classylady Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 My daughter is getting married and we are trying to compile dance music for the wedding. What are some of your favorite songs that are LDS appropriate? We need a song for the Bride and Groom's first dance, Bride and Father's dance, and then just general good/fun dance music. I like this old pop classic, but don't know if it would be appreciated or appropriate at a wedding--though my daughter loves it. "If You Wanna Be Happy for the rest of your life, Never make a pretty woman your wife, So from my personal point of view, Get an ugly girl to marry you...." What do you think? This is one of those songs, as a family, that we used to sing out loud to while driving in the car. So it does have some "family" good-time memories.

Guest Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 You put your left foot in, you put your left foot out, you put your left foot in and shake it all about... :-) But for general dance mixes, the kids party CD advertised on Nickelodeon is mucho fun!

JudoMinja Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 Cinderella by Steven Curtis Chapman is a great one for a Daddy-Daughter dance.Not sure about one for the Bride-Groom dance though... Don't they typically pick something that's personal between themselves? Like their "first song" they danced to together, or something they feel is descriptive of their personal romance?

rameumptom Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 How about Noel Paul Stookey's (Peter, Paul and Mary), "Wedding Song - (There is Love)"John Denver's "Annie's Song" is also nice.Of course, you could go the other direction and use the song made famous by Fred Astaire and Jame Powell: "How Could You Believe Me When I Said I Love You, When You Know I've Been A Liar All My Life?"

Windseeker Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 For a faster fun dance toon with cute lyrics for a couple, I'd recommend Such Great Heights by The Postal ServiceSuch Great Heights By The Postal Service With Lyrics - YouTube Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jennarator Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 Nobody does the bunny hop and the loco motion song at weddings anymore. why not bring those back? kids can get into it, too. it's so cheesey, it might get people on the floor that might just dance because it's silly and nobody does it anymore.

Guest Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 There's a song from the Step Up soundtrack (the original with Channing Tatum) that is quite cute. In the movie, they dance a version of the electric slide to the song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mordorbund Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 I thought it was tradition for the bride and groom to dance to Metallica's Nothing Else Matters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
