First Dance Songs Do they have to be slow?

I think you should do what works for you. There is no hard and fast rule about the first dance. Do what you and FH will be inspired by the most.

FH wants to use "Thing Called Love" for our first dance. I am on the fence because its a rock song, but at the same time, it totally inspires us.

My only recommendation is to practice dancing to it. If you are taking dancing lessons, bring this song to try out, but also bring a back-up slower song to try if that one doesn't work. I agree with Margaret that there are no rules as far as what you dance to, as long as you feel comfortable dancing to it.

Another alternative, also, is to use it somewhere else in your ceremony. My favorite love song is "Anything for You" by Ludo, which does not have a dancing beat to it at all. Rather than try and figure out a way to dance to it, I'm going to use that song during the cake cutting. Just a thought for if you decide your first choice song won't work for a first dance.

You can dance to whatever you want to. Slow, fast, anything in between. But just practice dancing to it. If you're wanting to take dance lessons, bring your song choice (or a few options) to your dance instructor and he/she will be able to help plan something that will work

I'd say it's up to you and your FH!

and laughing, because I just asked my DJ yesterday if the LAST dance is supposed to be slow. (is it?)

My husband and I danced to "the story" which gets pretty upbeat. We didn't practice and it was perfect

Hey we are wedding date twins!! I think you can do whatever you want... It's your wedding We have most of our music picked out right now for the wedding. Good luck!!

Our MOH & BM used "I believe in a Thing Called Love" for theirs. Definitely not slow

Whatever makes YOU happy. Our's is "Till My Last Day" by Justin Moore.. not too fast, but still upbeat and happy! I would say practice if you and your FH don't dance together normally though.

I think the first song should be whatever you guys are comfortable dancing to. Whether it's slow or fast.

Our song is the tiesto remix of all of me. do you.

Ours is "I'm Yours" by Jason Mraz. The original acoustic version. At first, I wanted to pick something more "our there" because I hear this one on the radio a million times now and I feel like everyone knows it... but that's our song, and so that's what it will be The tempo isn't all that fast, but the feel of the song is a little more upbeat.
