Music to dance to?

[pugwash4x4]

Please help- getting married in July (and its all good)

missus wants a "first dance"- now as a rule i don't dance, but i'm going to make an exception here as i actually quite enjoy getting a groove on, but i'm usually self conscious- now i figure on my wedding day i'll be surrounded by friends so won't be such an issue!

Anyway, the problem is choice of song- missus is of course going to sentimental rubbish, whereas i want something interesting, light hearted and cheery.

we have been through loads of songs, but can't quite find one that suits

Suggestions?

[if we could avoid the usual wedding bashing as found in the lounge then i'd be grateful-ta]

Prodigy - Smack my bh up

Start as you mean to go on.

We had Helplessy Hoping by Crosby, Stills and Nash. The band learned it especially for our wedding. It isn't the easiest song to dance to but you can do a quick waltz to it. (apparently) however her dress was so big, it didn't matter.

Or Black Sabbath - Paranoid...

On a fractionally more serious note, at the last wedding I went to they walked up the aisle to the sound of Apocalyptica's instrumental cover of Nothing Else Matters. That was pretty cool.

That is very cool!

I went to a wedding reception and their first dance was to Avenged Sevenfold - Warmness on the Soul

That is what came into my mind too. Me and the mrs plan to do a similar thing.

But make sure you practice an appropriate routine beforehand.

I still live in the 18th century, so I would want something with strings and possibly a piano/harpsichord or maybe even flute.

It would depend on which piece of music I chose. I have hundreds of ideas.

Just choose something that is special to you.

I walked down the aisle to "that music from 'A Room with a View'" (I'm sure it has an official name, but that's what I call it) because my wife insisted on it.

Pretty much reflects our first dance music at our wedding.

But, for the OP, in the spirit of PH, how about:
