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

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!

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
