A Cultured Event: Wedding Playlist Part 2 {First Dance}

Ah...the first dance. It will be the first time you will dance as a newly married couple. Hand to hand, cheek to cheek... this moment will probably be the only moment, aside from saying 'I do' you will both share that will solidify, YOU ARE MARRIED!

So what's in a song? If you have a song that you both love and best represents the love you share, then by all means use it! For those who don't or maybe never thought about it until now, don't worry - there are plenty of songs out there that you and your fiance can relate to. If you have to think of any song for this night, make it this one. It is the 'soundtrack' to your marriage.

First off, when you choose a song... make sure you want it for all the right reasons. Not because it is a popular song. You should fall in love with it like you fell in love with your soon to-be husband or wife. If it's a song that is unconventional, then use it! It's your song, there is no right or wrong.

My first dance song can be viewed as unconventional, The Rolling Stones - Wild Horses. This song chose us, it was the first song we both danced to long before we fell in love. Through our courtship we referred that song as ours, naturally is it was our first dance and still is our song. I don't think I have met anyone else with the same song.

Remember, as much as you would love to dance through the entire length of the song - your guests won't. Save the whole 4-5 minutes for the privacy of your own home. Instead, keep it under 3 minutes tops and have your DJ slowly fade out so it's not an abrupt stop.
