I am getting married in september and just wandered what everyone had/would have for their first dance.  Me and OH cant agree on a song.  He cheekily said how about Chris Rea This is the road to hell lol.

Michelle

what about (if you want something abit differnt) that dirty dancing song? "now ive had the time of my life..now ive never felt this way before"
thats what id like (though no-one wants to marry me! :(  )

How about ''From This Moment''... Shania Twain...
The words are lovely....... :)
Gabrielle xx

Dirty Dancing Star Patrick Swaze is on the Isle of Man making a movie!!! Just thought I'd let you all know that.

I also got married on a September a while back :)
Our wedding dance was...........wait for it........Billy Idol's White Wedding!!
Well....it was the eighties!!

Gabrielle thats what I want, I agree the words are beautiful but OH doesnt like it :(, he wants a Nick Drake song that sounds awful.

Michelle

we had 2 eva cassidy songbird and david gray be mine, we both picked 1 each cause we couldnt decide awww

alix

Not very smoochy, but how about "Hold me close" by David Essex (swoon!)?

We had Lou Reed 'Perfect Day' :D

Lucy

We had the song from Robin Hood sung by Bryan Adams cant think of the title but it was number 1 for ages when we got married.  I can honestly say that ranks amongst one of those moments I would rather forget.  I am afraid me and my hubby dont do romantic. 

"If your not the one" by Daniel Beddingfield. My OH and I had a wee falling out and he sent me this song and I sat and cried for about an hour before I phoned him and told him to come home :D He's a romantic big plonker lol  :D :D :D He also gave me a copy of Darren Hayes "I miss you" Hmm no chance of us ever getting married tho :D  I'd have to get divorced first :D :D When I got married to my ex we had "Endless Love" by Lionel Ritchie and Diana Ross. We couldn't decide on a song as my ex wasn't particulary musical so the DJ that did our reception picked it. Hmmm wrong song I think :D

I got married last September, and our first dance was to 'I only have eyes for you' which was a re-make by Rod Stewart.  It's nice because it's not a REALLY slow dance, it has a lovely rhythm to it, and the words are beautiful.

WHAT ABOUT IF YOU DONT NO ME BY NOW BY SIMPLEY RED MY SISTER HAD THIS LAST YEAR AT HER WEDDING.

Im getting married next year and we are either having The Police, Every Breath u Take or Amazed by somebody, i think they are called Lone Star or something.

I got married last October and we had the Wedding Song by the Bee Gees and its my mothers and my fathers favorite song plus my aunts and uncs, so when we got up to dance, we then asked my parents and my aunt and unc to get up and join us.

Its a lovely song and the words mean so much too.

Sal

We had Unchained Melody ..... sung by Jimmy Young (yes - played on a wind-up gramaphone :D :D  )

Margot

We're having Van Morrison "Have I Told You Lately" - now I just have to worry about breaking in my shoes so they don't hurt and making sure I can dance properly in my dress!-not a meringue but still will be different! :)

What about " Jail house Rock" opps did I mention a prison sentence.  Only joking what about "Albatross" nice an slow incase you have had a little to drink.

Bazza

I'd have to have Stevie Wonder..isn't she lovely!!!! Thats my fav and its probably the one time I would look lovely! not a scruff!

Blondiflops love that to..

We had  Lionel Richie's Ballerina Girl I think the music to it is lovely.

Lyrics if you don't know it.

Ballerina girl you are so lovely
With you standing there
I'm so aware
Of how much I care for you
You are more than now
You are for always
I can see in you my dreams come true
Don't you ever go away

You make me feel like
There's nothing I can't do
And when I hold you
I only want to say I love you
Ballerina girl the joy you bring me
Every day and night
Holding you tight
How I've waited for your love

Sometimes I've wondered
If you'd ever come my way
Now that I've finally found you
This is where my heart will stay woah

Never gonna break your heart
Never will we drift apart

Also love Bryan Adam's, "Thought I'd died and gone to Heaven"
George Michael's "  Ican't make you love me".  ( although maybe not the best for the wedding ;-)

We had Van Morrison's 'Have I Told You Lately'.

RFLOL @ Bazza ! :D :D

Hum I dont remember what we had (yes it was that long ago). How about something instrumental, much less contriversal

Berlin- take my breath away, or if you like a bit of heavier stuff metallica- Nothing else matters!!

I'm getting married next April and we can't agree on a song.  My fiance suggested "It's the End of the World As We Know It".  That really isn't going to happen!

I quite like "Wherever You Will Go" by The Calling, although it's not ideal to dance to.  We'll probably end up with a Frank Sinatra number or something equally safe.

Saying that (sorry don't mean to hijack this thread), I'm not sure if a DJ is the right choice for us.  It's going to be quite a traditional wedding and my mother's quite keen for us to have classical music of some kind.  Obviously not a full orchestra, that would be a bit OTT, but perhaps a string quartet or similar.  I'd love to hear the opinions of the other people on here planning a wedding (actually, anyone's opinion would be appreciated).

M-C

P.S. While I agree that "Every Breath You Take" is a beautiful song, isn't it about a psycho stalking his ex?  Just a thought!

Ooh hooray! Someone else who thinks 'Every Breath You Take' is creepy and stalker-ish? Is that what it was really about? I thought I was being paranoid reading that message into the song. :o

I agree every breath you take a bit stalker-ish.  We had every cd in the house out last night and have narrowed it down to a David Gray tune or a Simply Red tune, so at least we are getting there lol.  Thanks for everyones input.

Michelle :)

Yep, Every Breath You Take is definitely about stalking an ex!  And Perfect Day is allegedly about taking drugs (sorry Lucy!).  But both are brilliant songs :D

Lesley

I get married this april and hadn't even thought of a song, i guess i had better get my thinking cap on only 2 and half weeks to go.

we had always and forever

what about 'we've only just begun' by the Carpenters?

S

Or how about D J Sammy, heaven (candlelight version), it really is a beautiful song, think it is a re-make of a bryan adams hit or Paul Weller , you do something to me.

That advert about getting stalked really spoilt the song!! I think its about caring for somebody and watching everything they do and being there for them. Dont care who disagrees i love it.

He did write it about stalking an ex though!!  I watched a programme the other week and one of his bandmates from Police was saying that they all had such a good laugh when it became a slushy number as it was never meant to be!!

My Sister had Somebody by Depeche Mode played at her wedding:

I want somebody to share
Share the rest of my life
Share my innermost thoughts
Know my intimate details
Someone who'll stand by my side
And give me support
And in return
She'll get my support
She will listen to me
When I want to speak
About the world we live in
And life in general
Though my views may be wrong
They may even be perverted
She'll hear me out
And won't easily be converted
To my way of thinking
In fact she'll often disagree
But at the end of it all
She will understand me

I want somebody who cares
For me passionately
With every thought and
With every breath
Someone who'll help me see things
In a different light
All the things I detest
I will almost like
I don't want to be tied
To anyone's strings
I'm carefully trying to steer clear of
Those things
But when I'm asleep
I want somebody
Who will put their arms around me
And kiss me tenderly
Though things like this
Make me sick
In a case like this
I'll get away with it

I think its a nice song!!

we had 'By your side by sade'
Only been married 18mths but dont time fly? We also had My girl in church

Donna and charliex

I'm having Al Green - Let's Stay Together.  That's if we have a first dance, I'm going to try and avoid it if at all possible!
