My groom and I want a unique song to dance to for our first dance and we're both big fans of alternative (mostly pre-2000) and classic rock. Do you know of any good songs for our first dance at the reception?

I love In Your Eyes by Peter Gabriel but my sister used that at her wedding a couple of years ago! And I loved Your Song by Elton John until I saw Moulin Rouge and it totally ruined it for me.

I don't wanna miss a thing (Aerosmith) was played at my best friend's sisters wedding as their first song. They didn't play anything but alternative and it was completly them! We had so much fun (and everyone, even the older people really enjoyed it), but the best thing was how happy the bride and groom were! It's your day, even if it's not a slow song as long as it makes you happy IT'S YOUR DAY!

I Think that the song "I Like Dreaming" by Kenny Nolan is a very good dance/reception song for newly weds . Try it from Limewire or other download site and listen to the lyrics and enjoy.

Certainly not alternative or classic rock, but listen to "What a Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong.

We used "In Your Eyes" by Peter Gabriel. Bit 80's fans and it was wonderful! Good Luck.

This one is a old old classic - that I was going to have at my wedding. It is by Johnny Mathis (year I don't know) "The Twelveth of Never" and you can go hear to listen to it http://www.angelfire.com/music5/crnr55/Mathis02.htm
Also, another favorite for weddings is "Wind Beneath My Wings" sung by Better Middler
Good Luck on Your Life Together!

Oceans by Pearl Jam
Hold on to the thread
The currents will shift
Glide me towards...
You know something's left
And we're all allowed
To dream of the next
Oh, ohh the next, time we touch...
Oooh... (4x)
You don't have to stray
Tho oceans away
Waves roll in my thoughts
Hold tight the ring...
The sea will rise...
Please stand by the shore...
Oh, oh, oh, I will be...
I will be there once more...
Oooh... (4x)
Uh huh, oh yeah... (2x)
Very pretty song.
