what would be a good wedding song for the first dance

I think out of Fleetwood Mac songs, Crystal would make a nice choice. From Stevie songs, Leather and Lace.

Stevie's performance of "At Last"

My husband and I recently danced to "Songbird" as our last dance at our wedding. I know it's not a Stevie song, but I thought since FM used it to close their shows we could use it to close our wedding. It was nice!

I agree that "At Last" would be nice. Stevie songs are hard as there are not many wedding-y ones.

Aww, cute!

Yep, I agree - it's hard to find good Stevie songs that are all happy and let's-start-a-life-together... they're pretty much all about sadness/heartache.

"At Last" would be good though - I love Stevie's version! Powerful vocals!!

Crystal was our wedding song.

Congratulations! That's a great choice.

Me & my husband got married last June and we had "Leather and Lace" as our song.

I would have loved to have had "Crystal" too, but it just didn't happen.

It's decided.

I do not care what my future husband says-- "Crystal" IS my wedding song, without a doubt.

- b-side to import CD Blue Denim (1994)
Lyrics

Well I was sitting down talking to myself again
I pick up the phone you're on the other end
Sometimes to talk to you is all I need
To make me feel at home again
We can talk away the time like it was yesterday
You make me feel like I feel when I sit down and play

*And I understand it's not how we planned
But we'll make it
Just call me inspiration
I remember your voice at the station
You whispered to me at the station
Just call me inspiration

And you put down the phone I feel so alone
Sometimes I just can't stand it
But it's all worthwhile when I see that smile
I feel like I'm up a mile high

*Repeat

We'll these past few weeks I've had time to remember
Those times we spent together

The days we just decided to stay inside
To be with one another
And those times they mean so much to me
And you have to know how much you mean to me
And I really really want you to be with me
Cause I love you

*Repeat

Just call me inspiration
Just call me inspiration

I think this might be the only song close enough to be a wedding song only because of the end of it.

Me too, me too!!!

"I turned around
And the water was closing all around
Like a glove
Like the love... that had finally, finally found me
Then I knew... in the crystalline knowledge of you"

^If that isn't perfectly suitable then I don't know what is!

Now that we're planning future weddings (lol)... would you use Buckingham Nicks version of the song or the version on the white album with FM?? I haven't decided that part yet.

White album version, for sure. Something about my wedding has to be white.

The part of Crystal that (still!) makes me tear up and cinched it for both of us:

How the faces of love have changed turning
the pages
And I have changed oh, but you...you remain
ageless

*shiver*

I always thought this song would be a great closer for a concert.
