You may already have what you both consider to be “Our Song”; established for a variety of reasons. . . e.g.
~~ heard it everywhere on your first holiday together
~~ playing in the background when you got engaged
~~ was a pop hit when you first met
~~ favourite song by an artist you both really like
~~ etc
For many couples this is not the case and they are searching for that special song for their Big Day. The good news is that there is a wealth of music suitable for a First Dance; if you do a web search you may find yourself overwhelmed with lists.
That “perfect” song, reflecting your personal choice as a couple, will enhance your special day and bring back wonderful memories for years to come. Take time to make sure you both like the music and the message the song conveys. Be as traditional or unconventional as you like – this day is uniquely yours. Our recommendations are appropriate both in terms of rhythm and lyrics and represent only a very small number of the possibilities, but they’re a good starting point and will give you lots of ideas.
