Default Inspiration needed - first wedding dance!!

Hi.

We get married a week tomorrow and still haven't chosen our first dance song. Really having problems chosing the right one. We don't really go in for that soppy type of stuff (ie having a song). Was thinking something by the likes of Stevie Wonder - slightly upbeat and cheery.

Any suggestions? What was yours?

How about a nice bit of Rage Against The Machine?

What sort of stuff are you into?

You can't go wrong with a good classic rock band... Like the 'Rolling Stones'... 'Satisfaction' comes to mind as being a fun track for that particular event


Just call me 'Mr Helpful'

Hmmmm, Dido. Never really been overly keen on her. Life for rent isn't bad though but I don't think thats appropriate!

Wonderful world is sounding good....

What He Said.... Make it either classy or funny. You only play the above if your wedding ring is from Elizabeth Duke.

I have a goo goo dolls cd somewhere; a mate copied it for me and I haven't listened to it. That one is getting a good response from other half

Hey I've just noticed the 4k thing. I guess if I was a muppet I'd be entitled to a party. Mind you I'd hardly call that a lot over the time it's taken.

Just under a year! That's pre-farting stage.

Congratulations anyway.
