Look, the ukulele take on “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” is super cute and “What a Wonderful World” always makes me smile, but if I hear either one more time I mean, it makes sense to pick either for your first-dance song—they’re insanely popular for a reason. But for brides who’d like a first-dance song that haven’t been on wedding-DJ repeat for the past decade, here are three newer songs to consider.
(1) “Bright” by Echosmith
(2) “Nothing Without Love” by Nate Ruess
This one came out last summer, but I don’t think it was big for weddings like it will be this year. (It’s probably the next mega-huge song, so if you want it to be your song, hurry up and get married.)
(3) “Thinking Out Loud” by Ed Sheeran
What will your first-dance song be?
Ours was “Baby I Love You” by Aretha Franklin, which was pretty awesome. Hear it here.
