There are literally 1000's, it all depends what you like! Do you want something different or a conventional first dance song? A friend of mine had "I predict a riot" because it was fun and different. We still haven't narrowed it down but some of our choices are: James Morrison - I won't let you go Boyzone - Every Day I love you Gabrielle - Sunshine Shania Twain - From This Moment Dire Straights - Romeo and Juliet (but it will make me cry because it was my late Dad's favourite group) There are so many to choose from. We initially wanted something fun and different but decided to go for the conventional type song. The fun and different bit is when I arrive at the registry office - "what's that coming over the hill" will play, then will break into something a bit more romantic lol xx

Me and h2b just did songs that meant a lot to us. James Morrison Better Man - for me walking down the aisle, it's a beautiful song and we both love Jame Morrison. Our first dance had to be Ed Sheeran Kiss me - he would give me a lift home from our various dates and we would both be singing this song stupidly loud and would make us laugh. He then booked us tickets to see him in the first month we were together in 9 months time, I thought he was crazy! Our song while signing the official documents at the registry office is a song that is more dedicated to my father, he passed away and we are getting married on his birthday.

There's so many choices! We're having a slowed down version of Hey There Delilah as it means the most to us but these would be my back-up songs: -Feels Like Home- Chantal Kreviazuk -Wonderful Tonight- Eric Clapton -Love You 'Till The End- The Pogues -You're Still The One- Shania Twain But I think you should try and think of a song which means something to you? Even if its a slightly faster song you could maybe try and find a slower version like we have?

I walked down to an acoustic version of Bruno Mars- Just The Way You Are.
Our first dance was Love at First Sight- Kylie from her Abbey Road Sessions album. Youtube it, it's beautiful!
It's one of my favourite albums and as soon as we heard it hubby and I knew it was perfect! It was Madness- it must be loved but we changed it!

We just thought of a band/artist we both liked and found a song that has meaningful words, we've gone for the Arctic Monkeys cover of Baby I'm Yours

And for walking down the aisle I've got a musical piece from the Amelie soundtrack just because we both enjoyed the film and thought the music was beautiful. It's called Comptine D'un Autre Ete: L'apres Midi

We are having 'Beneath your beautiful' by Labrinth and Emeli Sande as the words in it mean alot to us, this is the only music i've decide though
CommentAuthorElizabethF49
Im being piped down the aisle and our first dance is more than likely going to be Nickelback Never gonna be alone.
Its not a song I would have chosen Im not a fan of the group but we were trying to get a song from one of the groups we used to go see in gigs but none were suitable and OH suggested this and its grown on me.

JoD96, that was one of our choice before we picked this. Our niece is now performing a lyrical dance routine to it instead at the reception.

I'm walking down the aisle to Your Song (Elton John) sung by an acoustic guitar player, then after walking out to Jackie Wilson - Your love keeps lifting me higher.
First dance will be Elvis - Wonder of you.
There's so many lovely songs to choose from that we're putting together a compilation of 'love songs' to have played during the wedding breakfast, so we get to use them all
My best friend had Kings of Leon - Somebody as her first dance.

My h2b is so feminine haha, it's great. We're pretty much exactly on the same page.
Quite a lot of people seem to be opting for like classical and opera compositions i've noticed!
This is the front runner at the moment, it's from a band called Jack Pack, I guess it's quite traditional in feel (keeping with what we're aiming for) but it's also got a modern twist to it so it doesn't feel dated. [link removed]

Walk down the aisle song- Paramore- Only exception Sign the register- The Beatles- Blackbird Walk out music- David Bowie- Modern Love
Our first dance is David Bowie- As the world falls down. From the movie labyrinth. We had a few songs written down each... not only did our song choices match (we both wrote them down) but they also brought a tear to his eye. That almost never happens. He didnt even cry when our children were born. Instead of physically choosing and making it stressful both of you write down songs you like and listen to them together. You'll be surprised what you finally pick in the end.

We really struggled for a few reasons. We don't have a song that we call "our song". Beyonce Crazy in Love was at number 1 when we got together, but wasn't appropriate for a 1st dance, so we used it as reception walk in music when the DJ announced us. My husband and I also have different taste in music. We also didn't want to pick a first dance track that everyone else picks to.
To that end, after listening to lots of options, we picked Frankie Goes to Hollywood - Power of Love.
