New and INNOVATIVE First Dance Songs

Okay, so after a year of discussing our first dance, which included comprising list upon list for Brandt, while he turned suggestion after suggestion down and kept saying he wanted to do the Dance Evolution Mix, but didn't want to practice, we have finally chosen a song. I mean, Brandt finally chose a song, "Question" by the Old 97's! Here is a list of songs that we compiled and created for you. While we love Etta James, we don't want to hear "At Last" AGAIN, or anything else so overly done, that will make of our guests yawn! Some are Spanish, some are country, some are new and old, but, hey, there is something for everybody and all are rarely done, if ever!
