Depends what you mean...
What kind of song
If you're after a typical 'awaiting' the bride, the bog-standard song that everyone thinks is so original to use is Pachelbel's Canon, but there are just as nice songs to use - perhaps something from Vivaldi would be prudent.
There are also songs from old celtic or even gaelic tunes, Gloomy Winter (now know for Loyds TSB adverts...) or perhaps even Brideshead Revisited? |

The traditional first dance in this country would be the so-called 'brudevals', the bridal walse. It's always to a specific walse by a guy called Niels W. Gade. I think it's from a ballet.
It's a nice tune though :o) |

I think you can't go far wrong with some nice soft Beatles somewhere with their more jolly stuff somehwere in the middle when its nice and lively, Beatles is easy enough to Dance to,
If you feel the need to disco disco then perhaps a spot of Abba?
IF you like somehting a bit more fun and jolly then Queen is always good.
But dependant on the crowd you'd probably be looking for something more modern like Robbie Williams, (he has a very bi-polar selection), perhaps even some Travis would be good, Oasis if you needed a calmer sort of mood (but loud)...hmmm
Too many songs to go on about lol |

"Fell iin love with a girl" as used in that radio advert on telly
> This wedding DJ says "and the happy couple, for their first song, have chosen 'Unchained melody' by Will Young", then puts on thw White Stripes instead. You then see this kid sliding across the polished floor on his knees. Capital stuff! |
