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.

    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

    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.

    Just DJ'd my first wedding - pretty good experience (it was for one of the two owners at the record store I work at).

    Groom and wedding party walked in to: "Love Walked In" by Ella Fitzgerald
    Bride and father walked in to: "The First Time I Ever Saw Your Face" by Roberta Flack
    During kiss and and entire wedding party exited to: "Let's Get It On" by Marvin Gaye
    First dance was to: "By Your Side" by Sade


    Deep beats and Deep Crates,

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