When deciding on a special first dance for you and your new husband to dance to: listen very very carefully to the words. Although most brides are very aware of the lyrics and chose something they personally identify with: many brides select pretty songs that they like. without realizing what the story is actually about.
For example, one of the most popular ballads in history, Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You” is about a woman who carries a torch for the man who broke up with her. Yet, from time to time, it is asked for as a first dance.
We still receive requests for “ Dance With My Father” by Luther Vandross as a father/daughter dance. If you listen closely to the words, it is about a dead father. This is not appropriate for a wedding tradition song.
