The big day is approaching, all the invitations have been sent, and you have everything in place for your perfect celebration…all except, the first dance, you simply cannot agree on the perfect tune to take your first steps together as a married couple.
What to do!
Well, you could take inspiration from the movies, perhaps the theme from the first film you saw together (unless it’s wildly inappropriate…fingers crossed that your first date wasn’t SAW 6), or maybe you have a ‘your tune’ that might work?
Slow dance, something quicker, or a song that starts quietly and builds to a crescendo?
Disco Sensation? Rock Anthem? Classical Waltz or even a Quickstep?
On the subject of what our dad’s might call ‘proper dances’, have you considered dance lessons, or an organised group dance?
Whatever you choose, we are sure it will be perfect, and just for good luck here are a few suggestions from the Mandolay team (we have left out the names of who chose what…you will see why*).
- If I Ain’t Got You – Alicia Keys
- Perfect – Ed Sheeran & Beyoncé
- At Last – Etta James
- The Way You Look Tonight – Lots of performers, but we went with Ol’ Blue Eyes
- Can’t Take My Eyes Off You – Frankie Valli
- Come Rain or Come Shine – Ray Charles
- *Give it Up – KC and the Sunshine Band
- Never Let me Go – Florence + The Machine
Whether you choose the traditional ‘sway’ style, or something a little more rehearsed, it will be perfect for you, surrounded by the love and best wishes of family and friends, a wonderful start to the rest of your lives together.
