Top Songs Played for the First Dance

For me one of the best parts of a wedding is seeing the bride and groom take to the floor for the first dance. I was wondering which are the top played songs and here is the list.engagement pic.jpg

    Hey,
    This was not my first dance song but I just thought in my mind it would be so cute to use…

    Have you heard “When I take Your Hand”? This song is one of the finest wedding songs. Another new song “You’re All My Reasons” also fits as the first dance at weddings. These two new songs are from artist shaun barrowes.

    My husband and I played “Take My Hand Forever Hold” for our first dance at our reception and it was beautiful. We got a lot of nice comments about it. We borrowed it from a friend but try http://www.NatalieRamsay.com

    Really enjoyed this list of songs. It really made me smile, as my fiancee and I just attended a wedding and the couple danced to “Unchained Melody” which I think is so romantic, but didn’t see as a first dance song. Thanks!

    There are many good songs listed there. My aunt was married in the 80’s and she and her husband danced to “Always”.
