Are you tired of hearing the same old wedding songs at a reception? Maybe you want a first-dance song as unique as your love — or maybe you have no idea what to dance to and you’re desperate for suggestions.

We’ve put together a list of ten songs we think would make a great addition to your shortlist. We pulled from all different genres to find music as different as your story may be, with a few of the lyrics included for the ones that really chime.

The other nice thing about these songs: lots of dance styles fit them, so you don’t have to fall back on that awkward stiff-legged sway. You can wow your friends with a cool dance to any of these not-so-overplayed wedding songs.
