First Dance Song: Ideas Please!

what are everyone's first dance song?

i love 'it's oh so quiet' bjork and 'i only have eyes for you' flamingos and 'my little corner of the world' yo la tengo (so cute!)

xoxo

I only have eyes for you is my Father/Daughter dance song. My dad used to sing it to me when I was little.

Our first dance song is 'Thank You' by Led Zeppelin.

You can also consider 'Here,there and everywhere'- beatles
'Maybe I'm amazed' Paul McCartney
'Your Song'-Elton John
'And the way you look tonight'- Sinatra


just a few...

We JUSTTTTTT 10 mins ago decided!!!

Into the Mystic, Van Morrison

Not everyone's cup of tea i know but we are REALLY happy with the choice (and FH is from Ireland so that's a nice little bonus too)...

those are some great choices... the ones that were in the running were 'the way I am' by ingrid michaelson, 'real love' by regina spektor and a few others.... if you are more into the indie, fm for some more choices.

Oh, I'm using Real Love as my processional!

We still haven't decided on our first dance...I would want a Bowie song, because we met through him but another option is 'The Luckiest' by Ben Folds. Such a beautiful song.

'Breathe' by Faith Hill....
Love it!

We used 'I Could Not Ask For More' by Edwin McCain.

We are deciding between that and 'All I want is U' by U2. I'm pulling for Edwin McCain, FH for U2

now we're thinking 'i melt with you' modern english, but there's this french band that did a remake and it's easy to sway to.
Moving forward using all my breath
Making love to you was never second best
I saw the world crashing all around your face
Never really knowing it was always... mesh and lace

I'll stop the world and melt with you
You've seen the difference and it's getting better all the time
And there's nothing you and I won't do
I'll stop the world and melt with you

(We should know better) Dream of better lives the kind which never hate
(We should see) Trapped in a state of imaginary grace
(We should know better) I made a pilgrimage to save this human's race
(We should see) Never comprehending a race that's long gone by

(Let's stop the world) I'll stop the world and melt with you
(Let's stop the world) You've seen the difference and it's getting better all the time
And there's nothing you and I won't do
(Let's stop the world) I'll stop the world and melt with you

The future's open wide

I'll stop the world and melt with you
(I'll stop the world) You've seen some changes and it's getting better all the time
And there's nothing you and I won't do
(I'll stop the world) I'll stop the world and melt with you

The future's open wide
