We had "I swear" by some boy band I don't know the name of, a cheesey classic that Mrs-g, or Miss-soon-to-be-g I suppose she was chose.
Grounds for Divorce - Elbow.
We had Newton Faulkner's acoustic cover of 'Teardrop' by Massive Attack.
[i]"Love; Love is a verb, Love is a doing word." [/i]
My mate played bass on the 'B' side of that single. Jazzer Rowson - a talented man.adamant that his first dance was going to be 'the birdy song'
We chose - I Love You Because You Understand Me - Jim Reeves, slow dance lyrics with real meaning.
We got up to dance and the DJ announced the song we had chosen followed by the words 'But I haven't got that one so here's the Power of Love by Jennifer Rush'
One very unhappy pair of newlyweds.
It was 1985 but Jennifer Rush was the worst of the three Power of Love songs released that year, and he only had to ask and we could have lent him our copy of 'I love you because'.
We had Love Walked In by Thunder, and we were both absolutely steaming by the time we got round to doing the first dance. Cracking night that, from what I can recall. Getting your friendly local to host your reception is the way forward. Didn't cost us a penny, and they even got a local brewery to do us a special ale.
"Scarborough Fair" for us, for some convoluted stereo-fail related reason. It was as bad as it sounds.
+1 for the ceilidh approach. We had a Circassian Circle, so [b]everyone[/b] was on the floor for the first dance. More fun than watching two people shuffling round on their own.
Lottery Winners on Acid - The Crimea
Think it makes more sense if you listen to the lyrics.
Like others, we didn't really fancy the attention of a first dance, so after a ceilidh, we just slipped it into the playlist and it was the first song we danced together to, after legging it to the dance floor from different parts of the building to find each other.
Miracle by foo fighters. Little known but awesome song...
Mrs Tyred and I have been together for 20 years and have two kids but we've never got married because we can't agree on what the first song would be.
I want Cave Bitch by Ice Cube, it's a deal-breaker for me.
No Cave Bitch, no wedding.
Figure it's saved me a fortune, every year.
We had the "You and Me Song" by The Wannadies
Combination of shuffling and pogo-ing.
Ace. nearly 15 years ago and everytime I hear it I smile.
My brother in law had It Takes Two - Rob Base. Good call!
