    Hey Ladies,

    Anyone have any suggestion for a first dance song?  So far, we are considering "Here and Now" by Luther Vandross and "Forever" by Dave Hollister.

    "Forever" - Dave Hollister

    "Here and Now" - Luther Vandross

    I'm still undecided.... It's between the following:

    A Song for You- Donnie Hathaway
    SoBeautiful- Musiq
    The Point of It All- Anthony Hamilton
    Sweetest Love- Robin Thicke

    They are all my favorite.

    @Jamaican Bride, I love "Old Lovas"! I'm not even engaged yet, but we will probably do "Where Would I Be" by Kindred.

    Our first dance is going to be Moody's Mood For Love. Still thinking about the version though. It's between the Take 6 version on Q's Jook Joint and King Pleasure.

    I'm walking down the aisle to So High by John Legend, and FI is walking to (I know he wants a theme song...) to Mr. Magic by Grover Washington. Still have to figure out seating music and if the bridal party (only 2 each) are going to share my song.

    I have no earthly idea.  M is in charge of all of the music and I found out through a slight groomzilla moment that he is even deciding what I am walking down the aisle too. I wanted Sade's By your side and he was like NO what are you doing I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL MUSIC. I was like mmm-kay.  His brother in law and I were discussing it (his brother in law is a musician) and we both looked at him and laughed...

    I love Old Lovas too! I'm a huge Dwele fan.  I think we might have our first dance to Beautiful by Tweet.  It totally went under the radar but I dedicated it to my FI when we were in college back in 2002.

    Golden139    August 13, 2011   live in Texas, wedding in Michigan

    I would love "Here & Now" by Luther Vandross as our first song. It's so beautiful and classic and just makes me think of us :)

    And I would love to use "Make Me Whole" by Amel Larrieux in some way at our wedding--possibly as a dedication. It's a perfect description of my love for him.

    The first dance will either be Like a Star by Corrine Bailey Rae or Come Away With Me by Norah Jones. 

     

    I'm trying to find a good instrumental version of A Change is Gonna Come by Same Cooke to walk down the aisle too. I can just imagine those opening strings right before I start to walk down.
