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?
