Don’t simply google “First Dance Songs” and settle with one you pick off of a list.  Find an artist that you and your fiance both enjoy and has meaning to you.  Maybe it was a song that was playing in the background of a romantic dinner you had or you find a song by the artist of the first concert you attended together.

One and Only by Teitur, is one of my favorite songs I recently heard at a wedding that the couple chose for their first dance.  It is a song that I had never heard before a month ago and now I would recommend it to anyone. It made me think outside of the typical first dance songs and encourage couples to do some research into artists they enjoy and find a song that represents them.  Sometimes we forget…there are no rules to a first dance song. It doesn’t have to have a certain beat or be by a certain singer!

I’ve been wishing on a star but I could never have imagined
I would land just where you are after all this lonesome traveling
Took one look in your eye, reach out to hold your hand
This is when I realized that I could never understand

Do you want to be my one and only love?
Do you want to be my one and only love?

So you wanna be my friend, so you wanna be my lover
With you I do confess I can’t be one without the other
That was hard for me to say, I hope I said it right
Which ever, come what may, you see I need to know tonight

Do you want to be my one and only love?
Do you want to be my one and only love?

Do you want to play these cards, do you want to lay them down?
DO you want to run away or do you want o stick around?

Do you want to be my one and only love?
Do you want to be my one and only love?

What songs have you heard that are not your typical wedding songs?

The age-old question by DJs at weddings is will your friends and family be subjected to the traditional circle dance – flapping your elbows in the air like chickens?  Some kids love it and some adults hate it.  As your guests gather around the dance floor what is going through their heads?

I admit I do enjoy the first stanza or two or the song, it is upbeat and everyone knows it! At least 1 minute into it I am ready to take a seat and usually by the end of the nearly three minute song I am heading for the bathroom to try to block it out. DJs today almost always check with the couple beforehand if they want this song to be played…I am curious to hear from all of you out there!  I want opinions from everyone…Brides…DJs…Wedding Coordinators…Friends and Family..

Do you dance your heart out to this song or do you loathe it?!
