First dance song

I have a list....and when I bring it up to the FH he then goes off on a tangent and we get distracted. The two I like best so far are

1. Etta James - At last (because we are both in our mid to late 40's and it just fits)

2. Michael Buble - Everything (because it is cheery and happy and also mushy and romantic at the same time)

The rest of the list is:

Lucky - Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillat

It had to be you - Frank Sinatra

Unforgettable - Nat King Cole

The Way You Look Tonight - Harry Connick Jr

Make You Feel My Love - Adele

Wonderful Tonight - Eric Clapton

Thinking Out Loud - Ed Sheeran

Come Away With Me - Norah Jones

Like I'm Gonna Lose You - Meghan Trainor

Shut Up and Dance with Me -Walk the Moon

Hooked on a Feeling - Blue Swede (everytime we hear this one we stop what we are doing and both sing it at the top of our lungs so this might not be the best choice for a first dance)

Love Song - Adele

Marry Me - Train

A Thousand Years - Christina Perri (If I could get over the fact it was the Wedding Song for Twilight this one might be the top pick- every time we hear it the FH and I say that it is the perfect first dance song...and then we both go why didn't we pick this one...oh yeah Twilight)

Our first dance song ..is our song .. the very song we first danced to at an event and the very song he had playing in the back ground when he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him! our song has so much meaning to us! i couldnt have picked a better one! Who I am with you- Chris Young

My Best Friend by Tim McGraw , I'm going to propose that song to my husband. He shouldn't be to fussy. He listens to punk rock and ska. I'm not sure if he knows any slow music. Lol

Hi Emilie! That is the only thing we are doing that will be the same from one of my parent's wedding. My mom and step-dads wedding was very different as they wanted a celtic theme... However we have been considering having my parents first song dances and having them come up and dance as well in front of everyone! Even though the day is about us, we want them to feel just as included! We just aren't sure how to go about doing something like since our song is going to potentially be the same as my dad's song!

Hi Chelsea I love that you created this discussion!

I just can't wait to see all the songs that will be on your playlist! I'm sure they're all going to create such a wonderful moment at your wedding! It's so sweet to have you're having the same song as your dad's wedding with your step-mom!! Are you taking any other idea/inspiration from your parents' weddings?

I love Ed Sheera! This is going to be so wonderful! You should share you choices in this discussion Alexis!

I can't wait to hear what other ideas you came up with!

Is that you and your FH's favourite love song?

Hahaha that's so funny that you start laughing when you hear it Terry! But I'm sure that could make an even better moment with your new husband. I love laughing and I think it would also be great for a first dance and make it so authentic! But if you feel that would make you uncomfortable, I understand if you want to go for a different song

You should see this discussion about cute moment between brides and grooms! I think they're all so amazing!

What moment are you looking the most forward to in your wedding?

Awh I love that song! That was actually in my list of ones I was choosing from! Hopefully you guys can maybe find something maybe in the middle of newer and older and suits both of you!

We didn't decide yet but seems like we can't agree haha. I like more newer song and he likes older songs . He really wants I don't want to miss a thing from Aerosmith but I keep laughing when I hear it and I feel so weird. I don't know why. We will see

I think its great when people choose different styles of first dances! Always interesting to see the different directions you can go! And I think its great you guys want to do something that maybe isn't done as much now-a-days especially if you both feel that a love song isn't for you guys!

I love those song choices! I am a big fan of your Ed Sheeran choice!

When the time comes, I'd like to propose a few of the following for my FH to choose from:Thinking out loud - Ed SheeranCrazy Love - Van MorrisonWhen I'm 64 - the BeatlesDie a happy man - Thomas Rhett
There's a few others, but I can't think of them right now.

Agree- I think it's very nice to include things from parent's and grandparent's weddings!

I joked about it the other night when a commercial for Grease came on or something- and it was the first idea FH was like "oh, thats not so bad" for.....anything else he tuts at.

HEYYYY Chelsea!

Sounds like a nice choice for your first dance . We haven’t decided yet, FH is so fussy about the music

Ummm you absolutely should do the Sandy Danny dance number!!!!!!

We have not chosen yet- but it will likely be a less waltzy song...I TOTALLY get why most people choose love songs, and the dances are lovely...but we just can't get past the cheesy feeling we get when try to do it.

Open to ideas- otherwise its likely we'll just do the sandy/ danny dance number from grease.
