Wedding dance

Jane · Guest

my hubby to be and I need to pick a song for our first dance. We have no idea what to choose. I don't want to follow the sheep and have the usual stuff, and I also want it to be meaningful without being too sloppy. I need inspiration.

We are going to choose somethig a bit nearer the time. I feel the same as you, its hard to find something that feels personal to you and yet happy to share with 100 people, especially when you consider your husband is not the only person you dance with to the first dance. hectic!

Thanks for the advice ladies. Me and the other half have really struggled on this one. He is so worried about looking like a big girls blouse that the most romantic thing I can get out of him is: You do something to me Paul Weller. Do you think thats a good one?

All opinions appreciated. Smile

Hi
Just saw your question and thought I would give you a little advice. My hubby and I have a wedding cake and mobile wedding disco business and come across this problem all the time with brides and grooms. We usually advise them to go along with 'their song' if they have one. This would usually mean something that reminds them of when they first met, you know that song that comes on the radio or when you are out somewhere and you automatically give each other a look or a smile. It doesn't matter what it is - doesn't have to be sloppy or romantic - we had one couple whose first dance was 'I wanna be like you' from the Jungle Book - and believe it or not our song is Are Friends Electric by Gary Numan way back from 1979 - so you see it can be anything you like.

Sometimes B & Gs just don't feel comfortable with the idea of standing under the spotlight, alone, dancing to a slushy tune, just because they are expected to.

How about cutting strait to a "Family Dance". Something more upbeat that involves mums & dads, best man & partner,bridesmaids and partners. Maybe in a circle,"Of Love", possible a bit of a sing along chorus.

Your my first, last, my everything.
My Girl.
Pretty Woman.
What a wonderful world.
You're just too Good to be true, can't take my eyes of off of you.
The way you look tonight.
You'll never walk alone.
Angels.

Whatever you feel comfortable with.

With less than 3 weeks to go we have a song for our first dance- Leanne Rymes - How do I live without you.

... and HE suggested it!

One way around the whole 'spotlight' thing for the first dance that we suggest to our clients is having the Bride & Groom just do the first 30 seconds of the song (or however long you want) and then calling the other guests onto the floor

Yes we were a bit bemused that we were alone the entire length of the song. We started chatting about our day and in the video I looked like i was having row with my new hubby ( I wasn't i was just telling him about stuff people were doing that i hadnt had a chance to mention before because otheres were listening) wrong move - save all your gossip till you are alone without cameras and videos pointing at you - you strangely get used to it in a big brother housemate fashion Mad

I wouldn't have the will young song. its a lovely song and i really like it but i don't think it makes you feel like your gonna be together forever, isn't it about someone messing about with someonelses heart?

I want a song that people listen to the words and they appreciate why we are getting married, so if you feel the same i am not sure it is the song for you.

We have NO IDEA what we are gonna have

It was a mild attempt at humour. We havent got a clue yet, the song that was around when we got together was " Im Horny" dont think many people would appreciate that do you?
