Our Favorite First Dance Songs of 2014
Finding the perfect first dance song can be a bit overwhelming at first, but when you have the right goals in mind, it’s much easier/ to narrow them down! Here are a few things to consider while on the hunt for the perfect song:
1. Does the song make you want to tap your toes or sway side to side? If not, simply keep looking.
2. Do the lyrics send the right message? Look out for those beautiful love songs about break-ups, lost love, or infidelity!
3. Does the feeling of the song express you and your fiance’s relationship? If you’re particularly fun and outgoing or romantic and reserved, your first dance should be too!
