do you think - is this a good choice? TIA!

    Love this song! Nice choice and very different. I'm tired of hearing Edwin McCain at weddings!

    Excellent choice, it will be remebered!

    I love when couples try a little bit with this, there are so many songs that are just overdone!

    Fantastic choice!

    In fact, I'm planning on walking down the aisle to an instrumental version. Details are still pending, but two of my cousins are probably going to play it live on piano and violin.

    It's easily one of the most romantic songs I know of :-)

    We thought about using it--I love it.  But it's over 4 minutes long so it was out.  There was no way we could have done the 7th grade sway for that long.

    My MOH really wants us to use this, but it just isn't our taste.  I think the song is pretty, but it kind of made me sad & I wanted something a little more up-beat... even though we too will be doing the "7th grade sway".   : )

    We are torn between The Luckiest and No one is going to love you  by Band of Horses. I prefer The Luckiest and I think it is a great choice!!!
