So I'm getting married next year, and have been having discussions with my long-suffering better half about what we're going to shuffle to as our first dance.
It's prompted some interesting conversations.
I LOVE Rock & Metal music. He does not. There are plenty of unconventional love songs out there, with absolutely beautiful words, but alas, not many people know them. And in the pastel-puke worthy world that is the typical wedding, most people plump for something uber-cheesy. I had hoped to avoid this and have something a. cool and b. that I like. After all, if you MUST dance like you're trying to move a large wardrobe around, at least do it to a song you like? But like Ian pointed out, the entire concept of the first dance is ridiculous, humiliating and embarrassing and we'll never get away with NOT doing it... so, and it's hard to argue against this, why not make it SO smoochy and cheese-tastic that it becomes ironic and privately amusing? He even suggested Three Times a Lady AND Barry White, to which I say NO! For the love of all things musically sacred NO. I have my limits.
Ian has come up with a lovely song that we probably will use, but in my fantasy land, I'd be shuffling to one of these: The Only Reason (Puddle of Mudd), I Was Married (Tegan & Sarah) or Yellow (Coldplay).
