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...

I wish I knew. It was originally At Last, but it is used too much. I want All My Life by KC and JoJo because it was the song that was out when we first met.

ETA: But we are decided on our second dance song which is You're my first, my last, my everything by Barry White. We both want to bust out and then invite the BP to join.

Same here!!! i thought i was original with that idea until we were at a wedding, and they did it as their second song too haha it's okay though, i still love that song, and it really brings out the energy in people

Thanks neeniebean86 at least I know someone else has heard that song. Ive already played it for MOH and she doesnt think it sounds like a wedding song but we really like it and he shot down all of my suuggestions so its the only one really agree on.

Re: What are you and FH using for first dance song?

We're using By Your Side by Sade. Although after we picked it we heard that Carmen and Dave used it and so did Brad and Jenn. Oh well. I guess if it's good enough for them, it's good enough for us

That's my parent's wedding song!

I love 'classic' old songs that last through time .... FH & I are going for dance lessons so we can keep the tempo going

Re: What are you and FH using for first dance song?

Personally I want to use I'm Your Angel by Celine Dion and R. Kelly.

But I think I may be having second thoughts.

Re: What are you and FH using for first dance song?

Me and my FH are also using 'could not ask for more too', but the version by Sarah Evans...always loved the words to the song but when he showed me her version i fell in love with it. She is a country singer, but she isnt twangy or anything. My fiancee actually played the song while he proposed to me, so it was and is and always will be a special song to us!

Re: What are you and FH using for first dance song?

We'll I gone back a forth a million times, but I finally found the perfect one..

Destiny by Christina Aguliera and 'some dude' can't find out who..yet.. its from one of Jim Brickman's albums
ETA: The some dude.. is Jordan Hill.. tada@! lol

What if I never knew
What if I never found you
I'd never had this feeling
In my heart

How did this come to be
I don't know how you found me
But from the moment I saw you
Deep inside my heart
I knew

Baby, you're my destiny
You and I were meant to be
With all my heart and soul
I give my love to have and hold
And as far as I can see
You were always meant to be
My destiny

I wanted someone like you
Someone that I could hold onto
And give my love
Until the end of time

But forever was just a word
Something I'd only heard about
But now you're always there for me
When you say forever
I'll believe

Baby, you're my destiny
You and I were meant to be
With all my heart and soul
I give my love to have and hold
And as far as I can see
You were always meant to be
My destiny

Maybe all we need
Is just a little faith.
Cause baby, i believe
That love will find a way.
hey..

Oh baby, you're my destiny
You and I were meant to be
I give my love to have and hold
And as far as I can see
You were always meant to be
My destiny

We're using 'Loving Wings' by Dave Matthews Band for our first song, and then when everyone joins us it will be 'Everything About You' by Steve Poltz from the Notting Hill Soundtrack.

Loving Wings

My heart was made of broken bones
My soul a bag of stick and stone
But you along this dusty road
Have come my love to take me home

So I give to you my everything
You've given me these loving wings
Angels have all gathered 'round
To hear me sing my love out loud
Ohh ohh ohh ohhh
Ohh ohh ohh ohhh

Your lightly love lifted me away
Out of a darkness cold and gray
Now I work beneath the midday sun
My cool blue water you have come

So I give to you my everything
You've given me these loving wings
Angels have all gathered 'round
To hear me sing my love out loud
Ohh ohh ohh ohhh
Ohh ohh ohh ohhh

So take your place here next to me
And I'll take my place there next to thee
And no matter how far we may roam
It's by your side I'll make my home

So I give to you my everything
You've given me these loving wings
Angels have all gathered 'round
To hear me sing my love out loud
Ohh ohh ohh ohhh
Ohh ohh ohh ohhh

Everything About You

I love everything about you
I love the way you comb your hair
And I love the way you sachet in the room
Your perfume lingers in the air
I love everything about you
Whoa, about you
Mmm-mmm

I love the way you lick your lips, dear
You got fireworks in your head
And I love the way you bring me water
When I'm thirsty in your bed
I love everything about you
Whoa, about you
Mmm-mmm

You were surely kissed by angels
Look at the freckles on your face
You got the Devil in your eyes
You disappear without a trace

I love sneaking up behind you
When you're looking in the mirror
The way your eyes lock in to mine, dear
Without guilt and without fear
I love everything about you
Whoa, about you
Mmm-mmm

I love Dave Matthews..but not sure I know that song? Where is it from?

It's actually a song that they haven't recorded in the studio yet - they've only played it live. It's on their Gorge DVD if you have it. FI and I are a part of the Warehouse (the fan club) and we have several live versions we can choose from through show tapers. I love it because of the words, but also because it is unique. FI and I have been to about 30 of their concerts between us!
