Top 10 First Dance Wedding Songs and Why They Work
This post is from a fellow wedding blogger I know. His name is Chris Morton and he has a fantastic wedding site. You can view his wedding site at theweddingwizards.com.
“One of the things you will have to do as you plan your wedding is choose your song for the first dance. While some brides and grooms have a special song, other couples find it difficult to choose a single song that represents the love they have for one another. Here are some songs you can choose as you plan your wedding dance:
Can You Feel the Love Tonight
While it was first heard in the ?Lion King,? this Elton John song describes the feeling everyone at your wedding should be having. There should be love in the air, and this song celebrates that fact.
Endless Love
Lionel Richie and Diana Ross sing a duet that has remained a wedding staple. The two singers pronouncing their love for one another can allow you to dance to how you feel without having to grab the microphone and say it yourself.
Heaven
Hoping that your wedding is heavenly, too, this Bryan Adams song is a testament to the love you and your spouse share.
Have I Told You Lately
An easy song to dance to, Rod Stewart?s ?Have I Told You Lately,? is a nice way to make a statement about your feelings toward one another. The beat and softer sound also make it an easy song if you aren?t the best dancers.
I Don?t Want to Miss a Thing
If you aren?t into typical wedding dance songs, Aerosmith?s ballad can give you an alternative to most other crooners. Even though it is a ballad, it is a rock ballad, which makes it that much more cool.
Can?t Help Falling in Love
Who doesn?t want a little bit of the King at their wedding? Even if it isn?t your first song, this song is a wedding dance staple. The waltz makes dance steps easy to follow, and the lyrics make your dance meaningful.
Wonderful Tonight
Another rock icon, this song is a great way for any bride?s new husband to remember just how beautiful his bride is on one of the most special days of their lives. It?s also a testament to the commitment of marriage rather than just the wedding day.
Unchained Melody
A beautiful song, the Righteous Brothers? ?Unchained Melody? may bring up great memories for all the guests. Romantic and sweet, this is an iconic wedding dance song.
You Are So Beautiful to Me
With an untraditional voice, Joe Cocker reminds us all about how beautiful your spouse can be ? not just on the wedding day. It is a way of telling each other just how deep beauty can be.
When a Man Loves a Woman
Percy Sledge?s ?When a Man Loves a Woman? describes just how blind love can be, but what a glorious blindness. It is another song that, if it is not the one you choose for your first dance, you will most likely want to put on your playlist.”
