BRIAN
David Bowie’s ‘Absolute Beginners’. It’s a song that doesn’t shy away from the work that real love takes, and the chorus tells us we’re certain to succeed.
CIARA
Mine would be ‘If Music Be the Food of Love’ by The King’s Singers. I can’t think of a more beautiful song to be wheeled around the dancefloor by the nursing staff home to.
AIDAN
A medley of Beyoncé songs à la Queen Bey’s Superbowl 2013 performance, complete with a perfectly choreographed routine and back-up dancers.
LISA
‘Maps’ by The Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Mother DJ, Ruth Kavanagh plays it for Sarah and I when we’re out dancing and calls it our song. It’s a pretty epic track, so if we ever do have a first dance, this would have to be it.
CATHERINE
I’m not planning on getting married so a first dance song isn’t something I’ve thought about but I’ll choose Lynyrd Skynyrd ‘Free Bird’ because I like the sentiment.
STEFANO
‘You and I’ by Ingrid Michaelson. When my fiancé and I were first together, whoever would wake up first in the morning would play it to wake the other one up. It’s definitely our song and holds a special place in our hearts.
DAVE
My choice would have to be ‘The Marriage’ by Billy Bragg. I couldn’t possibly consider marrying anybody who didn’t see the funny side of it.
ELLIE
‘Why Don’t We Get Drunk and Screw’ by Jimmy Buffet. I mean, isn’t this why we all really go to weddings? Why would I do anything different at my own?
