First Dance song issues......

What should your first dance song be? SHould it be a song you just both like? Or a song that means something to the two of you? Or should it be about the words in the song?

You see we picked our song Faith Hill - There You'll Be, as its a song we both liked, and meant something to the 2 of us, we are going to Hawaii for our Honeymoon and visiting Pearl Garbour and this song featured in Pearl Harbour the film.

However after closely reading the lyrics im not sure if its appropriate for a Love song ie first dance, as it kind of seems to me that its about someone when their gone?!

What are your thoughts?

It should be your song ! Everyone has one ! ... Ours is starship Nothing gonna stop us know :-)

I love that song by Faith Hill BUT it is about someone dying. I think though you can make it about what you want if it is relevant to you? We are undecided on our first dance as we don't have a song really. My song to him is 'Bubbly' by Colbie Calliat, he doesn't have one to me, he listens to rubbish music lol We do both like 'Finally found someone' by Bryan Adams and Barbra Streisand, all the words in that song are really relevant, we started out as friends and it started out as coffee (stayed there for bloody months too lol) so maybe you could find a song that you like the words of instead? But I still think if that song is 'your' song then it's relevant enough to you to use it x

Me and my H2B don't have a song and never have, well we both used to like the dance tune My My My when we used to go clubbing 8 years ago! So in our situation we both tell the other if we think there is a good song and listen to it but rule it out if we don't like all the lyrics!! At the moment I am really liking Better by Tom Baxter as I do feel my H2B makes my days better and he likes the song too. I like Amazed by Lonestar but my H2B doesn't like the fact everyone else has it and wanted a less known song. I also love Michael Buble and his music but my H2B ruled him out!!

Basically as we didn't already have a song as a couple we are looking for an appropriate first dance song that isn't over used, that we like the lyrics of and think we would be happy dancing together to. One of my friends found her song too slow to dance to!!

I love the song There You'll Be by Faith Hill and did think about it as a wedding song when my sister and I were listening to love songs on youtube but when we played it we both started crying! So as much as I love the song it makes me sad as it is about love and the support she got from her partner who she looses. I think I find it harder as associate the song with the film and my H2B is a pilot for the forces. However if you both love the song then have it as it is lovely.

I want ours to be the countdown theme or at least walk down the aisle to it!

You could go with something ironic... Still havent found what I'm looking for maybe? Hehe

Haha that's brilliant!!

We joke about having the funky gibbon by the goodies but we're not that far into our planning for it to be too serious.......yet!

I double dare you!

I was on countdown (I don't like to bang on about it though.  I hardly ever mention it) so I feel I should ;)

Ours is best friend by queen. I picked it alone which might make the sentiment invalid.

But if OH picked it, it would be Another Level "let me lick you up and down" sooo, I feel I must  make the final call on this one!!

LOL Sarah, that's a great choice, let him have it hahaha

I don't think people really pay much attention to the words so I'd go with a song u like.

I have a similar problem and I really don't want a first dance. We have a song but I don't even remember how or why it is our song and I don't even like it. It makes me cringe! I must add that I'm not really a fan of mushy songs plus we can't dance the well so it will just be a total embarrassment. I am trying to find a pop song / dance track that is very very short but otherwise I'm not dancing!

I think first choice would be something that means something to you, but it a couple don't have 'a song' then they find one with lyrics that suit them. People will be focussed on you rather than the lyrics on the day!

We couldn't decide between 2 so we've asked my sister to sing the more lyrical one at the ceremony so people will be focused on it, then we're having the more dancey one for first dance.

We dont have a song either which made it really hard. I trawled through hundreds of songs and think we have settled on Jason Mraz: I wont give up as it fits really well although I also like Micheal Buble: Everything.

We are not a mushy couple at all so its hard finding something that doesnt make us want to roll our eyes

I just go for a song that is relevant to our wedding and meaningful to us too.  We have chosen On this day, lovely words

Brilliant suggestion for going down the aisle (ot my mate was on Countdown and won a game)
