What was your "First Dance" song?

Re: What was your "First Dance" song?

  • RE: littlemisswhitness...."History in the Making" by Darius Rucker. DH hates country, but he absolutely loved that song when I suggested it. LOL My oldest son is the same way. But after he heard that song he asked me for the CD for Christmas last year. He says thats his and DIL's song.Smile
  • We are both Merchant Marines so our song was "The longer the waiting the sweeter the kiss" by Josh Turner. It is a song about a sailor so it was absolutely perfect for us!
  • Ours way "Sway" the musical arrangement was either the Michael Buble version, or the *** Cat Dolls- haha I don't really know because my best friend sang it. It was a really fun songs to dance to!

     

    Edit: Whoops!! I didn't think about the name of that band being a curse word!

  • 'Hold On' by Michael Buble

  • Here and Now - Luther Vandross
  • "Free" by Zac Brown Band
  • Ours was "Glass" by Thompson Square. 
  • Our first dance song was "Rainbow Connection". It was the old Muppets song, but the Sarah McLachlan version. I grew up loving this song, and my DH and I chose it jointly.

     I didn't find out until after the wedding that it had always been his parents' "our song". Because his mom died six months before our wedding, this was really precious to us. 

  • This Twilight Garden by the Cure.
  • We love Jason Mraz (it was hubby's first concert!) we almost went with "Lucky" but then thought too many people would do it/be sick of it, so we chose "I wont give up" and learned to waltz to it. we STILL have people coming up to us 4 months later telling us how much they loved our song/dance.

    ....we just watched the live feed from Mraz' concert at MSG last night (awesome!) and he closed the show with our song. he didn't even get the intro guitar part out before we were both teary eyed. haha

  • It was supposed to be The Way I Am by Ingrid Michaelson but they played I Will Follow You Into the Dark by Death Cab for Cutie which is the song (played on acoustic guitar by a friend) that I walked down the aisle to.

    Our was... Whatever it is by Zach Brown Band... DH sang it to me one day when I was having a bad day... and it just stuck as our song. :)

    WE LOVE THIS SONG TOO!!!  :)  Almost chose this one... 

  • We went with The Fray- "Happiness" we saw them in concernt and loved them and it ended up being one of our favorite songs. :)

    Home by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros
    Excellent choice. That was the very last song we played. 

    We're both illustrators, so we went with "Painter" by Norah Jones.

  • Our first dance song, was "more than everything" by Rhett Atkins.. We first heard it while we were dating (5.5 years ago) and knew we loved it. Once engaged, it was a no brainer as to what our song would be. It's not very popular, but definitely romantic.

  • We are getting married in 3 months, and our song will be "El Cerrito Place" by Kenny Chesney. We dance to this song all the time!
  • We didn't dance at our reception.  There were only 16 of us so it was a very small wedding.

  • We went with "You and Me" by Lifehouse. We heard it on our first date and we fell in love with it. For the reception, her brother and his friend played it live for us as our wedding gift. We will never forget thatBig Smile.
