When my husband and I got married we chose a song that we had heard many years before when we first started dating. The song was by Leffty Frizzell and it was by no means a traditional wedding song; however since the song held a special place in our hearts and so we used it as our first dance song. We got many comments about it throughout the night, but no one criticized our choice.
