The first dance at a wedding is everything. It’s your first official act as man and wife. Everything is set, the ceremony was perfect, you got the wedding band from www.GigMama.com and they are great. They did a bang up job during the introductions but now it’s time to slow it down from the funky pulse of the introduction music to the slow groove of the first song.
The song played at the first dance is also known as the bride and groom‘s song. That’s pretty important so it better be a great song that will melt the hearts of all the guests.
Here are five amazingly powerful songs:
1.My Love by Paul McCartney & Wings
“And when I go away
I know my heart can stay with my love
It’s understood, it’s in the hands of my love
And my love does it good
And when the cupboard’s bare
I’ll still find somethin’ there with my love
It’s understood, it’s everywhere with my love
And my love does it good”
2. The Way You Look Tonight by Tony Bennett
“Someday when I’m awfully low
When the world is cold
I feel a glow just thinking of you
And the way you look tonight.
Oh, but you’re lovely with your smile so warm
And your cheek so soft
There is nothing for me to love you
And the way you look tonight”
3. Can You Feel the Love Tonight by Elton John
Lyrics include:
“And can you feel the love tonight
It is where we are
It’s enough for this wide-eyed wanderer
That we got this far
And can you feel the love tonight
How it’s laid to rest
It’s enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best”
4. I Can’t Help Falling In Love With You by Elvis Presley
“Wise men say only fools rush in
But I can’t help falling in love with you
Shall I stay
Would it be a sin
If I can’t help falling in love with you
Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand, take my whole life too
For I can’t help falling in love with you
For I can’t help falling in love with you”
5.Endless Love by Lionel Richie
“My love,
There’s only you in my life
The only thing that’s bright
My first love,
You’re every breath that I take
You’re every step I make”
There may be no more romantic a moment in your wedding than your first dance. It’s significance cannot be underestimated. Make sure it’s personal and loving. Make sure the band knows it inside and out. Make sure, when you’re dancing that first dance with your new spouse, that you take it all in and make a memory that will last forever.
