    I would love to hear what song people are choosing for their first dance. My FI and I can't make a decision...yet!

    The Luckiest by Ben Folds, it is very romantic, quite the tearjerker.  I hope I don't cry.

    @taranixon - I love that song! My husband made me a video of our wedding photos to music for our 1st anniversary, and he put that song on it. I was bawling!

    Ours was Come Away With Me by Norah Jones

    we are dancing to "Stuck in the middle with you" by Steelers Wheel. I think its a really fun song for the first dance. I am trying to stay away from the sappy stuff, trying to avoid water works all together

    our fun "first dance" will be to "You Never Can Tell" by Chuck Berry (and dancing like Mia and Vincent from Pulp Fiction) as a joke! It's our favorite movie ever, and every time we watch it, we jump off the couch and dance like they do in the movie, so we have to!!
    But our for real first dance song is "By Your Side" by Sade, and we'll "for real" dance to that after a minute or so of twisting to the Chuck Berry song! :-)

    "Is This Love"- Bob Marley. I've been completely and totally in love with the song since first hearing it. I think it will also set the mood for the evening :)

    We were going to do "How Sweet It Is (To be love by you) by James Taylor until we tried to "practice" this weekend.  It's basically a 2 beat song and we're finding it may be a bit difficult without us looking goofy.  Soooo, I guess we are back at square one on this one!  I'm loving these ideas though!!

    We're using "500 Miles" by the Proclaimers.  We never had a really mushy song feel like ours.  one weekend we were driving back from someone else's wedding in upstate NY, and this song came on.  We both started singing simulataneously at the top of our lungs.  When we started thinking about our first dance song, we tried to recall any love songs that we connected to as a couple.  We both chose this one.  It's really fun and encapsulates the team spirit of our relationship.

    Ok mine is kinda funny. It's from Disney's High School Musical 3, and I know it's like a kids movie, but the song makes me want to cry. My fiance and I, when we first started dating, wanted to do something fun together for the heck of it...so we took waltzing lessons. And this is the song we learned half a dance to. I love it so dearly.
