If Michael Buble or Nat King Cole aren’t on your playlists, chances are you may be looking for a first-dance song that’s a little less traditional for your wedding reception.
Couples considering a song that’s a little different and speaks to them but won’t necessarily offend the wedding purists in attendance, might want to consider the following tunes (click the links to have a listen):

March 1, 2012 at 2:27 pm (8 years ago)Our song is Long Trip Alone by Dierks Bentley. When my fiance and I had only been dating for a month that song came on his ipod and he looked at me and said “One day we are going to get married. And this is going to be our song.” And now here we are 4 years later 🙂

Most likey our first one will be ‘ A Thousand Years ‘ by christina perri, just because its relates to my fiance and I so much, because we went to high school together and I had such a big crush on him, and then 4-5 years later we got together and now 8-9 years later we are getting married. The second one with the wedding party is going to be ‘ God gave me you ‘ By Blake Shelton, again because its such a great song, and works for us. Just love the both of them !

When we were first friends, we had a random conversation about “old songs” from our parents’ time and we both really liked this song, and thought it was cool that someone other than ourselves knew of its existence.

March 17, 2012 at 8:21 am (8 years ago)We are having a movie themed wedding so we are doing a medley of classic movie songs, along with the dance for it. For example, my fiancee will start with the famous Risky Business scene where tom cruise dances in his underwear (no my fiancee will not be in his underwear) and so on. We will finish with wanna grow old with you from the wedding singer.
