There are different aspects you should consider when deciding on your first wedding dance song. Of course you want it to be a song that you and your partner like but do bear in mind that you will need to be able to dance to it as well and then the tempo (not too slow, not too fast – have a look on Wedding dance -page for examples) and clear beat will carry more importance than you might have thought before.
You might be one of those couples who think that it’s their day and they get to enjoy it to the full. You might also consider the guests and whether the song would be something that everyone knows and can join in during the chorus, tap their feet and feel a warm glow while watching you dance.
One more thing to ponder about is the length of the song – will you dance the whole song through or have your relatives or all your guests join you after a while? 1 min 30 secs or so is a good time on the floor by yourselves. Then you can invite the relatives / guests (as per your choice) to join you to finish off the song. Alternatively you can either fade out the song after the big finish (round that 1,5 min point) or if you have a band, have them wrap up the song from there – your guests will join in for the second song instead.
Happy listening while choosing your tune!
