I am to get married next year and need to try find a first dance song. I like all types of music and we dont have "our song" so need to start looking. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Nothing too cheezy and i am a fan of the golden oldies.
dire straits get your money for nothing and your chicks for free? 😀
Lonestar - Amazed
We went for Saturday Sun by Nick Drake.
Some friends of ours learnt a whole crazy dance routine (can't remember the song) which was funny for there first dance 🙂
I'm going to hell for this...
The Imperial March from Star Wars as the bride walks down the aisle.

F##k like a beast by wasp!
Went to a wedding recently where they had a Beetles cover band - 'Norwegian Wood' was the 1st song (turns out it's a waltz !)
Come on Eileen! 😉
Luminous Times by U2. It's on the flipside of the With or Without You single. Good piece.
Probably not advice as such since it was a very personal choice, but we 'scripted' our first 3
Something Changed - Pulp
Love is all Around - an acoustic version by REM it took all year to track down
Baby I love You - Ramones version
99 problems - JayZ
We did a deliberately cheesy one. Big Barry White's My first, my last, my everything 🙂
don't think we could have done a serious one...
Wedding song? Cheesey?
You Never Can Tell - Chuck Berry
...and then learn the exact twist routine from the film 😀
Chris Rea.... 'Road To Hell'....
We went for Its Only Natural by Crowded House. The start is great.
We went for 'Stuck on you' by Lionel Richtea.
But if we were getting married now, Take That's Greatest Day could be in with a shout
She wears it well ..Rod

Mel Carter, Hold Me Kiss Me. Its on the We Were Soldiers soundtrack, the bit when they have the pre-deployment party and Hal Moore get the news that they've been given the same name as Custer's regiment
How about Radiohead - Song for an exit. 🙂
We had one from the film Moulin Rouge.
No, not the "Can Can," think it's called "Come what may".
<removed, as it was the wrong thread>
mickasaki we actually had F*ck like a beast at our wedding and smack my bitch up and hardcore motherf*cker by ultraviolence. First dance was just like heaven by the cure.
best bit of the night (apart from the obvious bit)... drunken mother in law leaves, DJ puts on Hardcore motherf*cker, drunken mother in law suddenly turns up again and starts dancing because "it has a good beat" 🙂
'The Ship Song' by Nick Cave
come on you must have a song? Something must have happened to you both that was important and there was some music swimming around somewhere in the background?
anyways - loves theme, barry white
"You're the one for me Fatty" - Moressey (sp). IGMC.

and Gray - Tom Lehrer[/url]
We had 'Valentine Moon' by Sam Brown for our first dance song.
My favourite was 'Bring me sunshine' by Morecambe and Wise, which we used as we left the ceremony, complete with the dance. 😳
Have a listen to "Into My Arms" by Nick Cave
prodigy - smack my bitch up.
'One day like this', by elbow.
You can save 'Grounds for divorce' for another day.
We went with "Better" by Tom Baxter but it was a toss up with Paul Weller "You do something to me" I had loads that were vetoed for some reason 🙂
Iron Maiden-Bring your daughter to the slaughter
The Doors-The End
The unknown soldier
Morrissey - There is a light that never goes out
Billy Idol -White Wedding
Dan Hicks-How can I miss you (when you wont go away)
We had 8 bars of Wet Wet Wet's 'Love is all around you', after that it slowed down gradually (like a record player being switched off) a sample from a Meat Beat Manifesto record of a bloke screaming 'not this record' was played, it then crashed into Thomas Bangalter's 'So Much Love to give' at which point a few of our more mental friends had been primed to storm the dance floor and dance like things possessed
🙂
We played 'our song' (Moonman - Galaxia) at the end of the night
Mrs B and I had Al Green- Lets stay together for our first dance. I wanted Eminems classic 'If you don't like my s*it you can suck my d*ck. Mrs B wouldn't have it though.....
Strewth! - I thought the title was "Suggest me a [u]welding[/u] song" and it turns out to be some girly "Wedding Planner" nonsense.
Isn't this the sort of thing your intended decides and you just agree to? Hang on - this being the t'internet I [i]suppose[/i] you might actually be a girl. But in that case shouldn't you be posting on some kind of wedding forum or spending every last waking minute chatting to your giggly mates about it?
Shit! Sorry, my fault - I've just realised why a bloke might be posting on here. Your "wedding" is a Civil Ceremony isn't it? You're both blokes aren't you. Well fair play to you. In that case, anything by the "Pet Shop Boys" should be fine.
I'd best get back to my welding. Hope that helped.
"Harpoon" by Jebediah. 😉
white lines (don't do it)?
Nacy Sinatra "Bang Bang"

Ludacris - Ho's?
So you don't want anything corny huh? Howabout 'Dance with Me' for a [url= http://www.tcartermusic.com/products/dance_with_me ]first dance[/url]? 🙄 On a more serious note, 'Just What I Needed' by The Cars. 😆 maybe not golden oldies, but old enough?
Al green - lets stay together
