been on a music night tonight and thinking about what i would really want as a first dance ,, i have had this convo many a time , possibly with some of you , but maybe your minds have changed

what would you like as a first dance be it traditional or modern and upbeat , even if you are married what would you today have as your first dance song ?

we have such a love of many songs , we dont actually have an "our 1 song " more an our 100 songs !

We had iris by the goo goo dolls.i really wanted either that or always by bon jovi.x

We had More Than Words by Extreme

That was one of our choices too!t

Marry me - by Train. Love that new song. And if you are looking for a more upbeat one..this one is cool too...Marry you - by Bruno Mars!xxx

Mine was Whenever You Call by Mariah Carey &Brian McKnight. If I were to be getting married this year I'd still choose that. The idea of a fast upbeat song is cool, and if it a suits a couple then I get why people choose that but I'm a traditionalist and love a good slow love song so I'd always go for that.

our was shania twain your still the one, every word in the song was just so true for us xx

iris is my fav tune ever , i love the googoo dolls ! but OH would not like that

i think we're going to have Iris too, cos we can't agree on anything else but we'll definitely have Laid by James after it

We had Amazed by Lonestar. I would choose that again if we were getting married.

I'm keeping an eye on this thread for ideas lol

i love amazed ... Oh thinks its too common a choice now ,,,,

i love U2 all i want is you

we had ronan keating, when you say nothing at all

i had songbird -eva cassidy to walk down the aisle

but our song now is more amazed by lonestar, i wouldnt say it was common our dj didnt have it as we wanted it for the last dance lol

also like islands in the stream by dolly parton and kenny rogers lol

we had a huge problem with the first dance...we just couldn't decide

we love so many old ones, but decided bruno mars - just the way you are...yet on the actual day when the dj double checked with us that we definitely wanted that one, we changed it to al green, lets stay together....best decision!!

for walking down the aisle we went with stand by me...ben e king...seemed pretty apt

For our register signing we had chasing cars by snow patrol, didnt have a walking down the aisle as it was on a beach and our 1st dance was a song by a band called Runrig called The Greatest Flame

We weren't planning to have a first dance at our wedding and in the heat of the moment (and the persistent nagging from various people) I snapped and said The Birdie Song (Chicken Dance) so that's what we had.

If I was doing it again now I would have either The Birdie Song, Agadoo or the conga just because I can.

BTW everyone who came to our wedding remembers what our first dance was. Do you remember the first dance at weddings you have been to?

I remember mine, lol

ours will be stonesour - through the glass.

this has always been our song, the first time i wen tto oh's house i took the album with me and we listened to it 10+ times, then everytime i rang him it seems to come on the radio, whenever we went in the car in came on, and even now it often comes on kerrang or scuzz when we turn it on, has just always been the song we both love
