"The First Dance" songs
For some reason I always think about what slow songs I want to be played at my wedding, especially the first dance (not sure why, seeing as I'm only 20 and I don't even have a boyfriend at the moment!). Can anyone think of any really good songs they've heard at weddings, or that were played at your own wedding?
As of now, my top pick for my first dance is "Because you loved me" by Celine Dion.

oh gawd...
i see youre going for uber-cliche?
you cant just pick a song as your first dance song, regardless of whoever "the one" is gonna be. what if said guy is less "because you loved me" and more "sexual healing?"
not that marvin gaye should be your #1 choice. my point being that different guys will give you a different "feel" for what that song will be.

"Because You Loved Me" was our exit song. Our first dance song was "A Whole New World."
The band we hired had a very good repertoire, but only a few songs were good first-dance or exit songs. You'd think that a band that specialized in weddings would have more suitable songs... but what drew us to hire them was the fact that they would adjust their volume and sound balance to the available space, rather than just blasting their music at top volume. Our guests could hold conversations without shouting or stepping outside.
I'd recommend this band to anyone in the Boston area, if they're still playing (our wedding was 7 years ago).

That is a good one. Two Live Crew has some nice tunes as well.

Our wedding song was "So Far Away" by Staind.
Definitely not the traditional sappy love song, but it was us.

Mine was "the way you look tonight"- the original frank sinatra version, not the tony bennett one in my best friend's wedding.

Ours was "How do I" the Leanne Rhimes version. Now I like Keith Urban's "Making Memories of Us".

Ours was "Come What May" from Moulin Rouge...but a couple from our church sung it, and it was beautiful.

You really shouldn't put the cart before the horse. Who says you're ever going to get married?

i've heard At Last- Etta James and With You- Tony Terry many many many times as a first dance selection.
i think these are nice choices as well:
Love of My Life- Brian McKnight
On This Day - Fertile Ground
Rythm of Life (even the dance mix!) - Kindred the Family Soul

When we were first introduced at the reception, we had "Another One Bites the Dust" by Queen played  Our first dance song was "The Luckiest" by Ben Folds. Mr. Folds is my favorite and I could listen to that song on repeat for hours

We're using "Looking Back on Today" by the Ataris, although I lobbied hard for "What's Your Fantasy."
Hegemon, we're using a Ben Folds song for the father/daughter dance.

Some friends and I were just talking about this the other day...
My choice is "Flowers in the Window" by Travis. I can't take a lot of love songs, but I really like this one.

I like Shania Twain "From This Moment" too. I'm a big country girl but my parents aren't so this may not go over too well, haha.
