First Dance Song Decided!

As I said before, I've been a bit concerned that Stars Over Texas was a bit cheesy given the tone of our father/daughter song (Cleaning this Gun). The reason that I've been so much happier with our father/daughter song than with our First Dance song was that our father/daughter song is so lighthearted and really expresses the true concept we have for the reception. We are not trying for cheesy, overly-romantic, or any combination of the two. Our reception is about our relationship. We know it's not perfect but it's ours. So, we think that our music should reflect that. After much contemplation, we've decided on a first dance song. It's Brad Paisley's Little Moments. As usual, the link has the song in a video that also has the words.

Yeah! Another decision made

Music: The Not So Romantically Cheesy Reception

Of all the weddings I've been to over the years it seems that the reception music is either really good or really cheesy. So, in an attempt to put together a wedding soundtrack for the reception (we won't even discuss ceremony music yet),we sat down yesterday and compiled a list of appropriate music for the wedding. We've put together a great blend of not-cheesy music and not all romantic music.

We decided that Stars Over Texas will be our first dance song, but we may change that. Part of the reason for changing that is that I think our father/daughter song really sets the lighthearted mood that we're going for and I'm worried that in light of that the first dance song seems a bit cheesy.

Our father/daughter song is still my favorite decision. Mike mentioned it and the more I thought about it, the more I thought it was appropriate for our wedding given the fathers and daughters we know are going to be on the dance floor during the song. Okay, enough build up. Our father/daughter song is Rodney Atkins' Cleaning This Gun. If you haven't heard it before, play the video linked above (it shows the lyrics and has great acoustics). Let me know what you think; I'm dying to know that we're not alone in thinking this is so appropriate.
