    I was just wondering what everybody has picked for their first song. Ours is unchained melody by the righteous brothers. (:

    We still have a while, but I'm pretty sure its between Yellow by Coldplay but we are going to have my uncle's band do a cover of it. He's always been my favorite uncle and I was the first girl cousin on that side for a long time, so I think it'd mean a lot to him orrrrr Tangled Up In You by Staind, but we will be shortening it since its so slow.

    Ours will be Love Song by 311 (yes, it is a Cure cover).  That's our song and really represents our relationship well.

    Ours is going to be a surprise (but you bees won't tell my wedding guests, right?) - we're pretty sure we're going to choose "You Are the Best Thing" by Ray Lamontagne, but we haven't totally ruled out "Better Together" by Jack Johnson. Funny, because I always thought I'd want something really old school (Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald...) for the first dance!

    We are thinking about Kings of Leon-Use Somebody...this is our official "song" and anytime either of us here it we both start smiling. Im hoping we can find a live version thats a little slower and maybe even acoustic. and if we get a band...we are gonna make them learn it!

    We did "Never Can Tell" by Chuck Berry and danced a la Uma Thurman and John Travolta from "Pulp Fiction".  My husband doesn't dance so to see him do this was a shocker and a hoot for our guests (and 3 minutes of torture for him).  It was memorable!!!

    Ours is "Just Breathe" by Pearl Jam.  It's from their new album Backspacer.  My FH is a HUGE Pearl Jam fan, and I loooooove Eddie Vedders voice in this song, so gorgeous!

    Lovely Day by Bill Withers.  It's his favorite song, and the words just fit perfectly.  When I suggested it as our first dance, he was touched :-)

    Ours is Eight Days a Week by the Beatles - we totally stole it from Turk & Carla's wedding on Scrubs - we didn't officially have a song but we both LOVE Scrubs! I'm really excited about it and it'll be good cos we're not really "learn a dance routine" kinda kids!

    Oooh and @Waitingbee - that is a brilliant song - I'm so gonna add it to our playlist!

    We'll dance to Soulmate by Josh Turner. I shed a whole lot of tears the first time I heard this song because the words are so perfect.
