What makes some of the most remarkable wedding moments for everyone present? Why the wedding dance songs, of course. Stepping onto the floor as fresh married couple, and hitting the dance floor together as a newly married couple for the very first time is a special memory that you will never stop thinking about.
There are so many songs to pick from that it is often difficult to decide on the perfect one. You might want to pick a song that you have listened to on your first date together, or maybe there is a song that the two of you consider to be “yours”. Maybe you have a favorite singer and want to pick something that they have sung in the past.
Discuss it as a couple and let the choice of a unique wedding dance song be one of your first shared decisions. This is a vital matter and you will want to give it great deal of thought. Why not listen to wedding music samples from some of your favorite tunes and vote on the ones you like the best. Then, after you have narrowed a larger field of choices the final selection might be simpler.
When it comes to all time favorite wedding dance songs there are some that have gained a place in the hearts of millions. Here is a list of 15 top wedding dance song selections that you might want to look. You are certain to find a number that will produce the frame and the moment that you are dreaming about.
Elvis Presley is the King of Rock and Roll and most of his songs have been played for that first dance as man and wife. “Can’t Help Falling in Love” is an classic, but it has never lost it’s tender emotion over the decades. If you want a romantic favorite this Presley classic is surely one to think about.
“A Moment Like This” is a younger addition to the wedding dance songs list, but Kelly Clarkson has made this a excellent pick for many brides and grooms. Another of the Golden Oldie Classics is “Unchained Melody” by the Righteous Brothers. The melody and words will have the two of you looking affectionately into each other’s eyes and singing along with this unchanging love ballad.
Anne Murray made “Can I Have this Dance?” a top 10 hit and it is still seen one of the best wedding dance songs of all time. Who can resist a song that asks if someone can dance with you forever? Elton John brought another question to the Best Song List with “Can You Feel the Love Tonight?” This is a wonderful song for any couple who wants to slow dance while being serenaded by one of Rocket Man’s top songs.
“Chances Are” is a Johnny Mathis original that sets the stage for a wonderful first dance. You might just fall in love with Bob Carlisle’s famous “Giving You the rest of my Life”. Rod Stewart contributes another highly popular dance song with “Have I Told You lately that I Love You?”
You can pick the version of the “Hawaiian Wedding Dance” that you like the most. This is one of the favorite wedding dance songs that is heard at many weddings everywhere. Listen to Andy Williams version and then try out the arrangement popularized by Elvis. After you compare these two side by side you can pick the one you prefer.
Another often picked song is one made popular by Peter Gabriel. This wedding dance song is titled “In your Eyes”. If you like the smooth tones and peppy dance beats that Hootie and the Blowfish are famous for you can rock out on the dance floor to their hit single, “Only wanna Be with You”
A great Frank Sinatra classic for wedding dances is,” Love is here to Stay”. This one is a time honored song that will still be requested when your own children are getting married. While this is more suitable for a slow dance you can foxtrot with another Sinatra song, “Love and Marriage”.
Minnie Ripperton gave us a wonderful wedding dance song with, “Loving You”. There is also “My Girl” by the Temptations or the Richard Marx composition, “Now and Forever”. Any of these 3 wedding dance songs will create a romantic and upbeat atmosphere for that important first dance.
