What is a good “first dance” song at a wedding? (Genre doesn't matter)?

[Anonymous]

We have been searching for forever and we have no special song together. The most beautiful songs we like are always about breakups (and mentioned in the lyrics).

Do you know a beautiful song to inspire us? Final decision will be ours ofcourse :)

My wife and I danced to She's Everything by Brad Paisley...

Simply The Best by Tina Turner is another good one...

And a most excellent song from a most excellent, most triumphant movie, a song called In Time by this dude Robbie Robb...

From Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure!

"The Way You Look Tonight", by Tony Bennett, Frank Sinatra and few (thousand) others. That was the father/daughter dance at my younger daughter's wedding, also obviously great for The Couple! Great tune, great song, great history, and they do NOT break up!

Trivia: Jerome Kern tune. Sung in Movie "Swing Time", by Fred Astaire (not knowing not knowing the object of his adoration was sneaking up behind him, her hair all covered in shampoo lather)- - - cute scene).

Have never thought about it, I find it fascinating that most girls like to fantasize about all these things.

My dream wedding is - Just me and my future husband together on an island, Bali or Thailand - getting married without telling anyone.

It’s such an intimate event, I wouldn’t like it to be anybody else’s but our memory.

Maybe we could take two strangers from the beach to be our bridesmaid and what is the name of groom’s best friend?

I know if I got married, I would definitely have this song as my wedding song:

That’s hilarious, the all commercial came up instead of this song 😂😂: https://youtu.be/rtOvBOTyX00

Michael Longcor's "Eternity's waltz" would be a solid choice, but it could come across as kind of one-sided at first listen. Depending on your personalities, his "Building Fires" might also work; it's very much a song about love, but not romantic love, so maybe not. If you're a bit more upbeat in temperament, Offenbach's "Infernal Galop" would be good, but that may be better as an "opening up the dance floor" number.

Why not just tell them "can-can" so they don't waste a day looking for it. ;- )

[NamerOfStars]

@Massageman Because that's a dance, not a song. And a dance that has very little to do with what the song's about.
