"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.

old thread but...
my parents used 'When I'm Sixty-Four' by the beatles. i think it's super cute without the sappy cheesiness some songs evoke...

Oh my goodness, I never want to hear the following songs as first dance songs EVER AGAIN:
"God Bless The Broken Road" - Rascal Flatts
"So Amazed" -Lonestar
It seems like the last 4 or so weddings I've been to have had either of those 2 songs. I a little sick of them, lol.
Whenever I've thought of my hypothetical first dance, I've always thought of "At Last" by Etta James.
I think the "fun" first dances are the best ones. You know, the ones where the couple breaks out in the middle of a sappy song and starts doing the running man to "Ice Ice Baby." Nothing says love like that.

We danced to "My Best Friend" by Tim McGraw because it was the first song we ever danced to.

Every wedding I've been to in the past few years has had "At Last" and I think it is over used and cliche for weddings now.

Sidenote: I find it funny when the couple uses "At Last" when they've only been dating for like 4 months prior to getting engaged. At last, after 4 months of dating, your love has come along!
One of my friends did a choreographed dance to "Walk this Way" and I thought it was fantastic.

WAL (I have to abreviate now) hasn't decided on hers yet, surprisingly.

WTH, choreography at weddings? The wedding I planned, there was no choreographed dancing, and any future weddings I may have, no choreographed dancing.
I must be an old fuddy duddy.
