Staff Thoughts

“My parents danced to “Have I Told You Lately?” by Rod Stewart and it has always been their love song of choice. It is very nice and classic.” – Luke Duesing, ECI Graphic Intern

“Eight or 10 years ago, I sang ‘My Heart Will Go On’ for a wedding ceremony. Okay, did the bride not stay until the end of the movie? Leo died and Kate Winslet spent the rest of her life in love with a dead guy (don’t tell her husband!).” – Rebecca Morse, ECI Marketing Representative

“Kenny Chesney’s ‘You Had Me at Hello’ is always a good song for a first dance.”
-Eric English, ECI Business Manager

“A buddy of mine went to a wedding that had Live’s ‘Run to the Water’ as their first dance. Read the song’s lyrics and you’ll see why it’s a weird song choice.” -Anthony Rao, ECI Staff Photographer

“I got to say, the sappier the song the worse it is. With that in mind, I would choose Etta James’ ‘At Last’ as a first song – it has plenty of class. Nat King Cole’s ‘Unforgettable’ is also solid. There are some songs in this world that I would like that nearly all would deem as ‘not your average wedding song.’ But you have to be unique and something that expresses not only who you are, but who the wedding couple is. Look at it this way, if it’s been done at one wedding, it’s been done at a thousand and therefore – done at a million.” -Michael Harris, ECI Managing Editor
