If you’ve always dreamed of having a celebrity wedding but didn’t manage to ever date a celebrity, this list of songs and the couples who danced to them will show you a few things about choosing your first dance:
- Not all of the first dance songs led to a happy marriage. (Note the couples that have since divorced.)
- Some celebrities have similar taste in music to “regular” people while others focus on shameless self-promotion.
- The timeless classics are just too good to be replaced.
