So I'm getting married in exactly a week. I'm wondering what y'all had as your first song. Mine is "Your Song" by Elton John. Much love to my married strutters...gNAT

    Not married nor do I plan to get married anytime soon ...but if I were "Sea Of Love" by Phil Phillips. When I DJ weddings this one always comes along.

    The last wedding I DJ'd, the First Dance was "My Best Friend" by Tim McGraw followed by "Sweet Baby James" by James Taylor. NOT a hipster wedding.

    I got hitched in Vegas, so no first dance. The first song on our mix CD was "Move Me No Mountain" by Love Unlimited, which we played in our suite for the reception.

  • when that special day comes it will be "The Day You're Mine" by Big Daddy Kane

    always & forever was our 1st dance...
    nothing but oldies at our shit, no lame money dance crap or none of that shit, just oldies & a fat mariachi band, at a lil chill spot on olympic blvd in beautiful east LA... seems like just yesterday

    peace

  • mariachi band

    DOPE. fuckin classy move. a steel drum band or barbershop quartet would also be fresh.

    We danced to Make it Good to Me by Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings. Fortunately, I don't think any of the guests listened to the lyrics close enough to realize that it's a song about cheating.

  • Etta James - At Last

  • Etta James - At Last

    Gahdammit, that's what I was going to say. My better half tied one on this weekend, so I took advantage and got her to agree that we would come down the aisle to I Put a Spell on You. We'll see how that holds up on sober reflection though.

    My wedding:
    Louis Armstrong - Be My Life's Companion ...followed by...
    Norah Jones - Come Away With Me


    The wedding I'm DJing in a month:
    Rascal Flatts - Bless The Broken Road

    Just more proof that it takes all types...or so people keep telling me.

    If and when mine is going to be "Baby" by Gal Costa (and yes I understand the lyrics).

    The wedding I played last night (yawn) wanted an Allison Krauss song as their first. The last one I did used "At Last" by Etta James.

    Nice one! If that doesn't work, tell her that she said her alternate choice was Arthur Brown's "Fire".
