Our was the Rosie Thomas version of "Let It Be Me". Absolutely perfect and the lyrics are so sweet. Our mothers were the ones to suggest the song....there are hundreds of versions we just picked our favorite. Let me know what you think.
The only things we've come up with is "walk the line" by Johnny Cash. He used to sing it to me before we got engaged ... and well, it's the closet thing we have to a song. He acutally suggested it when I asked if he had any ideas. Lukcily I used to be a dancer and I'm trying to convince him to let me coregraph something. Um ... I'll keep you all updated on that one! (=
"What If I Loved You" by Joey Gian from the movie "Return To Me" starring David Duchovny and Minnie Driver. I have always loved that song since I first heard it and my mother reminded me of it the other day and it is perfect! Upbeat and happy and romantic. I love Michael Buble and Frank Sinatra so I think this is a good unexpected choice. Here is a link to the lyrics:
Just wondering what everyone is playing for their first dance song?

Aww, Miss Pickle, I love that Rosie Thomas cover! We put that on our CD wedding favor.
And Beccs, I looove Umbrella covers. Mandy Moore's version is my fiance's favorite.
We're dancing to Such Great Heights as done by Iron & Wine.

posted by jeninrva 42 posts 7 months agoWe used "We Are One" by Kelly Sweet. It's really really pretty, and not too popular, and the words are great. You can hear/see it here:

But it's better if you just listen.
