Ideas for songs for the first dance...

We are starting to think of what song to use and are kind of stuck. Any ideas?

Re: Ideas for songs for the first dance...

we went with something sweet but not too sappy - it's a song by billy joel called "you're my home". it's been "our song" for a long time. it's not really a typical slow dance, but the words are fantastic and meaningful for us.

i think picking a first song is a very individual choice. some people want a classic love song, others want a song that has sentimental value, and others want a recent, new song to celebrate beginning a new life together. so it really depends what kind of feel you are looking for...

Re: Ideas for songs for the first dance...

Well I definitely don't want a new song and I don't want a classic song that a lot of people have done before. Just want a nice song with nice words. I wouldn't even mind if it wasn't the traditional slow type of song. Any good country love songs? I love songs where its both a guy and girl singing for different parts. Is anything about planning a wedding easy?

Re: Ideas for songs for the first dance...

So some duets that are nice...Faith Hill and Tim McGraw..It's your Love. Let's Make Love. Older songs: If You Say My Eyes are Beautiful-Whitney Houston and Germain Jackson. Finally Found Someone-Barbra Streisand and Bryan Adams I think..These are some of my favs.

Re: Ideas for songs for the first dance...

our song was called "Have a Little Faith in Me" and is written and performed by John Hiatt, but has been covered be a few artists. The words really mean alot to us.

We were also considering "Keeper of the Stars" by Tracy Byrd (a country song)

another country song would be "Me & You" by Kenny Chesney
