Hi Everyone!
My sister is getting married in June and asked me to come up with some good, classic, swing tunes that are good for a first dance at the wedding. I'd greatly appreciate any and all suggestions. They are not really dancers, so probably slower tempos would be best.
Thanks,
Karen

Benno and Karen, who were just married, played L.O.V.E by Nat King Cole for their first song. Nice slow/mid tempo super romantic song.

Other suggestions:
The way you look tonight,Frank Sinatra
PaperMoon, Nat King Cole
It had to be you, Harry Connick Jr.

Liz is the expert on wedding first-dances! You could ask her.

Bad choices (all blues songs, anyway):
"Never trust a woman" by Louis Jordan
"Too Many Women, Too Little Time" by I forget who
"Big Mouth Woman" Rob Rio
"I Want a Big Fat Mama"
"200 lbs of fun"

another bad choice:
country song:
"if my wife were a fish, i'd throw her back"

actually, i think the real title is " if today were a fish, i'd throw it back"
