We're dancing to an oldie but goodie: L-O-V-E by Nat King Cole
I have a LO-VE cake topper too and might have LOVE theme for the wedding favor.

Kels: I love Stand by Me too

We are using Better Together by Jack Johnson.

ultravox · May 2010

Either "Harvest Moon" by Neil Young or "Blue Velvet."

melissa.sue · May 2010

We are dancing to Real Love, the John Lennon song off of the Beatles Anthology. It has a beat that's east to waltz to, and it is a very sweet song.

kglafferty · May 2010

We're going with Just The Way You Are by Billy Joel

Katiediditmom · May 2010

We picked Enya's Stars And Midnight Blueoff of her "And Winter Came" CD. We didn't want some hokey, run of the mill song. We wanted something more intimate and ethereal. This song fit perfectly.

I'm so glad you posted this topic! I've been searching for the perfect first dance song and have had a really hard time finding something that is meaningful, wedding appropriate and still us.

I was thinking about Jack Johnson- Better Together, but I just wrote down about 10 of your ideas and can't wait to check those out!

Thanks!

We are dancing to "Long Trip Alone" by Dierks Bentley

"Better Together" Jack Johnson

weseloh · May 2010

I just noticed you're already married! which song did you end up picking?

We are dancing to 'Is this love' by Bob Marley. We saw the Wailers in concert with 311 and it was a magical date for us!! plus we are going to Jamaica for our honeymoon and how sweet will it be to dance it there as well??

TexMex2911 · May 2010

The Way I am by Ingrid Michaelson is a really good one.

We are using "To make you feel my love" by Adele. Its so beautiful and she is an amazing singer!!

rossarva · May 2010

"It's only Time" by Magnetic Fields. seriously.

Rbt124 · May 2010

We are dancing to Everything I do I do it for you by Brian Adams. The words are amazing anf express the way we feel about each other.

dwilansk · May 2010

We're not sure yet, but I love Adele's version of "Make You Feel My Love"

saylovesmark · May 2010

We're going with Ray Lamontagne's "The Best Thing", though I have to admit- Bright Eyes and Mazzy Star are both good choices. We chose ours while we were cooking dinner together one night. My iPod was on a genius shuffle and "The Best Thing" came on. Out of the blue he started dancing with me and said, "Let's dance to this on our wedding day." I loved the song before, but I love it even more now.

melanieandkirk · May 2010

I think we are using Ingrid Michaelson- "The way I am" too.
Another nice one is Chantal Kreviazuk-"It feels like home to me"
I like Procol Harum- "A Whiter Shade of Pale" Not really about love too much but still love the classic sound.
Pearl Jam"s- "Yellow Leadbeater" was one I loved too but it might be hard to dance to and doesn't really have lyrics.

good luck finding something

jrshearer · May 2010

Since your FI loves rock (as do I) - maybe our choice would be of help. My guy and I are dancing to a shortened version of Metallica's "Nothing Else Matters." I say "shortened" because it's got that 3-5min. guitar intro., but it's beautiful and I've always loved it!

bugnolen · May 2010

Our wedding is also in a week--May 22nd and we have chosen "Truly " by Lionel Richie--it just seems to fit us.

mls152 · May 2010

We are rock (alternative and classic) people and we chose "just breathe" by Pearl Jam... It was absolutely beautiful and many hadn't heard of it but have asked about it since. It was perfect for us because I LOATHE cheesy love songs!

AngieAyrton · May 2010

We are using "I'll follow you into the dark" by Deathcab for a Cutie. It really fits our personalities but its not really a dancing song but that doesn't really matter to us. The important thing is that it means something to us.

Singer6 · May 2010

"The Luckiest" by Ben Folds... BEST SONG EVER!!!
At least I think so.

Good luck!

melissa.sue · May 2010

I love you guys! The Way I Am is one of our favorite songs right now, and it's so perfect for a first dance ... I may have to change my mind ...

psnook · May 2010

We have a song that most have not heard... but its really sweet and with your background you might like it. It's by Amel Larrieux called "No One Else." have a fabulous wedding and good luck!! Enjoy every moment. I have two weeks....
Yeah.

littlemeeghan · May 2010

This might be a LITTLE slow to dance to, but Cyndi Lauper does an AWESOME cover of Unchained Melody. I wouldn't exactly call Cyndi Lauper or Unchained Melody "current" but it's such a different, cool twist, you might like it.

jmzenger · May 2010

I liked "Lucky" by Colbie Caliat and Jason Mraz for my first dance... but my parents picked it as their 25th anniversary song before word got out that my fiance and I were planning to get hitched. oh well haha

lagentner · May 2010

I feel your pain. A suggestion is the remake of "Can't take my eyes off of you" by Muse or the one by Morten Harket is a good one also. Good Luck and keep us posted!

marandala · May 2010

To Make You Feel My Love...my cousin is singing it....it is a Bob Dylan song, but we are using the Garth Brooks arrangement....it doesn't really have a country feel though...more of a slow romantic song...GOOD LUCK!

JoannaT35 · May 2010

BLUE OCTOBER "18TH FLOOR BALCONY"

[Deleted User] · May 2010

we are using Smile by Uncle Kracker
