FH and I are trying to find a first dance song for our wedding. We want a slow song that has a retro/nostalgic presence. Cheesy without being too cheesy.

Some examples of ones that we’ve considered are:

How deep is your love // Bee Gees
Kiss from a rose // Seal
Heaven // Bryan Adams
Wonderful Tonight // Eric Clapton
True // Spandau Ballet (we probably would have went with this one if it wasn’t his parents’ first dance song)

Any recommendations?

I know it’s old but my wife and my song about 50 years ago today was Nights in White Satin by the Moody Blues. Another good old song is Whiter Shade of Pale by Procol Harum. Those are what we called belly rubbin music.

You might have nailed it for appropriate cheese level with "Wonderful Tonight"... My suggestion isn't quite slow enough but "Home" by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros is just dripping with sentimentality and nostalgia... mby even too cheesy.

A couple that may be too high on the cheese-o-meter...

"Into the Mystic" Van Morrison

There's tons of beatles that fit the bill but i'll offer:

"Two of Us" despite it being a bit silly and about John and Paul's totally platonic friendship...

"When I'm 64"
