Everyone wants their wedding to be perfect. And when planning for that special day every couple gives a great deal of thought to the songs that will be played at both the ceremony and the reception.
Previously on the Y! Radish we've posted a playlist of the most popular songs for the garter toss part of the wedding reception. As you would expect, the garter toss list is lighthearted and filled with sexual innuendo, but the songs reserved for the "first dance" are a different animal.
This is the song the bride and groom will dance to for the very first time as husband and wife, so the vast majority of couples opt for classic tracks brimming with romance. This consistency of romantic choices is one of the reasons that a video like this has gotten 10.5 million views at YouTube.
My wife and I fell out of the norm with our selection as our first dance pick was "There Is No If..." by the Cure.
The following playlist includes the most requested first dance songs selected by couples as recorded by a mobile DJ survey conducted by discjockeys.com.
