We never really had a song in all the time we dated. When it came to picking our first dance song, we wanted something timeless and a classic. We chose Otis Redding "That's How Strong My Love Is". We both love him and the genre of music, so it just fit us. So now I still get all the feels when I hear it
The only other song that reminds me of DH is "Crash Into Me" by DMB. We were at my best friend's wedding about 6 months into our relationship and while we slow danced to it he sang it softly to me (cheesy, I know). The weekend of this was the first time staying at my parent's house with him, he finally met my best friends (we lived in another city), and it's the first time he told me he loved me. So sometimes that song makes me all cheesy and lovey feeling, too!
We danced to "Whatever it is" by Zac Brown Band at our wedding. I don't think we really had a song before that, and neither one of us really like country music, but for some reason that song seems to fit us.
Our first dance was to Without You by Keith Urban though. I shared a bed with BFF the night before my wedding and the first thing she did that morning was jump out of bed, get a piece of paper out of her bag, and leave the room. H wrote me a goofy but also really sweet poem called 'With You'...ok typing it out totally sets my cheese factor alarm off but heck I cried the whole time, I had to read it a few times to get it all!
"Mirrors" by Justin Timberlake was our wedding song.
Also, back in the day I had Chris Brown's "Forever" as my ringtone for H, so it always reminds me of him. I still love that song even if Chris Brown is a total douche bag.
I think our main one would be "God gave me you" by Blake Shelton only because DH sang it to me one night. And then another night when he thought I was asleep. It was so cute and mushy! Just love this man!!
Our recession song was "All I Want is You" by Barry Louie Polisar and our first dance was to Cat Power's cover of "Sea of Love". Very Juno soundtrack but we both loved that cd and it was the soundtrack of many car rides together.
Also, every time I hear "Mushaboom" by Feist I get choked up. We cut our cake to that song and it's so weird to be living in our house now with a baby on the way. Lyrics including "in the mean time we got it hard, second floor living without a yard" and "wait the babies haven't been born" = memories of daydreaming and now we're living it... happy weeping.
Our first dance as a married couple was "At Last," but then halfway through the song, it switched to "Living on a Prayer." DH and I are not super lovey dovey/ PDA type people, so while we knew people expected us to dance to a song like "At Last", Bon Jovi is more us and speaks to our relationship a bit more. It made for a great start to a fun wedding!
Keith Urban's "Your everything" was our wedding song and I've wanted to get a few lines of the lyrics as a tattoo for the longest time but haven't been able to decide on where I wanted them. I thought it would be sweet for me to get one half of a verse and DH to get the other half.
Rodney Atkins' "Watching you" makes us super happy thinking about what our little baby is going to be like as he/she grows up.
We also don't have a song... In fact, I couldn't get him to agree on a first dance song until I found "Grow Old With You" from the wedding singer soundtrack.

Our first dance song was "overjoyed" by Stevie Wonder. We took some dance lessons and our instructor HATED the song. (She was about 100 years old and didn't trust us with the tempo, wanted us to pick a waltz instead.) We ended up doing pretty well, I must say!

Our first dance was to God Gave Me You by Blake Shelton...we don't really have a specific song and it was like the least interesting thing for me to pick for the wedding..... DH did one time play me "Dancing Shoes" by Green River Ordinace and told me it reminded him of me, I thought that was sweet:)
Our song, if we have one, is the song we danced to at our wedding - Who You Love by John Mayer (featuring Katy Perry). It fits us very well. DH is the one who thought of it as our first dance song and when he had me listen to it, I got all teary eyed and knew it was our song.

Ours is a little unorthodox. It's Call to Arms by Angels and Airwaves. My mum thought it was a joke when I played it for her and said it would be our wedding song. But then she heard the words and got teary so we all had a big dance the night before the wedding to get used to the tempo and sound so we wouldn't crack up at the reception. One of my favourite memories from my wedding and it was actually the day before.
Nobody knows our song b/c it is off the Epcot soundtrack from Disney World. It's called "We Go On" and DH even learned to play it on the piano for me! At our wedding everyone was like, what song is this? lol

Our wedding dance was to "Kiss Me" - Sixpence None the Richer. We never admit IRL that our dating song or what we remember to be our dating song of that summer was "See you again" - Miley Cyrus. We would have it on full blast in the car, making up the words and laughing at each other. Good times.

Our first dance sing was, "She's no lady," by Lyle Lovett. Luckily, everyone realized it was a joke and laughed about it. (The lyrics are stuff like: The preacher asked her and she said I do. The preacher asked me and she said yes he does, too. And the preacher said, "I pronounce you 99 to life, Son, she's no lady she's your wife.")
We also always sing "I believe in a thing called love," by The Darkness at the top of our lungs whenever it comes on. It's the best.
