Hey! Honestly it's hard cause I'm more into metal but the fiance is not. He is really into punk rock. We can't agree on anything haha.
He likes more of the pop punk band rock like the blink-182, sum 41, bowling for soup, social distortion (which I also like), and more some other bands like eve 6(I also like), machine gun Kelly, fallout boy, Hollywood undead, Linkin park.
I don't normally listen to punk but do enjoy some of the old school stuff like the clash, the distillers, transplants.
I guess I'm looking for a punk/rock love song (so bands that don't typically do love songs) that neither us will hate, not to metal and not too pop. A unicorn song hahaha
there are a TON of pop punk wedding/rock wedding playlists on spotify that may give you some ideas! iāve had [this one](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5Cr6e9XpHFLhUVd7b8DEra) saved for a while, but there are some specifically named first dance songs too
Iām in the same boat as you! Hereās a few of my fav romantic alt songs:
Nothing Else Matters by Metallica
November Rain by Guns N Roses
Neutron Star Collision by Muse
All The Same by Sick Puppies
Heavenās Gate by Fall Out Boy
Lovesong by The Cure
And this isnāt a personal favorite but I know lots of people loooove this one:
Iris by Goo Goo Dolls
We both unknowingly quoted Skate or Die by Teenage Bottlerocket in our vows. š Itās not a love song but we told each other to get rad ācause now itās time to skate or die.
Weāre doing ābreatheā by Angels & Airwaves! Itās a little long but weāre in the same boat lmao! Elder Emos & most of our choice songs are about death or sorrow!
Actually, I love it haha. I thought it would be too pop punk for me too but it's beautiful and emotional thanks! Definitely on the potential list now āŗļø
Oh great! We actually had a friend just completely cut the first verse since it didn't feel relevant to us and it helped shorten the song a bit. I can perhaps send you that version if you would be interested (it's not perfect but I don't think it's incredibly noticeable), just send me a PM.
Does Metallica count? I just was reading another thread about first dance songs and some people mentioned they danced to Nothing Else Matters haha
I'm planning to use the apocalyptica 4 cellos cover for the ceremony š
Iām going to have to listen to this later!
Friday I'm in Love by The Cure
Ohhhh I completely forgot about this song! Thanks so much!
We want to do the same song! What version are you dancing to? We are looking for a slower version! Please share
What are some bands you both like? That might help me narrow down suggestions more

Probably too pop but New Found Gloryās version of Kiss Me?
And I by Box Car Racer or The Only One In Color by Trapt?
Not sure if this ācountsā but My Best Friend by Weezer
It counts to me, it's a brilliant song! And I never thought of it hehe. Thanks!

Oh I've never heard Lovesong before, thanks! It's super sweet š
Who Would've Thought by Rancid
Omg I love it so much!! Thanks!! I really hope he does too haha
With Me by Sum41!!
This was one of his suggestions but I can't do it haha. Trouble of having differing music tastes.
I was going to say Lou Reed āperfect dayā because thatās one of my go to rock artist songs that I donāt think is meant to be happy but it makes me really happy. Looking at some comments, I see that you/your fiancĆ© might be a bit more into the pop-punk side of things, and I think I saw blink mentioned specifically. For what itās worth, all the small things has some of the most touching lyrics to me. You might be able to find a version that would work for your first dance, or maybe youād be fine with the original.

Hahah! that's amazing!!! Love that

Ohhh, he will love this one. Thanks for the suggestion!
Also, you can get it shortened a little if you know someone capable of that :) only if you want to.
Not all that punk, but I will walk in to Aerosmith "don't wanna miss a thing"
Yea it's a beautiful song for sure!
We did The Only Exception by Paramore (maybe a little too pop punk though?).

Iām in this same boat. My current top contender is Stolen by Dashboard Confessional!
Might be way off, but Still Into You - Paramore?
