For couples who never had an “our song” together, choosing a tune for their first dance can be tough. There are always classic standards – such as the wonderful “At Last” by Etta James – that your parents or even grandparents may have swayed to at their own weddings. However, you and your sweetheart may want to make your own traditions and pick something that represents the time period you fell in love. There are already modern standbys such as “All of Me” by John Legend or “Thinking Out Loud” by Ed Sheeran, but some lovebirds might prefer something more unique and specific to their shared musical taste.
