Ahh, the first dance. One of my favorite moments of any wedding. It’s your first time being in the limelight as an officially married couple, and all eyes are on you and your new spouse. But let’s face it - choosing the song you’ll be dancing to can be very confusing and sometimes overwhelming. You might be sitting there thinking, “There are SOOO many great love songs out there, how are we supposed to choose the right one to perfectly capture OUR love?” So I’ve compiled a small list of the songs I think are perfect to dance to! So let’s jump on in!
1. Songbird by Eva Cassidy
Excerpt: For you, there'll be no more crying
For you, the sun will be shining
And I feel that when I'm with you
It's alright, I know it's right
2. If We Were Vampires by Jason Isbell
Excerpt: If we were vampires and death was a joke
We'd go out on the sidewalk and smoke
And laugh at all the lovers and their plans
I wouldn't feel the need to hold your hand
Maybe time running out is a gift
3. Take This Heart of Gold by Mandolin Orange
Excerpt: I'm treading lightly in your eyes
Honey, I can't live a lie
But a life without you could never steal me now
4. Make You Feel My Love by Adele
Excerpt: When the evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one there to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love
5. Signed, Sealed, Delivered by Stevie Wonder
Excerpt: Seen a lot of things in this old world
When I touch them, they mean nothing, girl
Ooh baby, here I am, signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours!
6. You’ve Made Me So Very Happy by Blood, Sweat, and Tears
Excerpt: I love you so much it seems
You're even in my dreams I can hear
Babe I can hear you calling me
I'm so in love with you
All I ever want to do is
Thank you baby
7. Is That Alright by Lady Gaga
Excerpt: I hope you're still with me when I'm not quite myself
And I pray that you'll lift me when you know I need help
It's a warm celebration of all of our years
I dream of our story, of our fairy tale
8.At Last by Etta James
Excerpt: You smiled, you smiled
Oh, and then the spell was cast
And here we are in Heaven
For you are mine at last
9. Ain’t No Mountain High Enough by Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell
Excerpt: Remember the day I set you free
I told you, you could always count on me, darling
And from that day on I made a vow
I'll be there when you want me some way, some how
10. Stand By Me by Ben E. King
Excerpt: If the sky, that we look upon, should tumble and fall
Or the mountains, should crumble, to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry, no-no-no I won't shed a tear
Just as long, as you stand, by me
11. I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing by Aerosmith
Excerpt: Then I kiss your eyes
And thank God we're together
And I just want to stay with you
In this moment forever
Forever and ever
12. Forever and Ever, Amen by Randy Travis
Excerpt: As long as old men sit and talk about the weather
As long as old women sit and talk about old men
If you wonder how long I'll be faithful
I'll be happy to tell you again
I'm gonna love you forever and ever
Forever and ever, amen
That rounds out the list of my top 12 songs to dance with your love to.
