For several months I have been searching for the perfect first dance song. Most articles and websites list the same songs over and over again. While beautiful, the songs did not give me the “oh my gosh this is the song” feeling . I quickly became discouraged and gave up my search for the perfect song. Within a few days, not one, but two songs randomly graced my ears.
“First Day of My Life” by Bright Eyes
And “All I Have to do is Dream” cover by Jack’s Mannequin
What do you think? What song did you choose for your first dance?
Awww I love both those songs - they are so sweet they always make me cry 
In that first vidoe, the woman with the picture of a guy made me almost cry. Maybe my imagination is too active. I kept coming with reasons why he wasn’t there and all of them were said.
Anywho, although both are good, I love Oldies so I would go with “all I have to do is dream”
The Bright Eyes song is almost a wedding classic!! We wanted something different too and chose a song by Fiest calld “Mushaboom” it was silly and sweet and has a line that goes “I’ve found a man to stick it and make home out of rented house” ….it was perfect for us!
I love them both!! It’s a tough choice, but I’m leaning towards All I Have to Do is Dream because it’s classic but the cover is unexpected. Plus, it’s such a sweet song!
Both are cute! There is another version to All I have to do is dream by Patti… it’s gorgeous!
my BFF is getting married in december and using that Bright Eyes song for their first dance…i think is sweet!
I’ve been a Bright Eyes fan for ages, and have always thought of that song for weddings. Its so sweet and innocent and unique. It gets my vote!
I love love love the Bright Eyes song. A couple others you may want to check out — Forever by Ben Harper and All of My Days by Alexi Murdoch.
They are both great, but the second one seems like it would be easier to dance to.
I’ve always loved that bright eyes song and have to use it in our wedding at some point. My only concern was if it was “danceable”. practice and let me know! 
ps. i love ben folds - the luckiest http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZ-y-bbbwKw

We’re going to use the Bright Eyes song! My fiance sang it to me on my birthday the first year we were dating…and it totally made me cry. Yep. I’m going to be sobbing at my wedding, there’s no doubt about it. I’m not to worried about the dancing part–we’re pretty much embrace and sway people. It’s such a sweet song.
ooh, i like both! can you use one for the first dance and use the other one for something else?
We are having Metallica ‘Nothing else matter’ the version with the symphony, my man loves Metallica so its my little wedding pressie to him to have a song thats really him.
@Melissa: Thanks for the suggestions, I’ll have to check them out
@BEL: Those are great songs, thanks for sharing.
@melodicsighs: I was thinking the same thing I would really like to use both songs somehow.
That Bright Eyes video NEVER fails to bring a little tear to my eye. It’s so sweet and endearing. I was considering that one, too.
