83 Days

Before I tell you all about our first dance song, I figured I'd share some of my mad djing knowledge about first dance songs. Basically any song that has meaning to you and your fiance can be your first dance. Is it fast? Go for it! I would rather dance to a song that has meaning to my fiance and I then a song we just think works to fill the song card. My taste on first dance songs are more traditional, but here are just a few of my favorites:

I love the silent love you can feel radiating off of a couple during their first dance!

Two that are lovely and two of my favorites, but not our song:


Blessed the Broken Road - Rascal Flatts
"Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like Northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you."

Falling in Love With You - Elvis 
"Take my hand, take my whole life too
For I can't help falling in love with you"

Hopefully this doesn't happen to any of you!! ;)

Some other songs that I feel are lovely:


Always and Forever- Luther Vandross
"Take time to tell me you really care
And we'll share tomorrow together
Ooh baby, I'll always love you forever"
We've Only Just Begun - The Carpenters
"Talkin' it over just the two of us
Workin' together day to day, together."


The One - Elton John
"In the instant that you love someone 
In the second that the hammer hits
Reality runs up your spine
And the pieces finally fit."

Precious and Few - Climax
"Being with you is a feeling I just can't compare
And if I can't hold you in my arms, it just wouldn't be fair
'Cause precious and few are the moments we two can share."

At Last - Etta James
"At last, my love has come along
My lonely days are over
And life is like a song."

Could I Have This Dance - Anne Murray
"I'll always remember the song they were playin', 
The first time we danced and I knew,
As we swayed to the music and held to each other,I fell in love with you."

Amazed - Lonestar (the song I will forever associate with 6th grade dances!)
"I want to spend the rest of my life 
With you by my sideForever and ever."

 She's Everything - Brad Paisley
"She's the voice I love to hear
Someday when I'm ninety
She's that wooden rocking chair
I want rocking right beside me
Everyday that passes I only love her more"

So there is a short list, with some of my favorite passages from some of my favorite love songs. 


What is you and your fiance's first dance song? How did the two of you choose it?
