The couple’s first dance is a long-standing tradition and finding the perfect song may or may not be so easy. You might have a song that you first kissed to, or a song that you first slow danced to at a party. But your first dance song does not have to reflect who you were when you first dated, but perhaps a song that represents where you are both heading. If you don’t have a song yet, here’s a selection of popular songs for inspiration, classics to modern, in no particular order.
Thinking Out Loud – Ed Sheeran
You Are The Reason – Calum Scott featuring Leona Lewis
A Thousand Years – Christina Perri
The Way You Look Tonight – Frank Sinatra
First Day Of My Life – Bright Eyes
How Long Will I Love You – Ellie Goulding
Always Remember Us This Way – Lady Gaga
My husband and I danced to Corinne Bailey Rae’s “Like A Star” at our wedding last year. For me, it was a song I always loved and had hoped that one day I would know the feelings she expressed in those lyrics. And I finally did. 🙂
When choosing a song, remember that you and your future spouse have a unique relationship. Make your first dance even more special with a song that is uniquely you.
