Reception Music - The First Dance

Ah the ever important first dance song. For some this could be a very easy choice if you have "your song." For us it isn't as easy, we don't have A song per say we have LOTS of songs! How to choose, how to choose...

Here are some of my personal favorite song choices for the first dance:

Someone Like You - Van Morrison
That's How Strong My Love Is - Otis Redding
I'm in Love - Wilson Pickett
You Send Me - Sam Cooke
Crazy Love - Van Morrison (sorry to be repetitive but we love Van Morrison)
Have a Little Faith in Me - Joe Cocker

Here are some other good choices:

It Feels Like Home - Chantal Kreviazuk
The Way I Am - Ingrid Michaelson
First Day of My Life - Bright Eyes
Here Comes the Sun - Nina Simone
Northern Sky -Nick Drake
Heavenly Day - Patti Griffin (my fiance would never go for this but it is such a pretty song, listen above.)

Please share what you picked for your first dance song!

We got married last September and danced to "Look After You" by The Fray.

It was different, but we loved it!

We are dancing to "Meet Me By The Water" by Rachel Yamagata. I find myself humming along to it constantly!

I also love "Nine Million Bicycles" but That Groom vetoed it so it was a no go.

We also didn't have any significant song between the two of us, so it was fun to through my collection and find one that worked!

My husband and I danced to Little Trip to Heaven by Tom Waits. We have lots of songs too, so it was a hard choice.

I love the feels like home by chantal kreviazuk- I don't think FI would go for that one though!

crazy, I'm considering "thats how strong my love is"- but the creation version... not Otis Redding.
I love them both but the creation is a bit more raw.
