First Dance Choices!

Alternate Post Title: What the heck are the Mister and I going to dance to???

Keither and I both love music...all kinds, and our tastes do tend to overlap a little. The only major difference is that I love me some pop music and he could listen to classic rock for ages. Choosing music for our reception has been a challenging task. Choosing a song for our first-dance? Next to impossible.

I tend to put a lot of pressure on myself to find the "perfect" song-dress-shoe-paper-whatever. And then I get overwhelmed. You already know this though, don't you?

We've never really had A song. We have songs we like, and songs that remind us of the other, but nothing specific. This is the closest thing we have:


Eric Church "Love Your Love the Most"

Yes, it's the name of my blog...that's how much we love this song. He suggested it for a first dance, but it's really not a "first dance song".

Here are the other options that I've come up with that he hasn't immediately shot down, therefore these are still contenders:

1. Christina Perri "A Thousand Years"

Ok, don't knock this song because it says it's from Breaking Dawn. I've seen the movie (twice) and I am here to tell you that except for a few short instrumental strings, this song is not in the movie. Even if it were, I wouldn't care. I'm a Twi-hard. And I think I'm slowly turning Keith into one too ... shhh don't tell him I told you!

2. Blake Shelton "God Gave Me You"

God, do I love this song....we saw Blake in concert last summer and I just adore his music. I think this song is so sweet and the lyrics are perfect for a first dance.

3. Nickleback "Never Gonna Be Alone"

We both love Nickleback and this kind of music in general, and while this isn't a "traditional" first-dance choice, I absolutely love it.

4. Dashboard Confessional "Stolen"

This song makes me melt. It's so beautiful.

5. "Me and You" Kenny Chesney

It's a Kenny-freaking-Chesney song. Need I say more?



Have you figured out yet how much we love country music? It seems to be the one genre that we both absolutely love and agree on, so it makes sense that we choose a country song. I bet you're wondering why the heck I don't have any Brad Paisley songs on our list. We met at a Paisley concert, so it would seem like a perfect choice right? Well, he really only has one option,"Then", and that song is just a tad over-done. We really wanted a song that was a little bit different, and not quite as popular.

So, what do you think? Which song do you think we should go with? Do you have any other suggestions that I might be missing?
