Did you and your betrothed have a First Dance at your wedding celebration/reception? What song was it? Did you choose a song that had special meaning to you, or just one that you felt expressed the day and your feelings for each other very well? did you practice dancing to your song before the "first dance" as a married couple? Do you still like the song you chose?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My husband and I chose "Time in a Bottle" by Jim Croce. We liked the song, but it was not "Our Song" per se' we just thought that the lyrics had special meaning for the day. The band we had was really great, only they messed up THIS song really bad. ouch, it still hurts my ears to think of it!Here are the lyrics:
If I could save time in a bottle
The first thing that Id like to do
Is to save every day
Till eternity passes away
Just to spend them with you
If I could make days last forever
If words could make wishes come true
Id save every day like a treasure and then,
Again, I would spend them with you
But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do
Once you find them
Ive looked around enough to know
That youre the one I want to go
Through time with
If I had a box just for wishes
And dreams that had never come true
The box would be empty
Except for the memory
Of how they were answered by you
But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do
Once you find them
Ive looked around enough to know
That you're the one I want to go
Through time with

My wedding dance was to "Maybe I'm Amazed" by Paul McCartney. I picked it because it was the song that was playing on the radio the 1st time that my wife and I went out. I've been married 4 years now, and I am just as amazed by her now as I was before.

My husband and I did not have a dance at our wedding reception. But we did have a really great song played at the lighting of our unity candle.
It was the song "I Do", by Paul Brandt.
I still love this song very much and we have now been married for almost ten years now.
In fact I have it on my fine tune player on my myspace page. And when it comes on my husband and I will dance to it in our living room and my son will dance with his sister. I put the lyrics to mine below too! Hope that you enjoy them.
"I Do"
by: Paul Brandt'
I've seen the storm clouds in your past
But rest assured 'cause you are safe
At home at last
I rescued you, you rescued me
And we're right where we should be
When we're together
I know the questions in your mind
But go ahead and ask me one more time
You'll find the answer's still the same
it won't change from day to day
For worse or better
Chorus:
Will I promise to be your best friend
And am I here until the end
Can I be sure I have been waiting for you
And did I say my love is true
Baby I will, I am, I can, I have, I do
I know the time will disappear
But this love we're building on will always be here
No way that this is sinking sand
On this solid rock we'll stand forever
Chorus:
Will I promise to be your best friend
And am I here until the end
Can I be sure I have been waiting for you
And did I say my love is true
Baby I will, I am, I can, I have, I do
Baby I will, I am, I can, I have
Oh, I will, I am, I can, I have
Baby I will, I am, I can, I have, Ido

our first dance was "the way you look tonight". we danced to the song while it was being sang live by our reception host/emcee.
