Getting Married Saturday - Need help with the 1st dance song

[LostHiWay]

The SO and myself are up in the air still as to what to play for a first song at the reception. We don't want anything really long or really sappy. What we've come up so far are:

Peter Gabriel - In your eyes
Cheap Trick - The Flame
Eric Clapton - Wonderful tonight
Pink Floyd - Wish you were here / also maybe Cofortably Numb.

What do you think?? Any other suggestions?

 

[TheoPetro]

"were not gonna take it" and have the dj replace "take" with "make"

 

[Zekial]

hit the road jack - ray charles?

🙂

 

[orakle]

Comfortably Numb and Wish You Were Here are awesome songs, but I don't know if I would put them as the first dance at my wedding.

 

[nakedfrog]

Man, this is a popular Saturday to get married!
No suggestions for you, though.

 

[Spoooon]

You could do Postal Service's Such Great Heights. I considered that one for mine.

 

[NoMoMoney]

Congrats, we used Jewel, What's Simple is True. Acoustic version sang/played by two good friends.

 

[iRONic]

Edwin McCain - I'll Be

 

[Homerboy]

those picks remind me more of prom.
Isn't there SOMETHING that is more meaningful just for you 2 guys?

Eric Claptop - Wonderful tonight

That was ours.

Wife cried the whole time.

 

[Fritzo]

I was at a wedding recently where they used Robert Plant's cover of "Song to the Siren". The song is so beautiful it brought tears to my eyes. I highly recommend you check it out.

 

[OpenThirdEye]

Anything by Dead Milk Men? 😉

 

[rbV5]

Our song was "True Colors" - Cindy Lauper

 

[BKLounger]

Frank Sinatra w/Celine Dion "All the way"

my buddy had it as his first song for his wedding.

Yeah, those might be weird for a wedding song. LOL

Edit: My wife and I danced to "Open Arms" by Journey.

 

[se7en]

Etta James - At last? I think thats the name of it. Good song not too mushy.

Big pimp Eric C. is always good too.

 

[spherrod]

we had 'Earth Angel' by Marvin Berry & the Starlighters 😉

difficult to know what to suggest as it's such a personal choice

 

[fLum0x]

open arms - journey!

We are actually considering this for our first dance in sept. 🙂

 

[StevenYoo]

U2: "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For"

ok but seriously: "Lady in Red" (even though she'll be in white)
Frank Sinatra - That's All
Adam Sandler - Grow Old With You (from The Wedding Singer)

 

[Flammable]

tears in heaven - eric clapton I THINK

 

[bigrash]

definitely Eric Clapton - Wonderful tonight

Punk Rock Girl would fit nicely.

eh, that song isn't really suitable for a wedding. It's more for a funeral, really.

I also recommend Journey - Faithfully

 

[KarmaPolice]

****** her Gently - Tenacious D
