First Dance Songs for my Wedding (if and when, ya know)

Anyone who knew me in high school and college knows that getting married (or even thinking about getting married) has not been on the top of my priorities list. These days though I’ve been thinking a lot about it – probably because I know so many people who are getting married or are in serious relationships. Also, I’ve reached the age that I just kinda figured it might have happened or been in the works already. In truth, it’s not even on the radar. Make no mistake, I do want to get married someday and hopefully sooner than later. Maybe if I had realized that it took more effort on my part, I wouldn’t have placed the idea of marriage on the back burner for so long. Despite my lack of focus, I still hold out hope that it will happen and I feel that maybe if I start preparing myself for the possibility of it occurring it might place me one step closer to the fact. So here we go. I’m going to list some songs that I would potentially like to be played for our first dance:

Ben Folds The Luckiest (this is my top choice)

Kenny Chesney Me and You (Original Video Here)

This Year’s Love David Gray

At My Most Beautiful R.E.M. (okay this song probably isn’t a good dance or wedding song but I think it’s beautiful and romantic)

Northern Sky Nick Drake (this video is the only one I could find)

Lucky Jason Mraz

Falling In Love at a Coffee Shop Landon Pigg
The Promise Tracy Chapman (my dad loves Tracy Chapman. He would love if I used this song)

You Say it Best When You Say Nothing at All Alison Krause (truthfully I’ve been thinking about this song since I was about 14)

Steady As We Go DMB

At Last Etta James (of course this is in here-what girl doesn’t consider this?)

I think that’s a pretty good list for now.
