Most likely the song that you danced with your spouse to on your wedding day.


Could be a song you walked down the aisle to as well.

On March 21st, 1981 for me and my wife it was "Keep On Loving You" by REO Speedwagon.

"This Never Happened Before," a relatively obscure Paul McCartney song for our wedding in April 2007.

The live band hired (by recommendation) couldn’t play our preferred song(s) after they said no problem. Too late to change.:? They were catering to 200 guests many of whom were older as was okay because all. apparently, had a great time. After a management mixup, our wedding was the first and last in a night club that was quickly completed just days before we had our earlier reserved reception. That said we (I) overlooked a possible recording. I was the groom and, as you hubbys and former grooms know, that’s way down on the list. :lol:
Nuff said. :roll:

I did move it up a notch though by sitting in on the drums, and then (like Sinatra) I did it my way. :lol:

Ain't it the truth. Weddings are all about the brides (and the mothers of the brides). My wedding day was beautiful but my memories of the reception are mostly of making small talk with the guests and posing for pictures. I remember having a sore face from smiling for all the photos. And neither my wife or I got a chance to even sit down and eat. We actually ordered sandwiches afterward from a nearby sub shop because we were so hungry! :)

Different generation in 2013 at my son's wedding when he and his bride danced
to a song called 'Man and Wife' by Michelle Feathersone.

That sounds so familiar. There should be a hubby’s frat club. :P I was lucky, the caterers discovered I was starving so they grabbed me, set up a table and chair in the kitchen, and dished me in until I couldn’t eat anymore. Sounded like a party was happening on the other side of the door. :lol: Later we drove past an A&W in a decorated car. That music rocked. :wink:

Some songs that my band had to learn through the years for "first dances" :

All My Love - Led Zeppelin
Unchained Melody - Righteous Brothers
Adore - Prince
Someone Like You - Van Morrison
Keeper of the Stars - Tracy Byrd
You Are So Beautiful - Joe Cocker
Wonderful Tonight - Eric Clapton
Green Eyes - Coldplay
All I Want Is You - U2
Summer Wind - Frank Sinatra

Sometimes you wonder why a couple chose a song. One of the most played that
I've ever done is a country song called "Cross My Heart" by George Strait.

I'm listening to to this track right now on Youtube and trying to picture it as a wedding song. Atypical for sure, but...it kind of works for a slow dance...

After I kissed the bride we walked out to:
Oh, What A Wonder You Are by Phil Keaggy.

Nice song, Matt. I had to re-read your post. At first I thought it said, “Oh, I Wonder Who You Are”. :lol:

We took the coward's way out and eloped to Las Vegas back in '77, wedding at one of the myriad of commercial chapels on The Strip. While I remember some traditional wedding music piped in via Bose, we were also serenaded at the end of the ceremony by a portly Elvis impersonator who belted out a barely-recognizable rendition of "It's Now Or Never". When he threatened an encore with "You Ain't Nothin' But A Hound Dog" I tipped him five bucks and told him to amscray! We later learned he was the minister's brother-in-law.
