The first dance between a married couple has become one of the biggest moments of a wedding. Couples can spend hours on just this moment if you count dance classes or choreographing a routine. We have gone over some tips for creating a wonderful first dance in the past. The biggest part of the dance is the music! If you’re looking for a song to showcase the love and passion of your relationship, you’ve come to the right place. Complete Weddings + Events Houston has created a list of some of the most romantic song choices for your first dance as a married couple.
Romantic First Dance Songs
These songs are in no particular order and this list is subjective! There are thousands of other romantic songs out there.

Often, dancing to song choices like that can be way more romantic than any we have curated on this list. Without further ado, let’s dive in!
All of Me – John Legend
