GTKY: First Dance Song

ShallowSeas · July 2015

I'm bored at work so humor me. What was/will be your first dance song? Why did you chose that song?

Our first dance song was Tenerife Sea by Ed Sheeran. DH and I are both big Ed Sheeran fans. When his new album came out and we heard that song, we immediately fell in love with it and decided that it needed to be our first dance song. Two weeks before our wedding, we got lyrics from that song tattooed on us in the font we used for our wedding invitations.

We danced to "Love Your Love the Most" by Eric Church. We're both huge country fans and this song just describes us perfectly. Among other things, it mentions loving: sleeping in on Saturdays, college football, trucks, dogs, and (my personal favorite) Jack and Coke.

DH and I danced to Keith Urban's "Memories of Us"

He served a mission for our church and I wrote him for two years. He was gone when this song came out and I heard it and thought of him and sent him the lyrics. He came home, proposed, and we got married 5 months later! Celebrating 9 years this month!!

No dancing. We got married in a Baptist Church. We had "I Swear" sung at the wedding. I prefer the "All-4-One" version, not the JMM version. Does that count as my "first dance song"

This Year's Love by David Gray

cattlebride · July 2015

I cross my heat, by George strait. An oldie but still good

Britta1090 · July 2015

Haven't had one/may never have one.

The closest thing would be "our song", which is tragically Piano Man by Billy Joel.

BF does this thing with our poodle where he holds up fluffybutts paws and makes it look like the dog is playing the piano, then BF sings "Sing us a song, you're the piano dog!" Makes me laugh every time.

White Dress by Ben Rector

MrsJP20082015 · July 2015

I'll be by Edwin McCain. It was our song in high school so had to be our first dance!

Edit*words on hard

WinchestertoPittsburgh · July 2015

Ours was 'Valentine' by Paul McCartney. He wrote it as his vows for his most recent wife and my DH and I just fell in love with the lyrics.

momstahp · July 2015

Awww @xojessijess15 I love that song!

Our first dance song was "Dance Me to the End of Love" by Madeline Peyroux. We picked it out years before we were engaged

Maydar · July 2015

We ended up eloping, but the song we had planned was R.E.M.'s "At My Most Beautiful." It's very 90's, sweet, and a little creepy - which describes both of us perfectly.

ShallowSeas · July 2015

I'm gonna have to check some of these songs out. I've never heard several of them but now I'm interested

bntfroggie · July 2015

Ours was "Your Song" by Elton John. DH and I used to dance in the living room of our apartment to that song and many other. I just love the lyrics.

MrsEtheridge324 · July 2015

Ours was "All of me" by John Legend. My DH was overseas when we were planning the end of the wedding so it was hard to try and find something since we never really had a song before we got engaged. We were sitting in the car and heard it on the radio and we loved the lyrics so it was sort of fate!

SmilesMcGee · July 2015

A cover by Velete Music of Mathew West's When I say I do. It makes it a nice R&B type ballad found on YouTube and converted it to MP3

spacemountaineer · July 2015

"The way you look tonight" by Frank Sinatra

We didn't dance at our wedding (we just did a nice luncheon). However, the night dh proposed he dressed up in 19th century attire (I love all things Jane Austen and period dramas). After he proposed I asked him to dance. We were up in the foothills so my car was right there. I rolled down the windows and played it from my car radio. I picked that song because I knew he was never going to wear an outfit like that again. :-)

itsmehere1212 · July 2015

We danced to "Can you feel the love tonight" by Elton John. We are both Disney fanatics and wanted to take a song from a Disney movie, we thought of Lion King right away. It was perfect.

Tara0604 · July 2015

Our first dance song was "Steady as we go" by Dave Matthews Band. My friend/one of our bridesmaids sang it with her guitarist from her band at the reception as we danced. Still one of my favorites.

MNturnsVA · July 2015

Ours was "Better Together" by Jack Johnson, my DH says everything is better when we are together, his idea for the song

BakerBird525 · July 2015

"Baby, I Love Your Way" by Big Mountain (original by Peter Frampton). It was one of two songs we picked as 'our' songs early in our relationship. Took dancing lessons, but turns out the dance floor was much smaller than what we practiced on and, to me, it was a disaster because I was so thrown off, but DH handled it well and no one noticed. :-)

Schumerator · July 2015

Ours was I won't give up by Jason Mraz - but we danced to an acapella band version by "straight no chaser" - a great version of the song if you have never heard it!

Love everybody else's songs! All some of my favorites

mrsE2015 · July 2015

DH and I shared our first dance to thinking out loud the Boyce avenue version.

This is my favorite song!! And favorite version of it!

caseyw8784 · July 2015

DH and I danced to "Can't Help Falling In Love With You" by Elvis. Picking a song ended up being the hardest wedding thing for us to agree on...haha! I wanted a classic like Sinatra's "The Way You Look Tonight", he wanted something more original. Elvis was a compromise...

I love Straight No Chaser!!! especially since they're Hoosiers like myself

KristieA · July 2015

We danced to Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World"

Music was really important to us at our wedding and I still have all my playlists

that was the last song we danced to before we "disappeared"!

Tippy05 · July 2015

Ours was "Me and You" by Kenney Chesney.

mrstmoose · July 2015

We danced to You are the Best Thing by Ray LaMontagne. We wanted something that was not super popular and unique to us! I really wanted My Girl by the Temptations but that was vetoed by DH.

mittenlove86 · July 2015

Okay, so no one laugh, but our first dance was...."I Wanna Grow Old With You" by Adam Sandler, from the Wedding Singer movie

JLaVO888 · July 2015

When You Say Nothing at All sung by Alison Krauss

JLaVO888 · July 2015

Great feed btw. Gave me something to do, as I am now listing to the songs everyone listed.

abpl2014 · July 2015

Love this topic great idea! Our first dance song was Blake Shelton's song Mine Would Be You.

That was our cake cutting song!

dixie7701 · July 2015

Our first dance was "If I didn't have you" by Thompson Square, but my FAVORITE dance of the night was our last dance. We danced to "I've had the time of my life" by Bill Medley (Dirty Dancing Soundtrack) and it was amazing.

JLaVO888 · July 2015

Never tried doing this before but I am really needing something to do today (teacher summer problems) so I made a playlist of all the songs. Hope it works. Try clicking on the link. Will be editing shortly if this fails.

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-wioz6meO2ghjlP4vK9vK2cY7ZktdRSH

Edit: I did add just a few other favorites of mine. I'm open to requests if you would like to see another song on the list. haha

Also adding: *******Trigger Alert****** after every other song is an adorable yet possibly sensitive commercial for pampers for some reason...maybe because I called it The Bumb Playlist??? Just wanted to give a heads up.

abpl2014 · July 2015

@JLaVO888 that is fantastic what a good idea! It works! (I understand the teacher summer problems)

I already met with my kiddo that I am tutoring this summer, cleaned, came up with an awesome HFW of the day idea for next year, caught up on my guilty pleasure (The Bachelorette), and here I am...looking for something else to do. The weather is horrible today...windy, windy, windy, which doesn't help.

WinchestertoPittsburgh · July 2015

Awesome playlist!!!!!! Hooray!!!!!

TennisLove30 · July 2015

We danced to ""Oh Love" by Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood. I honestly wish I would have picked a different song. We should have danced to "Hold you in my arms" Ray Lamontagne. DH used to say he could hold me in his arms forever when we were dating.
