25 Memorable First Dance Songs
Christina Karst Photography
A couple’s first dance is one of the most iconic moments of any wedding. When I think back on the day Brandon and I got married in 2013, there is so much about that day that is just a blur, but the one thing I do still remember very well was our first dance. Leading up to our wedding Brandon told me that he wanted to pick our first dance song himself and that he wasn’t going to tell me which song he had picked, so our first dance song was a complete surprise to me. Brandon did good though! He chose “Give Into Me” by Garrett Hedlund and Leighton Meester. It was the perfect choice for us! But, he is a wedding DJ, so I don’t know why I was even surprised, right?!
Now, enough about us, let’s talk about your wedding! Are you struggling to narrow down which first dance song fits the two of you best? Well, hopefully, we can help. Here is a list of twenty-five of our favorites. Maybe you will love one too!

Before I sign off though, I have a bride tip for you! When I look back on our wedding day I have one real regret…..we didn’t hire a videographer. That was a terrible idea because there have been so many things about that day that I wish I could go back and relive. So, If you are on the fence about hiring a videographer, don’t be! Trust me, it’s well worth the extra investment, and let’s face it, I’m sure you’re already over budget anyway. 😉
