    In traditional Greek weddings, you do your typical slow dance (which only recently has become popular), and then you start your traditional line dances.

    We went with somewhat of a cliche tune, Perfect by Ed Sheeran feat. Beyonce. I love how her part echoes his.

    Then we line up for our Greek dances and really get the party started lol

    I'm thinking of Can't Help Falling In Love covered by Haley Reinhart or Unchained Melody.

    (Also commenting to follow for ideas 😂)

    We are dancing to the second chorus of You & Me by Dave Matthews after the second chorus our DJ is going to blend into "Our House" by Flo-Rida to get the party started. All of our friends know this is our party/vacation song and as soon as they hear the finger snaps in the beginning they will know what to do. I just couldn't have everyone staring at us for the entire Dave Matthews song & wanted to do something fun.

    FH and I had decided to do I Promise You by the Backstreet Boys. I'm a huge BSB fan (don't judge 😂) and FH knew most of their songs before we met. So one day this specific song came up in the car and he said "this would be a good first dance song". So really, he picked it!

    I love the idea of having it blend into a song to get the party started! I feel like after the first 30 seconds - 1 min of watching pretty much anyone dance to a song, I always feel like "ok, I got some cute pics, let's wrap it up" lol. I might be doing something like this as well Smiley smile

    Sade, By your side. My FH wants to use Nothing else matters by Metallica but I’m not sold on that one. 😂

    You And I by Michael Buble. We really just started playing each other songs we liked or artists we liked until something fit us. ❤

    First dance is Stand By Me - the version by Florence and The Machine. Its so pretty!

    After that I pretty much gave our DJ free reign!

    We chose La Vie En Rose as performed by Daniela Andrade

    We had such a hard time picking out a song but chose it from HIMYM

    There's also a BSB song "I Promise You".

    We danced to Harvest Moon by Neil Young. The band that we had at our wedding did such a good job playing it! I mostly let DH pick the song because he's super picky with music.

    We are going to dance to I Cross My Heart by George Strait. My FH really wanted the song and I thought it was very nice and fit

    I think we're leaning towards "You are the Best Thing" by Ray LaMontagne

    “I’m gonna be (500miles)” by Sleeping At Last. We both heard it on a commercial and it was just perfect!

    I hadn’t thought of that. Thank you for suggesting it.
