Hi lovelies, I’m sure it’s no longer new to you that we love sweet, romantic, lovey dovey sturvs over here! I attended 2 wedding parties last week after not attending any event in yearss, that’s not the point anyways. The point is I’m still in my feels from the first couple dance moments, awwwwnn. The dance legit gave me wedding fevers, but I shake it off in Jesus name— it’s not yet time!
Ladies, I’m sure if you ask any married lady the best part about her wedding party, she’d tell you it’s the first wedding dance. I’d say the same too, because it’s super romanticc!!
I really can’t stop thinking about the moments, even though I wasn’t the one getting married, but it inspired me to do this post for 10 romantic couple first dance songs you would totally love, which might come in handy for anyone later.
Now in no particular order and without wasting any more time, let’s go! Feel free to add more songs you think should make the list in the comments.
01. “Ololufe,” by Wande Coal
My Favourite part: “Ololufe, jowo ma Ololufe, jowo ma’i lo
Iwo ni mo fe ni aiye mi…
Baby look at this / You said this picture
It’s about our future/ I want you to be my wife, my bride, and
I want you to have my child, my life/ Baby tell me no resigning
‘Cause you leave me I know I’ll be dying/ And I know if not for you
Where would I have been…”
My cousin’s wedding was one of the parties I attended last week. She danced to this song and I still can’t get the “I do, I do, I do, I do…” part from my head. Totally recommend!
02. “Perfect Duet” by Ed Sheeran & Beyoncé
My Favourite part: “Well, I found a woman, stronger than anyone I know
She shares my dreams, I hope that someday I’ll share her home
I found a love, to carry more than just my secrets
To carry love, to carry children of our own
We are still kids, but we’re so in love/ Fighting against all odds
I know we’ll be alright this time/ Darling, just hold my hand
Be my girl, I’ll be your man/ I see my future in your eyes…”
I know perfect by Ed Sheeran is sweet, but the duet with Beyoncé is sweeter. If you want some romanss, please dance to this at your wedding.
03. “All of me” by John Legend
My Favourite part: “’Cause all of me loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me, I’ll give my all to you
You’re my end and my beginning
Even when I lose, I’m winning…”
Awwwwnnnnn, are you not feeling this mushy feelings too?

Girl I’m so amazed at all the things you do
Yes I wanna build my whole world around you
So I promise you forever and for always
Girl you are my sunshine baby don’t you go away…”

My favourite part: “You’re my melody/ My sweet baby
The one wey dey make my heart/ Go jimjim and shake body

08. “Running to you” by Chike & Simi
My favourite part: “I’ll be a soldier for you
I’m gettin’ better in Kung Fu
You should know I got you/ And you don’t need to get me too
I’ll be right beside you/ In anythin’ that you do
If you ever need saving/ I will be running to you
Running, running, running to you
I’ll be running to you
Running, running, running to you
Anywhere that you go to…”
09. “Yes or No” by Banky W
My favourite part: “Friends telling you to just say no
Baby no answer olofofo
This guy is feeling it in my soul/ So would you be my lover, now
I am doing things I’ve never done/ I am giving all I have to give
I’m feeling like I found the one/ Say you’ll be my lover please
What am I to say?
Tired of running around no delay
Make you no go look Uche face
So this time you dey waste, you go make me crazy…”
10. “Roju” by Chike
My favourite part: “Give me your heart I no go run away
