A couple’s choice of song for their first dance says a lot about them, and while some like to stick to grand ballads of old (ahem, Etta James), others prefer recent hits to mark their first dance as a married couple. Here are some of the most popular options among couples who tied the knot in 2017 – where you one of them?

1. Thinking Out Loud - Ed Sheeran

You must have been living under a rock if you haven’t heard (and secretly love) this song! Since coming out in 2014, it’s dominated radio stations and wedding receptions alike.

2. Perfect - Ed Sheeran

Yep, 2017’s couples were really loving Ed Sheeran – this time, a more recent number that’s proved just as popular as his first.

3. How Long Will I Love You - Ellie Goulding

An impossible sweet and sincere song that won’t leave a dry eye in the house!

4. Say You Won't Let Go - James Arthur

This one’s got all the feels, and has been touching newlyweds’ hearts since 2016.

5. At Last – Etta James

Here’s a proper classic. All together now… ‘Aaaat laaaaaaast!’

6. You Are the Best Thing – Ray LaMontagne

An option with some soul, and a wonderful message to boot. We also love that’s a little more upbeat after all those ballads, guaranteeing some hip swinging!

7. Stand by Me - Prince Royce

We dare you to find someone who can resist singing along to this gem of a first dance song.

8. What A Wonderful World - Louis Armstrong

Another absolute classic that will bring a tear to everyone’s eye, young and old.

9. In My Arms - Johnnyswim

Even though this one only came out in 2016, it’s got a timeless feel to it, and oh so romantic!

10. Coming Home – Leon Bridges

Another soulful addition we are loving, and with incredibly sweet lyrics too – swoon!
