Music: 15 Nontraditional Country First Dance Songs

The First Dance is reception tradition that a lot of couples really, really love and want to do. And that's great! The First Dance is an opportunity for the two of you to share a public “private” moment in the midst of your wedding reception plus it's a goldmine of photographic moments.

But! What about the song for your first dance? Oy, with the “Titanic” theme song and the various version of “I Don't Wanna Miss a Thing”… what if country is more your thing?

15 Nontraditional Country First Dance Songs

Here's my list of some great country songs that would be perfect for a First Dance but haven't been used at every wedding ever (hint: no Carrie Freaking Underwood):

  • History in the Making – Darius Rucker
  • You Are – Jimmy Wayne
  • Here, There, And Everywhere – Emmylou Harris
  • Lost in this Moment – Big & Rich
  • The Wind – Zac Brown Band
  • The Vows Go Unbroken – Kenny Rogers
  • Simple Love – Alison Krauss
  • Two People Fell in Love – Brad Paisley
  • I Already Do – Chely Wright
  • I Could Not Ask For More – Sara Evans
  • The Rest of Mine – Trace Adkins
  • That's When I Love You – Phil Vassar
  • Let Me Go – Christian Kane
  • I'll Take Care of You – Dixie Chicks
  • The Sweetest Thing (I've Ever Known) – Juice Newton

Do you know your first dance song? Are you going with any of the ones listed above? Why did you pick the one that you did? Share away!

Sharing is caring!
