One of my friends bizarely left it up to the DJ to choose - maybe they couldn't decide. Either in ignorance (possible we are talking an 80's wedding DJ) or malevolence he chose "Band of Gold" - well...it's about a wedding ring innit?
Oh how we laughed (sort of).

We got married 4 weeks ago, first dance was to Elbow - One day like this but then the DJ put Adele - Someone like you on. Sort of brought the atmos down! Had a cailidh band who took over then until later.
The DJ was a bit of dick, someone asked him for take that later so he put about 6 songs on in a row then did the same with lady gaga, don't use Dereks Disco from Bury!
Enjoy the day, it flies past in a bit of a blur!

Got married 3 weeks ago. I hate dancing at the best of times, and the thought of doing it with everyone I know watching appealed even less, so we ditched the idea and just let everyone get on with it.
Having spoken to other people who've spent the whole of their wedding meal worrying about the first dance, I'm now determined that this was the right answer.
As it turns out, the band insisted on us doing an impromptu last dance, but everything was rathre more relaxed by that stage.
By the same logic, do your speeches early, then you can get on with enjoying yourself

Good plan pdw, I may copy. Neither of us wants to do it and the only reason I get given for keeping it in is because 'people expect it'. I can't find any songs I like although we did think about Queen's 'Fat Bottomed Girl' for a day or two

We didn't do ours 'first' either, it was about halfway through the night. Decided it was about time to get it over with while we could still dance
If you think the grannies can handle it I would love someone to use "F### Her Gently" by Tenacious D

Er, why? You just put your arms round each other, sway a bit and gaze longingly... what's to worry about?

That's one argument.
Another argument, which we found more convincing was this: "It's the most
expensiveimportant day of your lives. Do whateverTF you want."spent the whole of their wedding meal worrying about the first dance

I think it was a girl thing.

If you are going to do the first dance and take it seriously then learn / practice something. A bit of waltz or tango or salsa. Just a few basic steps is all you need.
Or do the thing where after a few bars you both go and get another guest to dance with and then repeat until everyone is dancing

We had "Never can tell" by Chuck Berry a la Pulp Fiction.
