What's your first dance song?

[Janet1480]

I agree with you both, its not about uniqueness to my guests or anyone else but more to myself really but at the end of the day Better Together is what i feel would be more appropriate but i have to find a compromise with FI...i'm just stubborn. I love the song Marry Me by Train but it doesnt have any "meaning" to Fi and I, if that makes sense and for my ceremony where i am going to express my love to him forever and him to me i thought that was where our song belonged. But thats just me. I dont think there is a right or wrong I'm not writing it off yet i just think there are other options for me

Another option I liked was Keith Urban's "Memories of Us" - which I think will be the last song we play while seating guests before the mothers get seated.  So in a sense it will be the song my fiance walks in with.

 

Janet1480 - I will be walking in to Train's "Marry Me".  I am sure it is not original and I am sure the resort staff have heard it a thousand times, but remember that unless your guests attend a lot of destination weddings they probably haven't heard it used (I have never heard a pop song played at a church wedding).  For me it is about what I like and what will be played on our wedding video, not what my guests think is unique.

and sorry if i was insulting anyone....i was strictly speaking for myself and my own wedding day. I wasnt trying to put anyone else's choices down.

Not to worry!!! I knew what you meant!!! I started to think Calla Lillies were over done (which is probably true) but I still love them and it is what I pictured so I think I am just going to go for it!  Everyone knows what is right for them and thats what is important!

I'm sure if we add everything up, its ALL overdone....LOL dresses, hair styles, cake, color choices ....there are always trends. I dont hate anything i just want my wedding to reflect and be unique to me and Fi I love Calla's as well...they always look so nice in pics too! I dont have my flowers designed yet...waiting for the designer to send me the sketches (cant wait) still so much to do and less then 3 months to go

Well, that's true..almost everything is overdone - but then again, how many people at your ceremony and reception are gonna be obsessed about wedding related stuff? It's overdone for us because we're very much into it now. Don't sweat it...

Our first dance song is you've got a way with me by Shania Twain and I'm still deciding on the ceremony songs, I'd like to incorporate Valentine by Kina Grannis and Kiss the Girl from little mermaid I LOVE that idea!

LOVE this one! I might play that in the background (instrumental) while we say our vows. Great choice!
