Our Cran-Lemon Wedding: First Dance

Since Steve and I weren't taking dance lessons, we decided to choose an upbeat first dance song so we could do more than sway. We debated a few songs but ended up choosing "No One" by Alicia Keys. It's the perfect tempo and the lyrics really suit our relationship. I ended up singing along while we danced!





I just want you close
Where you can stay forever

You can be sure

That it will only get better



You and me together
Through the days and nights

I don't worry 'cause

Every thing's going to be alright

People keep talking, they can say what they like

But all I know is every thing's going to be alright



No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling

No one, no one, no one

Can get in the way of what I feel for you



I know some people search the world
To find something like what we have

I know people will try, try to divide, something so real


No one, no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you


Halfway through the song, our DJ invited all couples to the dance floor to join us. It worked out well because four minutes is a long time to dance with everyone watching you! We finished out the song with our guests dancing around us.



When the song ended, we got another round of applause! Our guests were so awesome. :)




Then it was time to take our seats. Next up: toasts!

  2. What a perfect first dance song! I like that it's not "typical" and a little more upbeat.

  3. We did the same thing with our first dance and had the DJ invite people up about halfway through the song. The bonus was that everyone was already up when the dance party started!
