So I am in a predicament.. my fiance and I love the song "When I look at you" for sentimental reasons. The lyrics are very sentimental not just us but also for me and my grandma who recently passed away. This is definitely the song I want to use for our first dance. But our wedding is very elegant...

So I am in a predicament.. my fiance and I love the song "When I look at you" for sentimental reasons.

But our wedding is very elegant and my mom says that is doesn't go with our "wedding flow". I know when people hear Miley's voice they think, crazy, wild, etc. But this is the song we love. what do I do? I want everyone to not be thinking about Miley when they see us dance but I NEED y'alls opinion. If you heard this song on for the first dance what would you think. This is the acoustic version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5hWdL63Qo0

    If this had meaning for you, then go for it! You could also opt for cover versions or acoustic.

    Elegant does not equal stuffy. You can still have your personality infused into the event and still have a lovely, elegant wedding; in fact, it might actually make it better because there should be moments of lightheartedness to balance the seriousness. Ever since Miley was a judge on The Voice, I've gained new respect for her. She is very strategic about her publicity stunts, and she has an amazing voice. No shame there. Go for it!

    Whether or not people can stand the voice of Miley or not, its your dance you decide what song to have.

    Honestly, if I was at a wedding, a first dance song not "matching" or flowing with the theme/ambiance wouldn't even cross my mind.

    If you love it, do it. Your mother is not dancing to it so why should she care. Your song & your dance. Go for it! I highly doubt anyone will think anything.

    I'm 90% sure I'm doing the theme from New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh with my dad. It has meaning to us & i don't care what anyone thinks.

    @SOS and @Lauren I have literally cried every time I have listened to it this past month. I already know I'm going to be a mess! lol And my dad recently moved myself and FH from NJ to NC and I think after that it became even more perfect for us!

    It's what you choose to dance to, not your mom. I am dancing to Butterfly Fly Away by Miley Cyrus & Billy Ray Cyrus with my dad.

    You aren't playing 'Wrecking Ball' so I don't see the issue lol. I wouldn't think twice about your song choice in this instance.

    Although, if you came in like a wrecking ball that would beyond make my night!

    Honestly I feel like people who would be "offended" by Miley wouldn't even know that WAS Miley. There's nothing wrong with the song

    I got made fun of for picking T Swift as my walk down the aisle song lol but who cares? It's a beautiful love song and it will be played by our violinist so it will sound pretty. ETA: It's the song "You are in Love"
