50 Songs That Will Make Your First Dance as Newly-weds Super Memorable!

The first dance of a newly-wed couple during their wedding reception carries a lot of significance, and is reserved for that time, during the wedding bash, when their guests are able to watch and cheer them on. Unfortunately for us, it is almost becoming impossible to make it happen in this era because of the new trend of thematic dance showcases of newly-weds and their entourage as they make their way into the reception venue. The showcase is usually choreographed prior, and is sometimes a whole stage production. 

The first dance is therefore saved for last after the food and speeches are done. In Kenya, everyone joins in behind the couple to dance away. The newlyweds are supposed to dance first for an entire opening song and the rest join in.

Whichever way you have it, a good song is the perfect recipe for a memorable  first dance experience.
