First Dance Songs

Imani, on June 27, 2022 at 11:00 AM Posted in Wedding Reception 0 35
We were back and forth with first dance songs and it took us some time to finally decide. We will be doing our first dance to Surface - So Fine. Are you doing a first dance? What is song choice? Was it easy for you all to decide?

    Lol fair enough. This might be a stupid question, but did you all dance to the entire song?

    We are about to have dance lesson #3 of 10 and our instructors recommended the song be about 1:30-ish. Of course, they said you can go longer than that, but that was their recommendation.

    I am definitely considering about 2 minutes max. I think 1:30 is more than enough time. What song are y’all doing the dance to?

    Nice! We did “Seasons” by For King & Country. It took us awhile to decide on ours. I chose it and ran it by my husband, but he didn’t really have strong opinions haha! I played it for him, he thought it sounded great, and said “if you really like it, let’s do it.” At first we wanted to do “Pluto Projector” by Rex Orange County, but we would have had to cut and merge the good parts together.

    We're doing Stand By Me by Ben E. King, it was super easy for us to decide, when we first started dating it was the only song FH new on guitar and he'd play it for me all the time, so it kind of became "our song"

    Thanks! Smiley smile


    Almost all of it (to my husband’s chagrin LOL). The DJ cut it off I think about 1 min before the end.

    Our first dance was Everything by Michael Buble. We listened to a handful of songs I picked out as possible options, and we both loved this one. Our last dance was Grow Old With You, as the first movie we watched together was The Wedding Singer.

    We are suck between two sons, but I think I’m going to choose growing old with you by restless road as my walking down the aisle song, and then Alexandra Kay This is what Love is will be out first dance song.
