My Favourite First Dance Songs

The first dance is an iconic moment of any wedding. It's the moment that the bride and groom share a truly intimate moment, alone yet in front of all their guests.


The song they choose reflects their personalities, their relationship dynamic, and their love for one another.


So how do you choose the right song? One that you both like is a good place to start! One that speaks to you both. There's a lot of beautiful songs that speak of love, but some are rather overused in my opinion. Ed Sheeren is probably the best example. Don't get me wrong; I adore Thinking Out Loud! But so does *everyone else* so to me it's not special anymore.


So on that note, here are two lists for you! The first is a list of more cliché first dance songs that I like, and the second is a list of more alternate songs. Some are still romantic, but some are for a more specialist taste :p


More Cliché:

You're Still The One - Shania Twain

Your Song - Elton John

Can You Feel The Love Tonight - Elton John

Just The Way You Are - Bruno Mars

Rule The World - Take That

Hero - Enrique Iglesias

Stand By Me - Ben E. King

When You Say Nothing At All - Ronan Keating


Alternative:

One Slow Dance - Simple Plan

Perfectly Perfect - Simple Plan

Breathe - Angels And Airwaves

Spin Me Around - Patent Pending

The Reason - Hoobastank

Earth Angel - The Penguins

Rock Me Gently - Andy Kim

As Long As You Love Me - Backstreet Boys

At The Beginning - Richard Marx and Donna Lewis

First Day Of My Life - The Rasmus (very alternative!)
