    We have no idea.  But we also still have a year to decide!

    Let me hear 'em ladies.  What will your first twirl as a Mrs. be soundtracked to?

    Secret Confession: What made me think of this post was Elton John "Blessed" was playing on the radio at my work and I secretly LOVE that song!! (though I would not make it a first dance song ;)

    We were going to use "Then" by Brad Paisley - then changed our minds two weeks before the wedding! Now we are using "Feels like Home" by Chantal :)

    I was at a wedding recently where "Blessed" was the mother/son dance, so cute.

    Our first dance is "Love of a Lifetime" by Firehouse - nothing like a monster ballad to get the party rockin!

    Ours is "I'd Love to be Your Last" by Clay Walker.

    Since i'm an encore, this song has special meaning for me. You can read the lyrics HERE.

    I think we're doing "Let Your Love Flow" by the Bellamy Brothers.  We both love old country and I don't want a slow sappy song and this one is just perfect and I can totally picture us twirling around having fun!

    This will be ours:

    This I Promise You - Ronan Keating - First Dance - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-2Qc_tSNNM&feature=related

    We didn't have a song, but when we heard this one, we knew it was the one because it made us both cry.

    We were going to use "Fly Me To The Moon" (Frank Sinatra of course!) but then we realized we hate dancing :P So we didn't do a first dance.

    @jackie-o: Going to find it..hold on. Never heard of it.

    I'm back....that's beautiful. The beat is faster, so it kind of depends on how fast you want to dance. Can you use that song maybe for your parents to come in?

    We're thinking of "My phone's on vibrate for you" by Rufus Wainwright. Very sweet and slow, and SHORT! 

    No album version on youtube, but here it is live:

    @MrsWrangler: I love that song! It makes me tear up every time I hear it.

    Ours will be "you and me" by Dave Matthews band. It reminded us so much of our relationship from the day it was released and brings back so many great memories for us.

    This was such a hard decision for us.  It was difficult to find a song that was slow enough that he felt comfortable dancing to, but not a complete snooze and still had awesome lyrics.  I finally stumbled upon it one day... "This kind of love" by Sister Hazel... I'd never heard it before, but instantly fell in love with it!

    Ours is The Night Will Go As Follows by Spill Canvas.  It's long, but we both love it.  :)

    P.S.  I'm not exactly sure if that link will work or not, I'm at work and don't have sound or a flash player here.

    We used Amazed by lonestar. I was a little scared people would think we were cheesy since I thought it was such an overused song. Turns out a lot of people had never heard it and the people that had said that it was so more meaningful once you hear it at a wedding. Everyone loved it!

    Ours is Into the Mystic by Van Morrison.  It's a little jazzy so hopefully we can do something besides just sway back and forth.
