A wedding is a time for family and friends to come together and create moments that will be remembered forever. One of the most important opportunities for this is the First Dance for the Bride and Groom. Over the years, I\u2019ve learned that there are some important things to consider when choosing a first dance.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Meaning<\/h3>

Be sure that your first dance has a special meaning to you and your fianc\u00e9. This can be a special lyric of the song that strikes your heart. Or, the song may reflect back to an important time in your life. The time when you and your loved one first met, the time and circumstance of the marriage proposal, a special date or occasion. Often times, couples will go off the beaten path and choose a song that is not popular or well known. That\u2019s just fine because the first dance is about you and your fianc\u00e9, not for everyone else to recognize. It\u2019s okay to choose a classic song or one that is relatively obscure. Just make sure the song is relevant to your experience and relationship. At the end of the day choose a song that connects the two of you and you\u2019ll remember it for years to come.<\/p>

Versions<\/h3>

Some popular songs have been performed and recorded by many different artists. Be sure that you clearly communicate which artist and recording you\u2019d like to the band. For instance, \u201cThe Way You Look Tonight\u201d was probably most famously performed by Frank Sinatra. However, that version is very different from Billie Holliday\u2019s recording. Be specific, so that you hear the version of the song you expect at the reception.<\/p>

Suggestions<\/h3>

Below is a list of popular first dance songs that I\u2019ve performed over my career. This list is just a starting point \u2013 something to get you pointed in the right direction. Hopefully, this list will be helpful to you and your fianc\u00e9.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
