What are you and FH using for first dance song?

Original post by jonsgirl

I'm sure this ones been done before but we are stuck on this one. We want to pick something that has significant meaning to us and is sentimental, but I mean, we've been together 5 years! theres a million songs like that!! we also dont want to risk using something cheesy and overused...
so I was just curious what everyone else has in mind...

Someone like you, by Van Morrison, the bridal party will join us half way through, and then it will go into ''just you and I ' by eddie rabbit and Crystal gayle and all the guests will be invited onto the dance floor.

Your Song by Elton John.

We were going back and forth between that and I don't Want to Miss a Thing by Aerosmith. Both have meaning but Your Song is more special to us.

I am actually kind of rooting for (and who doubted my soul) Otis Redding
Read these lyrics and tell me if this does not say it all: FI says nor romantic enough.
I told him, romance is in the romancer!
But tell me what you think of these:

That's How Strong My Love Is


If I was the sun way up there
I'd go with love most everywhere
I'll be the moon when the sun goes down
Just to let you know that I'm still around

That's how strong my love is, oh
That's how strong my love is,
That's how strong my love is, baby, baby,
That's how strong my love is.

I'll be the weeping willow drowning in my tears
You can go swimming when you're here
I'll be the rainbow when the sun is gone
Wrap you in my colors and keep you warm

That's how strong my love is, darling,
That's how strong my love is, baby,
That's how strong my love is, oooh,
That's how strong my love is.

I'll be the ocean so deep and wide
I'll get out the tears whenever you cry,
I'll be the breeze after the storm is gone
To dry your eyes and love you warm

That's how strong my love is, baby,
That's how strong my love is,
That's how strong my love is, darling,
That's how strong my love is,

That's how strong my love is, so deep in,
Well, that's how strong my love is
So much love, yes so much love, oohh,
Yes so much love, yes so much love,
Anything that I can do, I'll be good for you,
Any kind of love you want, I'll be with you....

Deb,
If your FI doesn't find those words romantic enough, what is he leaning towards? I think the words are beautiful

True Companion, by Marc Cohn. It makes me cry all the time!

I think he objects the the style of the music more -- thinks it should be 'more traditional' -- but I have loved this song for so long. I think I will win this one. I gave up flowerfield after all :)
BTW, Donna, you always say the perfect thing -- what a special quality to have!

More by Bobby Darrin

More than the greatest love the world has known
This is the love I give to you alone.

More than the simple words I try to say
I only live to love you more each day.

More than you'll ever know
My arms, long to hold you so.
My life, will be in your keeping
Waking, sleeping, laughing, weeping.

Longer than always is a long, long time
But far beyond forever, you're gonna be mine.

I know I never lived before,
And my heart is very sure
No one else could love you more.

Instrumental Break

More than you'll ever know
My arms long to hold you so.
My life will be in your keeping
Waking, sleeping, laughing, weeping.

Longer than always is a long, long time
But far beyond forever, you'll be mine.

I know I never lived before
And my heart is very sure
No one else could love you more.
No one else, could love you more.



That's my parent's wedding song!

FH wants (I Can't Help) Falling in Love with You by UB40.

I still haven't decided what song I want. We are definitely having 2 songs though.
