    As you consider the songs for your wedding, I would like you to consider this

    On your first dance you start with your selection for the wedding. Then about the middle of the song you separate and take turns dancing for each other. . . kinda like in a competition. You do a few of those and then back to your couples song as you finish your dance. I saw this in a video and thought it was great

    There are so many but a few that we will be doing are:

    My Little Girl- Tim McGraw

    Smile - Uncle Kracker

    I'm a Believer - Smashmouth

    Then- Brad Paisley

    Footloose - Blake Shelton or Kenny Loggins

    Twist and Shout - Chubby Checker

    The Way You Make me feel- michael jackson

    Marry Me- Train

    I'm Yours- Jason Mraz

    We go together- Olivia Newton Johnn & John Travolta

    There are several others, but those are the ones I can think of right now. We will be playing a lot more older music from the 30s up till now. Probably no rap or anything like that. We mainly have a good old country crowd with most of the adults in attendance over 30 and also quite a few elderly. I can't wait!!

    I love this thread btw... gives great ideas for songs to play!!

    MandC S. Falling Slowly by Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova is a great choice for a first dance. It is always interesting to see the wide variety of songs that couples would like to see played at a wedding. I think the more songs that have personal value to certain family members and friends, the more memorable the wedding will be. Everyone knows the YMCA but does anyone actually have a personal connection to it? Probably not. Keep the lists coming!

    We probably had the most inappropriate reception music of all time! It included things like "Before He Cheats" and "Honeyed Out." But the singer was a friend who is also a professional singer, and a lot of our other friends know and like her as well, so we just went with the completely nontraditional approach.

    Our first dance song, though, was Leonard Cohen's "Dance Me to the End of Love," which was both appropriate and beautiful.
