Comment:

Think of it as a visit to the Wedding: First Dance dimension — your friends and family are all gathered ‘round, yet somehow it seems as if you and your new partner for life are the only two people in whole wide world, and the only sounds are the beating of your two hearts and the music you’re moving to together. It’s a dance you’ll remember for the rest of your life, and the song has to be perfect, so turn to our Essential playlist of first-dance perfection to help you find just the right tune, whether you’re stating the obvious with John Tesh & James Ingram and “Give Me Forever (I Do),” communing with the two-part country harmonies of Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, and “It’s Your Love,” or even digging the offbeat charm of Phil Collins and a “Groovy Kind of Love.”
