Together Forever: First Dance Songs

The first dance at a wedding reception is usually a slow love song that the newly married couple dance alone, or at least, begin alone. The couple have the eyes of all their guests on them, and it's not uncommon for the couple to be a bit clumsy as they begin.. not just because of nervousness, but also because this would likely be their first time dancing in their wedding attire, and wedding dresses can be quite heavy! ☺
