Your 1st dance song?

Jenny8117 · February 2010

I got the idea for this post from another one, and I just wanted to know some of your 1st dance songs

Mine is "The Way you look Tonight", but not the Frank one, the one from Swing Time. The whole theme is Fred and Ginger, basically. I cant get enough of them. I paid $55 for that CD just to get the song right out of the movie. It sounds crackly and I cry every time I hear it. Let me know what you think! My fiancee has agreed to this song, thank goodness. I wanted it ever since I was 5.

What a sweet version of that song! I loved the woman's makeup too, in that video.

Here's mine. It's a Finnish song and I translated it and will provide little translation card for the guests to read.

Here's my translation (cut and pasted from my bio)

Wedding Waltz

The waltz now plays and we're the only two people in the world. You'll always be mine.

I finally get in the wedding waltz, my most beloved leads. Now is our wedding.

Just as you, my most beloved, are like a beautiful starflower, so the day brightens.

When your wish is finally granted, it brings the greatest joy.

When the day shone and the grainfields undulated, then I first met you.

You also brought warmth in winter's whirling snow, and I knew you'd always be mine.

Winter has past, already the white nights have come and gone. Bird-cherries blossom.

Indeed, soon to us, my beloved, Sunday wedding bells call.

The wedding day has dawned. The attendants rejoice. To us the world is beautiful.

Whoever leads his love in the whirling of the wedding waltz, he is the lucky one.

Fortune remains ours. Everlasting, staying with us for another day.

It's to us a blissful world indeed. Our path leads us where it may.

Our first song is Lucky by Jason Mraz. I dont care how popular or that it isnt vintage. I love it. When it first came out I knew it would be our first dance song. Actually we just picked all the music over the weekend. FI picked Hit me with your best shot for our cake cutting song. He makes me a little nervous

I love Jason Mraz! That Lucky song is fantastic--Matt and I almost chose it for our first dance song because it explained our crazy overseas lovelife so well!

I think that's a great pick!

"Everything" by Micahel Buble. It's a popular choice, but we think it has a timeless quality. Plus, it has meaning for us

"I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm"

A 30's winter song for our 30's-style winter wedding. It's always sort of been "our song" and it's why we picked December (one line is, "I can't remember a worse December") for the wedding.

oh i love jason mraz and michael buble. but fiance doesnt like either one...what wrong with him lol?
I am leaning towards Baby I'm Yours cover by the Arctic Monkeys, its originally a 1960's song I think. But we are indie rock fans, and the AM are def indie band so it kinda works out.

It's funny because FH and I just chose this yesterday! We picked Alison Krauss - "When you say nothing at all". It definitely makes me cry....

We are using "Syrup and Honey" by Duffy. Nice tempo, and we like the lyrics too.

LaLaPatches · February 2010

Our song is When you love someone by Bryan Adams, so we'll be dancing to that. Since we're not having an actual reception...just dinner. We're gonna go somewhere cool on the strip, in vegas with a boom box and dance to it.

Hippie: The Way I am is another favorite of ours. FI loves it when I sing it and say "Sew on patches" because I call him patches.
