First Dance Song at your wedding
Ok, the Mr. and I are having a hard time trying to decide what our first dance should be to-the wedding in is 4 months (dear god, I'm so unprepared...:rolleyes: )-any ideas?? So far we have:
-Come Away with Me-Norah Jones(my pick!!) -Gringo Honeymoon-REK(the TX people will know that one) -Way you look tonight-Sinatra(but so cliche!!) Married GCers, what was your first dance to? I need help!!:) |
Actually I am not married, but a classis is
Etta James, AT LAST That's going to be mine... someday! |
Ours was "My One and Only Love"...an awesome but not very well known classic.
|
Ours was "Just the Way You Are" --Billy Joel
An oldie but a goodie. Don't worry about "unprepared"--everything comes down to the wire anyway and in my case, everything worked out fine. Congrats!! Adrienne (PNAM-2003) :D |
Not married (yet!), but one song that has gotta be played at my wedding is We Have All The Time In The World by Louis Armstrong (from the soundtrack of the James Bond film On Her Majesty's Secret Service). Yeah, it's old, but it's worth playing. (It was the last song performed by Satchmo before he died in 1969.)
We have all the time in the world, Time enough for life to unfold All the precious things love has in store... We have all the love in the world If that's all we have, you will find We need nothing more! Every step of the way will find us With the cares of the world far behind us... We have all the time in the world, just for love Nothing more, nothing less, only love! |
I won't have a choice.
|
too many to choose from
i only have eyes for you-the flamingoes
back to you-john mayer te di- a.b. quantillia y los kumbia kings i'd do anything for you by jamie walters the other side by jamie walters nobody but you by jamie walters celebrate you-steven curtis chapman i love you-sarah mclachlan |
Ours was The Dance by Garth Brooks.
|
Ours was "At Last," by Etta James. :)
RedRoseSAI, my husband's best friend got married to "My One and Only Love." It is a lovely song! |
For the very first dance song, I want a classic. The song must have passed the test of time. Many of these songs are of personal importance in my current relationship, but I think I'd like to have them regardless of who I marry.
-When I Fall in Love (The Nat King Cole version, NOT Celine Dion) -Nature Boy (Nat King Cole) -What a Wonderful World (Louis Armstrong) -Grow Old Along with Me (John Lennon) -The Way you Look Tonight (Sinatra, yes a cliche...but it was one of our "first songs") -And I Love Her (The Beatles) -Overjoyed (Stevie Wonder) -The Very Thought of You (Nat King Cole) -Wonderful Tonight (Eric Clapton) |
Mistermadly and I danced to "At Last" by Etta James. Two friends of mine danced to "Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered" by Ella Fitzgerald.
|
Hubby and I danced to "How do I" - the Leanne Rhimes version
|
We used 2 because we couldn't decide. The first dance we had our parents join us and the second was the bridal party dance. We used:
"In My Life" - Beatles "I'll Back You Up" - Dave Matthews Band Good luck deciding. I know it was tough for us. |

I want to use Lover Lay Down and Crush when I get married (which is going to be a long time from now):p |
'do you dream of me' michael w. smith
'the power of love' celine dion 'yellow' coldplay 'godsend' dc talk 'crash into me' dave matthews band |

Let me ask my boyfriend... he DJ's wedding receptions on the weekends for fun (well he gets paid, but he enjoys doing it). He probably could name a million for you! |
Our first song is definitely going to be something by DMB. :) Maybe we will look back and cringe, our kids will make fun of us.....but Dave shaped my life during college almost as much as Mr. Mox. :)
|
at last is soooooo gettin played at my wedding....so gettin played!
another one i like is the duet with celine dion and ol blue eyes "all the way".....it's super pretty. celine has excellent mushy love songs, so just check her out for good ones, really...... also, what is that new song out? "if you're not the one," or something? how sweet is that? who sings it? my sister and her now ex danced to the song from moulin rouge, the lil secret song. names are escaping me........ "from this moment" by shania twain with brian white is such a wedding song |
I like Kenny Latimore's For You
For you I'd make a promise of fidelity, Now and for eternity No one could replace this vow For you I'd take your hand and heart and everything And add to them a wedding ring 'Cause this life is no good alone, Since we've become one you're all I know And if this feeling should leave I'd die And here's why All I am is for you |

A couple of really romantic, slightly less well known ones:
"To Make you Feel my Love" sung by either Garth Brooks or Bob Dylan "If you Love me" rare duet with Van Morrison and B.B. King. Really, really gorgeous song. |
I'm not married (yet...) but I know that I want my wedding song to be either "Amazed" by Lonestar or "You've got a Way" by Shania Twain.

I'm a HUGE Springsteen fan and I love, love, LOVE that song! Its on our wedding video. Makes me teary every time. :) We said we'd walk together baby come what may That come the twilight should we lose our way If as we're walkin a hand should slip free I'll wait for you And should I fall behind Wait for me We swore we'd travel darlin' side by side We'd help each other stay in stride But each lover's steps fall so differently But I'll wait for you And if I should fall behind Wait for me Now everyone dreams of a love lasting and true But you and I know what this world can do So let's make our steps clear that the other may see And I'll wait for you If I should fall behind Wait for me Now there's a beautiful river in the valley ahead There 'neath the oak's bough soon we will be wed Should we lose each other in the shadow of the evening trees I'll wait for you And should I fall behind Wait for me Darlin' I'll wait for you Should I fall behind Wait for me |

YES, sorry dude! Major Brain fart! Can you tell I just woke up??? It is my favorite love song as well...Gotta love the Boss! And the lyrics make me tear up a lil:) I think, I will listen to it right now...always make me feel better:) |
Our first dance at out wedding was an oldie called "Hold me, Thrill me, Kiss me". I can't remember who sang it, but it is a pretty song.
I sang "Power of Love" for our friends' first dance about 10 or 11 years ago. I love that song, and I was so honored they wanted me to sing for them :) |
Totally forgot my Ben Harper
"Beloved" "Waiting on an Angel" "By My Side" |
Our first dance is going to be to James Taylor's "How Sweet it Is to be Loved by You"
Its always been "our song" and its such a happy, upbeat non-mushy song :) Another song we're going to use is Jimmy Buffett's "Love and Luck" its our "other" song. |
Ours was "In My Life" by The Beatles.
Christin |
I know this is sooooooo ridiculously cheesy but there's this song by The Backstreet Boys called "How Did I Fall In Love With You" yea yea I know it's a BSB song, but the words to it are so sweet the song makes me cry everytime I hear it. I either want that played first, or The Dance by Garth Brooks.
:D |
Is it just me or does it seem that that the ladies of GC are leaning very much toward the theme of weddings and things of this nature in all the threads lately???
Anyways as for me...when i get married i would like lone star "Amazed" I already know what I want for my wedding....its all in my head...:D *sigh* :) |

When I got married in 1996 we did our first dance to "Nothing has ever felt like this" by Will Downing and Rachelle Ferrell. We did our father daughter/mother son dance to "Wind beneath my Wings"
|
Songs from weddings I've been to/sang at over the past few years:
"Faithfully" by Journey (my parents' wedding song actually) "From This Moment" by Shania Twain and Brian White "Let's Make Love" Faith Hill and Tim McGraw "Snow on the Sahara" by Anguun "This Love" by Don Henley "I Do (Cherish You)" by 98 Degrees "I Love You" by Sarah McLaughlin ... there are more but I'm at work so when I think of them I'll come back and edit.... |
Our first dance was "A Whole New World".
Our last dance was "Because You Loved Me". We also considered "Everything I do, I do it for you" (not sure of the exact title offhand) and a few others. If I could have reached forward in time, I would have liked "If You're Not the One". That was just on the radio, and they announced the performer, and I can't remember... Daniel something? |
Although I have no major plans for a wedding anytime soon, I really really really really really want Clay Aiken (from American Idol II) to sing "I Could Not Ask For More" (an Edwin McCain song) for my first dance. I know, I am dreaming, but I'm allowed. On the same topic, instead of the traditional music being played while you are eating, I want ALL Dave Matthews Band music played. I am talking the mellow, easy listening music. Maybe I will let a few other songs sneak in there, but we'll see ;)
Ah, I love this topic. I can't wait for my day to come. :D |
A song I doubt any have heard of (Unless you're from Texas or Alabama), "Angel Eyes" by Willis Allen Ramsey NOT the other song.:rolleyes: :D
edited to add a sense of the song. She is one with the mountains, she is one with the range. She is home in the woodlands, she is home on the range. And all these things of beauty have left a kiss on her, I tell you Sir. I said Lord she's as sweet as one of her pecan pies. Listening to her laughter I get hypnotized. Goodness knows I love my Angel Eyes. |

Anyway, songs... "groovy kinda love" genesis "not myself" john mayer "i'll back you up" DMB "Love Soon" john mayer "the distance" evan and jaron (serendipity soundtrack) "rock this town" brian setzer orchestra (i kinda wanna do swing at my wedding.) |
