Wedding first dance songs...

[SteveOBHave]

I know which one I want for my wedding but do you lot have any 'decent' suggestions?

My thought was for Mark Knopfler and Willy DeVilles - 'Storybook Love' from the movie 'The Princess Bride'

My Fiance wants Snow Patrol - 'Set Down Your Glass'
I'm not such a huge fan... altho it's a very sweet song.

Ah - the usual genius answers well done lads... you'll make a woman proud... one day...

@Dolf - nice song - bit of a fan of Semisonic I'd have to admit.

 

[SteveOBHave]

Prodigy - Smack my ***** up!

class...

@stoofa - yeah Chasing Cars is a very special song - but our best friends used that one so it's off the cards

 

[SteveOBHave]

We did Jackie Wilson - Reet Petite, was brilliant fun and different

Very cool - Awesome song. I hope you really busted it out!

 

[SteveOBHave]

I've already spoken to the mrs about my suggestion and she thinks it would be a laugh

Surely something like Grounds for Divorce by Elbow would be up there

 

[SteveOBHave]

José González - Heartbeats?

 

[SteveOBHave]

Do this

LOL yeah I have shame

 

[SteveOBHave]

We had 'I Want To Know What Love Is' by Foreigner

Classic - brilliant song by a brilliant group.

 

[SteveOBHave]

I m expecting to be flamed for this but how about the cult- Painted on my heart ? from gone in sixty seconds

I ll get the vid for ya, if I can embed it, in case no one has heard it before

Brilliant song - possibly a little too rocky for me but excellent tune.

 

[SteveOBHave]

It's The Final Countdown?



Admit it, it's running through your head now .

You're a bad man... Eye of the Tiger right back at you!

I had Fly Me To The Moon by Frank Sinatra as the first dance song at my wedding. It was one song that the wife and I agreed on without any arguments.

Very classy - I like that.

Me and the BF were talking about this last weekend actually, though we don't plan on getting married any time soon. We tried to think of a song that reminds us of eachother, that reminds us of some happy times etc. Do you think 'Single Ladies' by Beyonce is an odd choice for a wedding song?

On a more serious note though, for a long time now I've geared towards 'Amazed' by Lonestar. I know lots of people have it, but apart from the fact that it's got lovely words, it's my dads favourite song, and I've had to resign myself to the fact that he's not likely to make it to my wedding day, whenever that might be

Edit - that makes it sound like my dad is dying or something, he's not! But he's an agoraphobe, so wouldn't be able to get to any wedding venue...

LOL oh thank goodness for that - I was totally thinking that was the case haha - Amazed was a little too overdone for our liking but in the end it's what means something to you.

 

[SteveOBHave]

Whitesnake - Here I Go Again?

Firehouse - Love of a Lifetime?

 

[SteveOBHave]

Hmm I suppose if we were to choose a song that reminded us of each other it would have to be Graceland by Paul Simon.

Of course we'd have to decide to get married first.

I do very much like that song. Most excellent.

 

[SteveOBHave]

That's a great choice!!

Yeah that's an awesome song. Very uplifting!

 

[SteveOBHave]

Rick astley - never gonna give you up.

Please film it and post it online.

You're dreamin! It won't happen

 

[SteveOBHave]

how about take my breath away? I think the berlin version is a little fast but still a lovely song

however it has been renewed by Jessica Simpson http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ze9mVQu7qY its quite a bit slower and its got a nice beat

LOL I don't think I would take a Jessica Simpson song on principal

 

[SteveOBHave]

I'm trying to go for something that isn't in the top 10 first dance songs

 

[SteveOBHave]

Any kind of music genre you are looking at

Something kinda slow - similar to the first two I posted in the OP - I was more curious as to what people were after for their own, gives me a few other places to look for songs - we also need one for when my Fiance walks up the isle (we were thinking maybe Send me an Angel by the Scorpions) and one for when we walk back together.

I think i would choose this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_JmXCNPs6Y&feature=channel_page

ROTFL I love those - awesomeness

I suppose the story behind it is nice as well.

My other half lived with someone I played badminton with (this person has now moved to London but is still a close friend). Before we were together, they had a dinner party, and I was invited (little did I know said friend was trying to set us up).

At some point in the evening, I was asked to put a CD on, and I chose Graceland, musing that it was one of my favourite albums. My girlfriend hadn't heard it before, but after that dinner party bought it and it's now her favourite album .

That's cool man, always good when you can share that stuff.

i'm getting wed in feb next year, and as much as I hate dancing we're doing it to 'joe cocker you are so beautiful'

quite a cool song, still a scary thing dancing in front of 100 people

LOL You'll be fine - they aren't going to be judging you on your dancing technique - they're going to be checking out how you and your missus interact - you can't go wrong really!
