I've been wondering about other couple's 1st dance song and what influenced you to pick THAT song? I mean for us, when we 1st starting dating, DH and I were watching Napeleon Dynamite and there's a part at the end when they're at the dance and in the back ground they are playing Cindy Lauper's Time After Time. And we've always made of it and think it's so cheesy. DH found Quietdrive's version of it and low and behold THAT'S what we used for our 1st dance song!!! It has such meaning and history behind it and everytime we hear it we turn into such cheesies!!! It's even each other's ringers for each other on our cell phones! :p

So what was/is your 1st dance song? and why'd you end up picking it?

I've got two stories:

First, our first dance song is "You're All I Need To Get By" and we chose it for a variety of reasons.  First of all, it's a duet.  I loved the symbolism of our song being a duet.  Second, it's a motown hit, and our wedding was in Detroit.  Third, it's a song that connects to history.  Being a motown song, our parents know the song well.  I liked the idea that it connected us to generations that came before us.  Fourth, there's a lyric that goes "We got the right foundation, and with love and determination, you're all I need to get by."  I love the fact that the song acknowledges that love alone is not enough -- the the song isn't just about love; it's about marriage.

Another song that wasn't a first dance song but was prominently featured in our wedding -- we used it as background music on our website and the wedding party was introduced to it --  is a song by an artist named Jamie Collum, and it's called "Get Your Way."  It's a song about the games people play with eachother when they're dating.  The chorus goes "What game shall we play today? How about the one where you don't get your way?  But even if you do, it's okay."  We have a long-running joke about how I always get my way, but it's okay with him.

That song, Get Your Way, opens with the lyrics "Dinner at Eight, That sounds fine."  My ring is inscribed with "Dinner at 8" and his reads "That sounds fine."  It's a little reminder to make time for one another.

Those are all great stories and choices!  My wedding is still over a year away, but right now I am thinking about using "Could Not Ask For More" by Edwin Mccain.  But I will probably change my mind before then.

Our first dance song was Always and Forever by Heatwave.  It was the first song we ever danced to so it just seemed fitting to be our first dance song.  The first dance song after dinner was When I said I do by Clint Black.  The lyrics say everything about our marriage.
