  • Did you have a first dance? Yes

    What song did you dance too? Leather and Lace by Stevie Nicks and Don Henley

    Did you and SO pick out the song together? Or just you?  We both did.
  • Yes, it was I'll Stand by You by the Pretenders. I picked it, if I left it up to DH he would have picked out a metallica song or something.

  • Did you have a first dance? Yes. It was awkward because we meant for the wedding party to sit down at their table after the entrance, but they didn't and so they were standing in a semi-circle around us while we danced. They were about 3ft away so it was weird.

    What song did you dance too? Somewhere Over the Rainbow

    Did you and SO pick out the song together? Or just you? We agreed, but I think it was DH's suggestion.

    DH tried to make a case for GNR November Rain.  That didn't happen.

    Our first dance song was Don't Happen Twice by Kenny Chesney.   It's been our song since we started dating.

  • Yes, "First Kiss" by They Might Be Giants. I was really stumped because we wanted something no so mainstream, but sweet and would reflect our personalities. We joked about having either "Dirty Glass" or "Kiss me I'm $h!tfaced" by the Dropkick Murphy's, mostly because we thought it would be funny. However they are not entirely appropriate in terms of the situation described in the song or the language... Yes, we have a weird sense of humour.

  • I wish I had the guts to do what my BFF did, they danced to a Michael Jackson song. I mean it was choreographed and everything with moonwalking etc. it made my awkward first dance look very lame.

  • Yes - we did My First My Last My Everything by Barry White.

    I mostly picked it, DH would have picked some mopey Indigo Girls song or some weird 70's song.  I wanted something fast and fun, but romantic.

  • We did "That's How Strong My Love Is" by Otis Redding. We both picked it out. We knew it would be an Otis Redding song, but went back and forth a bit on exactly which one.

    I wish I had the guts for this too. Not necessarily Michael Jackson, but something choreographed and fun. DH never would have gone for it in a million years.

  • Did you have a first dance? yes

    What song did you dance too? Dave Matthew's Where are you going?

    Did you and SO pick out the song together? Or just you? We both picked it out together...we had a hard time coming up with something that suited both of us especially since DH doesn't like to dance.

  • Did you have a first dance? Yep

    What song did you dance too? "Come What May" from the Moulin Rouge soundtrack

    Did you and SO pick out the song together? Or just you? E chose it, actually. He really had his heart set on it and I don't dislike the song, so I was fine with it. If I'd chosen myself, it would have been something different.

  • Did you have a first dance? Yes

    What song did you dance too? We danced to Ingrid Michaelson's The Way I Am. 

    Did you and SO pick out the song together? Or just you?  We were looking for a song, and heard this one at brunch a week before our wedding. I decided it was perfect and he agreed. Neither of us had heard it before, even though it was in a GAP commercial, so we had no idea what it was. He figured out what it was and surprised me with the CD. A friend did our music on her iPod, so we had to get her what we wanted.

  • Yes, together we picked Hold you in my arms by Ray Lamontagne.

  • Did you have a first dance? Yes

    What song did you dance too? Take Make You Feel My Love by Garth Brooks

    Did you and SO pick out the song together? Or just you?  DH actually suggested it.  I made him a mix CD (lame!) while we were dating of songs that reminded me of him and it was on it. He really liked that one, so it became "our" song :)

  • Did you have a first dance? Yes

    What song did you dance too? "Love Song" performed by 311 (It's originally by The Cure).

    Did you and SO pick out the song together? We picked it out together actually, but it took a little while.

    Did you have a first dance? Yep.

    What song did you dance too? "Then," By Brad Paisley

    Did you and SO pick out the song together? Or just you?  A little over a year into our relationship, he came home and said "Brad Paisley has this new song out that reminds me of you." And it's been our song ever since...though I'll admit that I talked about our first dance being "The Luckiest" by Bend Folds.

     

  • Yes! We danced to "When I Said I Do" By Clint and Lisa Black and we both picked it out.
