Choosing a song with the perfect lyrics
The lyrics create the meaning of the song. While you may have a song that you and your partner both love, it’s still important to take a look at the lyrics. Do the lyrics really speak to the nature of your relationship? Are there songs that tell a love story similar to yours? How about a song that expresses the feelings you have for each other? A song that has fitting lyrics would prove to be best for your first dance.
Find a common ground with your music

If you and your partner are at odds with your musical taste, it can be difficult to choose a first dance song. If you and your partner can find common ground with your music, as being able to feel the music is a way to be sure that your heart is in it. Is there any better time to put your whole heart into a dance than your first dance as newlyweds? When choosing your song, make sure that it has a great rhythm and beat that is easy to glide across the dance floor to!
