Well, hello there, you younguns! Gettin’ hitched, huh? That’s mighty fine, mighty fine. Now, you’re lookin’ for a song for that first dance, ain’t ya? Don’t you worry your pretty little heads, I’ve heard a thing or two about these here weddin’ songs in my time.
You gotta pick somethin’ that makes you feel all mushy inside, you know? Like when you eat a whole plate of grandma’s apple pie all by yourself. Somethin’ that just feels…right. Don’t go pickin’ somethin’ just ‘cause it’s popular or ‘cause your Aunt Sue says so. This here’s your dance, your moment.
First off, let’s talk about them slow songs. You know, the ones that make you wanna sway back and forth real close. Them’s good for lookin’ into each other’s eyes and whisperin’ sweet nothin’s. I heard tell of this fella named Ed Sheeran, sings a song called “Thinking Out Loud.” Folks say it’s real purdy, somethin’ about takin’ you into their lovin’. Sounds nice, don’t it? Then there’s that old-timer, Frank Sinatra. He sang a song called “Fly Me to the Moon.” Now that’s a classic, makes you feel like you’re dancin’ on the stars or somethin’. Romantic, you know? Real romantic.
But maybe you younguns are the jumpy type, the ones who like to tap your feet. That’s alright too! There’s all sorts of weddin’ songs out there. Fast ones, slow ones, ones with words, ones without. It’s like pickin’ corn in the field – gotta find the best ones for you.
- Don’t get bogged down by what others say. If you like that fast, poppy music, go for it! If you wanna waltz to some old-timey tune, do it! It ain’t nobody’s business but yours and your sweetie’s.
- Think about your story. Is there a song that played when you first met? Or maybe a song you both love to sing along to in the car? Them’s good choices, real personal.
- Listen to the words. Do they make sense for you two? Do they talk about love and forever and all that good stuff? You don’t want no sad song about breakin’ up at your weddin’, now do ya?
- Practice! You don’t wanna be stompin’ all over each other’s feet out there. Put that song on and twirl around the kitchen a few times. Get comfortable with it.
Now, some folks get all stressed out about this. They read these fancy lists with 88 best songs, or 100 best songs. Pshaw! Don’t need none of that. Just listen to your heart, listen to the music. You’ll know the right one when you hear it. It’ll feel like sunshine on your face, a warm fire on a cold night.
And don’t let nobody tell you different! Not your mama, not your best friend, not even that know-it-all DJ. This here’s your weddin’, your song, your moment. Make it count. Make it yours.
And most importantly, have fun! That’s what it’s all about, ain’t it? Gettin’ hitched, dancin’ with the one you love, and startin’ a whole new chapter in your life. So go on, find that perfect song, and dance your hearts out. I’ll be cheerin’ you on from the sidelines, you betcha.
Remember, it’s about you two. Pick a song that makes you happy, makes you wanna squeeze each other tight, and makes you remember this special day forever. That’s all that matters. Now go on, git! And congratulations!
And don’t forget to smile! A smile is the prettiest thing you can wear on your wedding day, besides that fancy white dress, of course. And maybe a good pair of dancin’ shoes!
