    How could he not have liked Jason Mraz!!! I love him, we were going to have I'm yours... until we went to visit the photographer for the first time and he showed us a video of his work and he said how weird their first dance was!!! And it was that one it kinda put us off. It's getting played at some point in the day tho maybe when we sign the register... xxx

    We're having 2 too .. One WAS going to be kc & jojo - all my life, but I'm not sure now? Whichever we choose, my aunty is going to sing it. & the second one is a drum & bass one as we're both massive dnb heads & we first met at a rave! & that's Nu:tone - In my system (matrix & futurebound remix) .. we love the lyrics to that & it's both our fav one! xx

    I love this thread!

    We don't want a big soppy love song as our first dance, something a little more upbeat is definitely more us. We've got a few to choose from so far:

    Destiny - Lionel Ritchie
    Never too much - Luther Vandross (I think?)
    You got the love - Florence and the machine - I'd quite like this at the end of the ceremony, though.
    Beyonce - Love on top

    We seem to add a new song everytime we have this conversation! Xxx

    We're not overly soppy either, more upbeat, same as yourself! But kc & jojo has been an ultimate fav of mine for years .. H2B used to always sing one song to me but I doubt we could have it as a first dance (Fabolous - So Into You) .. I'd love to have that though as it does mean something! xx

    Ours is about as far from a traditional first dance song as possible.
    We're having Creep by Radiohead.
    It played in the car when he drove me home from our first date and we both started singing along. Knew then he was a keeper!

    I have no idea what me and the other half will have we have total opposite styles in music the only thing we both like is a bit of Reggae but thats not really suitable for a wedding dance lol .. he doesnt like any thing all lovey either so it is proving to be a very hard choice good job there is still over a year to think about it ! xx

    he won't discuss music with me as he's a bit of a music buff so says he's taking over, thankfully I trust him to make good choices

    At Last by Etta James, the lyrics say it all. I think that's the most important thing for a first dance, words that mean something to you as a couple :) (Although I have started listening to Feels like Home by Chantal Kreviazuk and have fallen in love with it a little, can see it as a great first dance song. Might get the DJ to play it at some point ) Some great choices on here :)

    We are having Set The Fire To The Third Bar by Snow Patrol & Martha Wainwright for a few reasons.

    - Firstly its H2B's fav song.
    - We both LOVE Snow Patrol.
    - Its about a long distance relationship and for the first couple of years of us being together, I went to Uni in Lincoln which was a 3 hour-ish drive away and we only really saw each other every 6/7 weeks, sometimes just for a weekend.
    - We spent our first anniversary apart due to me being at Uni.
    - Also, it was released the year that I started Uni


    Like Natalie's Snow Patrol choce, very few people appear to have heard this song!

    i have been very sneaky on the first dance as i know h2b hates dancing and i really dont want him to be uncomfortable so i have been having secret meetings with our dj and have learned and am trying to perfect adeles to make you feel my love and intend to sing it too him . Dont think he will know what to do if i can pull it off without balling as i will be in the adjoining room when it starts then i want to walk out so he see its me as he has always wanted me to sing . Only trouble is in practice i get nearly to then end then emotion takes over and the tears come so my main job is trying to sing the whole song without crying!! which is very amusing as dj is trying tricks like putting pictures up of fluffy animals or pulling funny faces which obviously is just causing me to be in hysterics!!! but i really hope it will all be worth it!!!

    One BIG day will lead to lots of little happy days !!
