First Dance

Quick question: If you're married, to what song did you have your first dance?

If you're not married, what song would you like that to be? If you've been married a couple times, which song was the best? And lastly, if Matthew Perryman Jones and I were going to sing that first dance song, like we did last night, what would you like to hear?

I originally planned on "Angel Eyes" by the Jeff Healey Band. Great tune. Also thinking "You really love a woman" By Brian Adams off the Don Juan Demarco Soundtrack. Just a couple ideas.

I think (sad to say, I don't KNOW) that the first song Tracie and I danced to as wife and husband was "All My Life" by David Wilcox.

And I have to share that my grandparents' song for their wedding and for their 50th anniversary was "Don't Fence Me In" by Cole Porter. I think they picked that song because they just loved to laugh, even when it came to marriage. They were awesome people.

It was SUPPOSED TO BE "When the Stars Go Blue" -- Bono/Corrs

But the stupid DJ didn't even bring it, even though we registered to have that song be our first dance 3 months ahead of time.

AND IT GETS WORSE.

He put on Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World", which is fine. But then he decided to "fire up" the smoke machine (which we did not order; we ordered a mirrorball). The smoke machine set the FIRE ALARMS OFF, which proceeded to blare at piercing levels for upwards of half an hour. Many guests left, and many others waited outside in the chilly Ohio November night until the fire department could arrive to determine that it was just a stupid dj and his smoke machine.

We later found out that, had this event occurred a week later, the sprinkler system would have been activated automatically along with the alarm. So it could have been far worse.

By the way, we ended up dancing to "I Want You to Be My Love" by Over the Rhine. :)

It was beautiful.
