We all know that there are some songs that are just used far too much for first dances... So... What are some original song ideas that would work for a first dance?

    I still haven't figured ours out yet. I'm having a difficult time when it comes to choosing any of the music. There are so many great choices and I'm not great with making decisions.. Lol

    @KellyT: I love Maroon 5's version of The Way You Look Tonight.

    I've always heard that the first dance should be the first song you danced together to. That's the song we've chosen.

    We were going to use Al Green...Let's stay together (which is our song)...two days prior we switched to Your Song by Elton John. We were sitting in the car and he said that he always loved that song. I told him since I was young I had always wanted it to be my wedding song, but I didn't think it was appropriate since I havebrown eyes. When it played he

    Considering Gone Gone Gone - Phillip Phillips. I just need a good choreographer to make a fun upbeat dance for us!

    More in Love with You by Jason Reeves. He's a singer songwriter type that writes for Colbie Callait. The song is a duet so we like that it's a two sided story Smiley smile

    Barbara L ist right. In Germany you waltz. So we re looking for an waltz version. Brel was also an option. I will hear the Fionna Apple tip! For me I love Cupid from Amy Winehouse.

    Ours was an original by a friend that's in a vocal duo. They played it live at the reception. On iTunes search for the band Penny Rae, its the song 'Paradise'

    I'm leaning towards Better Together by Jack Johnson I really like the pace. My other choice was footsteps because I liked the meaning behind it but FH wasn't really crazy about that one

    We used “Then” by Brad Paisley.

    I also would’ve loved to use the song I walked down the aisle to, “It feels like home to me,” it’s such a beautiful song.
