Royal weddings don맥스카지노t leave a lot of room for creativity. You can hardly expect the queen to go along with a destination wedding, or Meghan Markle to tell the Archbishop of Canterbury that, thanks, but a random "Suits" actor already got ordained online.
That맥스카지노s why the first dance is so special. It맥스카지노s a rare opportunity for a royal couple to indulge in something that is personal to them. And because her majesty typically doesn맥스카지노t stick around for the evening party, newlyweds are free to let loose with the tracks they actually like 맥스카지노 or literally anything that isn맥스카지노t "God Save The Queen."
Read on to see what royal couples have swayed to in the past, and which performers are lining up to serenade Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

Prince William & Kate Middleton

"I did their first dance and like, talk about scary," Goulding later of the experience. "I was so nervous, my hands were shaking."
Meanwhile, the Beatles' classic hit "She Loves You" was reportedly the last song of the night, capping off a playlist that included Stevie Wonder맥스카지노s "Superstition," The Killers' "Mr. Brightside," "You맥스카지노re the One That I Want" from "Grease" and King of Leon맥스카지노s "Sex on Fire."

The couple to "I맥스카지노ve Got You Under My Skin," possibly at the groom맥스카지노s insistence. The sportsman once named Ol맥스카지노 Blue Eyes as a dream dinner party guest 맥스카지노 after Samuel L. Jackson and Nelson Mandela, mind you.
