For some couples, choosing a First Dance is easy. They've always had "their song" and so their search for the appropriate song lasts about five minutes. For Mr. Dragon and I, this particular search was not so easy. Our favorite songs were either totally wedding-inappropriate OR they were TOO emotionally meaningful to us. I do not want to be crying all over the dance floor - I am kind of private about some things (shocking, I know.) Over the course of several months, we went back and forth, trying to find something that felt right. Well, we finally found something that feels perfect! I am not going to share the song because... I have to keep some things a surprise!!
In the course of our search, however, we found several songs that might be fantastic at YOUR wedding! So, without further adieu... Great first dance songs not-for-Snapdragons. :)
So Small - Carrie Underwood
This is the song we didn't choose because I would be sobbing the whole way through! There is "pretty cry" and "ugly cry." This is my ugly cry song, so NO GO!
You Are the Best Thing - Ray LaMontagne
I loooooooooove me some Ray LaMontagne. Mr. Dragon and I both liked this song a lot, but... we don't really have a personal connection to him or his music. I think he's amazing, but when Mr. Dragon and I are together, we don't listen to Ray any more than other artists that we enjoy. That being said, this song is awesome, and one of you needs to pick it!!
Witness to your Life - Lori McKenna
I have written before about how incredible I think Lori McKenna is, and I really love this song. Although we ALMOST selected this song, it didn't quite make the cut for us. I love how natural and truthful this song feels. I adore this song.
*This is the ONLY embeddable video I could find of this song. It may take a few minutes to load - worth the wait!
