No doubt she was hoping her daughter would wake up the next morning and realize what she'd gotten into, and slip away quietly.BiggusGeekus said:

I tried to convince my wife we should dance to Afternoon Delight but she kept saying no.

Wise men say
Only fools rush in
But I can't help
Falling in love with you
Hail to the King, baby.

Our first dance song was "When I Fall in Love" from the Sleepless in Seattle soundtrack, an early date movie.
But the song I always associate with my wife is Chris De Burgh's "Suddenly Love." Our first Valentine's Day I printed up the lyrics nicely, placed them in a frame with a couple of pictures of us and gave it to her.
Suddenly love comes in and finds me on open ground,
Nowhere to hide, nowhere to run, there's no turning back,
And a journey has just begun;
Suddenly love breaks down the doors,
There is singing inside,
And all of the light that's in your eyes, shining here tonight,
Has woken the man in me, and the woman in you,
The woman in you;
All night, heads on the pillow, and eyes that are never shut,
All night, rain on the window, but inside, we have so much;
Suddenly love takes me away where I've never been,
Shows me a world I have never seen, I could only dream,
That I ever would find myself with a lover like you,
A lover like you;
All night, heads on the pillow, and eyes that are never shut,
All night, body to body, and thrilling to every touch;
Oh, suddenly love takes me away where I've never been,
It shows me a world I have never seen, and I just want to be,
Alone in your mystery, love me over and over, and over and over again.

Our "first dance" at the wedding reception was to, "Forever's As Far As I'll Go," by Alabama.
I'll admit I could feel it
The first time that we touched.
The look in your eyes
Said you felt as much
But I'm not a man
Who falls so easily
It's best that you know
Where you stand with me
I will give you my heart
Faithful and true
And all the love it can hold
That's all I can do
But I've thought about
How long I'll love you
And it's only fair that you know
Forever's as far as I'll go.
When there's age around my eyes
And gray in your hair
And it only takes a touch to recall
The love we've shared
I won't take for granted
That you know my love is true
Each night in your arms
I will whisper to you.
I will give you my heart
Faithful and true
And all the love it can hold
That's all I can do
But I've thought about
How long I'll love you
And it's only fair that you know
Forever's as far as I'll go.

If I should Fall Behind (Bruce Springsteen)
Wife and I danced to this one by The Boss
We said we'd walk together baby come what may
That come the twilight should we lose our way
If as we're walkin a hand should slip free
I'll wait for you
And should I fall behind
Wait for me
We swore we'd travel darlin' side by side
We'd help each other stay in stride
But each lover's steps fall so differently
But I'll wait for you
And if I should fall behind
Wait for me
Now everyone dreams of a love lasting and true
But you and I know what this world can do
So let's make our steps clear that the other may see
And I'll wait for you
If I should fall behind
Wait for me
Now there's a beautiful river in the valley ahead
There 'neath the oak's bough soon we will be wed
Should we lose each other in the shadow of the evening trees
I'll wait for you
And should I fall behind
Wait for me
Darlin' I'll wait for you
Should I fall behind
Wait for me

We picked The Luckiest after determining that we should have a "new" song for our wedding song. Sure we had a special song for while we were dating... but thought we should mark the new status by a new song. I still get a little misty every time I hear it.nakia said:Hey! That's what Mrs. nakia and I danced to on our wedding day. What a great song.
We're also partial to "Somebody" by Depeche Mode.
We exited the reception to "She's No Lady (she's my wife)" by Lyle Lovett.
*laughing* We exited to... "I'm so sick of people! Wait a minute! There's no one standing near the door to the ball room... RUN!!!"

I forgot to mention this lil' tidbit... we didn't have a first dance... the church my wife and her family belong to doesn't allow dancing. So we just played our song right before the ceremony.
I've dj'd dozens and dozens of receptions, and I'd say 90% or more of them have had virtually no dancing. They just seemed to want to pay me a lot of cash to play background music. I guess it's an Arkansas thing.
