Wedding Song: What song did you pick for your first dance?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

[RebelOne]

1. Wedding? Wedding dance?

I didn't have a wedding. I eloped and was married by a justice of the peace in Georgia.

[PRETZEL]

2. Too many years ago,

but it was either Heatwave's "Always and Forever" or Larry Graham's "One in a Million You"

[AngryAmish]

3. Stranglehold

[fizzgig]

4. nobody's baby now by nick cave

[gratuitous]

5. If it ever happens . . .

"Love of Mine" by Stuff. And if you know that song or group, you're a friend of mine.

6. I'm a musician, I've done hundreds of weddings, and at our wedding 21 years ago I had

two jazz guitarists, very little dancing, and a fairly brief affair.

We wanted to get to the afterparty!

The afterparty, where we commandeered a local restaurant and pub, and did dinner, drinks and dance-based stupidity until the wee hours. My sis was a local hotel manager, and found a local restaurant to host 40+ people for after-hours dinner and debauchery. It was almost Arthurian - huge table, flowing drink, crazy-attentive waitstaff, table dancing. We crashed at about 3:30 (we had to catch a 7:30 flight to Bermuda), and when we headed out at 6:30 a.m., the remnants of the afterparty (about 20 or so) were still going strong in one of the hotel suites.

15. You don't have to have a "production" to have a first dance....

ya know?

[Brickbat]

16. Oh, for me, a dance is a production.

:)

[blueamy66]

23. Yeah, probably for my fiance as well.

I may have to pay him to dance with me. :-)

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

8. Didn't have a wedding dance.

Just a sedate reception in the church basement. Which was fine with me; I can't dance, and neither could my now-ex.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

19. congratulations to you and Lisa!!

I am sure it will be a lovely affair :hug:

now remember I got married a LONG time ago. The first one was quite a bash, the second one was JOP with strangers for witnesses.

The first dance was to (gah) Bill Medley & Jennifer Warnes - Time Of My Life

and then it went straight to (this is when other couples joined on the dance floor) Two Tickets To Paradise - Eddie Money (gah, again!)

18. Unforgettable by Nat and Natalie Cole.

We treated it like a decoration rather than an intensely personal song. It was really lovely to dance with her to it.

[seaglass]

20. First Time Ever I Saw Your Face. It was from me to my husband.

Before the soap/shower commercial.

[cbayer]

21. Santana's Europa (Earth's Cry, Heaven's Smile)

Super sexy and still makes me cry with joy when I hear it.

[BrendaBrick]

22. Celebration - Kool & The Gang

[OmahaBlueDog]

24. "Up Where We Belong" from the movie "An Officer and a Gentleman"

That movie was one of our first outings as a couple, so it was a sentimental choice. I don't regret it being our first dance song, but if I had a do-over, I'd have selected "You're Looking Like Love to Me" by Roberta Flack and Peabo Bryson.

[mcctatas]

26. first of all, CONGRATULATIONS!!!

We chose 'Warm Love' by Van Morrison because my husband sang it to me one drunken night when he realized he was in love with me and it makes me smile :)

[rbnyc]

27. A kiss to build a dream on...

...but I didn't get to dance.

[guitar man]

28. Sir Mix-A-Lot

Baby's Got Back :P

[Mad_Dem_X]

29. "Luna" by Smashing Pumpkins

My husband picked it. We also walked into the reception to the intro music of "Tonight Tonight."

[Missy Vixen]

31. True Companion, Marc Cohn n/t

[femmocrat]

32. We didn't have a wedding dance.

Weddings were much simpler long ago.
