My fiance and I need a song for our first dance at our wedding, but we don't want any over-used or cliche ones, like "endless love", "God blessed the broken road", etc.
"Our" song isn't one to be played at the wedding (it's "here without you", long story), but all the ones that my friends suggest are ones that are overplayed all the time, and i want something special. Any ideas?

I used Eric Clapton's "Beautiful Tonight", but my DJ play Lonestar "Amazed" for the Bridal Party dance and I wish I had picked that song
Every time our eyes meet
This feeling inside me
Is almost more than I can take
Baby when you touch me
I can feel how much you love me
And it just blows me away
I've never been this close to anyone or anything
I can hear your thoughts
I can see your dreams
I don't know how you do what you do
I'm so in love with you, it just keeps getting better
I wanna spend the rest of my life with you by my side
Forever and ever
Every little thing that you do
Baby I'm amazed by you
The smell of your skin
The taste of your kiss
The way you whisper in the dark
Your hair all around me, baby you surround me
You touch everyplace in my heart
Oh, it feels like the first time every time
I wanna spent the whole night in your eyes
I don't know how you do what you do
I'm so in love with you, it just keeps getting better
I wanna spend the rest of my life with you by my side
Forever and ever
Every little thing that you do
Baby I'm amazed by you
Every little thing that you do
I'm so in love with you
It just keeps getting better
I wanna spend the rest of my life with you by my side
Forever and ever
Every little thing that you do
Oh, every little thing that you do
Baby I'm amazed by you

God must have spent...Nsync
Can this be true?
Tell me, can this be real?
How can I put into words what I feel?
My life was complete
I thought I was whole
Why do I feel like I'm losing control?
Never knew that love could feel like this
and you changed my world with just one kiss.
How can it be that right here with me
there's an angel?
It's a miracle
Your love is like a river
peaceful and deep
your soul is like a secret
That I could never keep
When I look into your eyes
I know that it's true
God must of spent
A little more time
On you
In all of creation
All things great and small
You are the one that surpasses them all
More precious than
Any diamond or pearl
They broke the mold
When you came into this world
And I'm trying hard to figure out
Just how I ever did without
The warmth of your smile
The heart of a child
That's deep inside
Leaves me purified
or Heaven by Bryan Adams
Heaven
Oh - thinkin' about all our younger years
There was only you and me
We were young and wild and free
Now nothin' can take you away from me
We've been down that road before
But that's over now
You keep me comin' back for more
Chorus
Baby you're all that I want
When you're lyin' here in my arms
I'm findin' it hard to believe
We're in heaven
And love is all that I need
And I found it here in your heart
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven
Oh - once in your life you find someone
Who will turn your world around
Bring you up when you're feelin' down
Ya-nothin' could change what you mean to me
Oh there's lots that I could say
But just hold me now
Cause our love will light the way
Chorus
I've been waitin' for so long
For somethin' to arrive
For love to come along
Now our dreams are comin' true
Through the good times and the bad
Ya - I'll be standin' there by you

Truly, Madly, Deeply By Savage Garden.
It was my husbands and I first dance song (also what we considered our song when we started dating at 13), and there wasn't a dry eye in the building after we finished. We sang it to each other and looked each other in the eyes the whole time, and he kept kissing me on the forhead. Even I had tears running down my face...
It was a moment we anticipated for years, and it turned out better then we could ever thought.
The lyrics really go straight to the heart.

My husband and I got engaged to "Amazed" by Lonestar and we had our first dance as husband and wife to "When You Say Nothing At All" by Alison Krauss.
There are so many songs to choose from. It's all going to be based on what you really like.

Brian McKnight.....Back at One, this is one of the most beautiful songs that I have ever heard. If you are able to download music off the net then this could be the one for you and your wife on your wedding day.........
