A worked example
Meet Hannah & Ryan, our example couple
They're invented, but many couples share similar quirks. This is the kind of detail families send us, and what we do with it.
Hannah & Ryan
Met via a stolen picnic, nine-hour first date, Snowdon rain proposal.
- Dog stole Hannah's picnic in the park
- First date lasted nine hours
- Proposal halfway up Snowdon in horizontal rain
- Dreamed of a view, got a mountain
What they told us
We're getting married in May and we can't pick a first dance because no song is actually about us. So: we met when his dog stole my picnic in the park, our first date lasted nine hours, and he proposed halfway up Snowdon in horizontal rain because I'd said I wanted 'a view'. We want to dance to our own story.
The sort of thing a bride might send us

Verse 1 - Ryan
There was a dog and half a stolen sandwichA girl who laughed instead of getting madHe didn't know that it would go this farWhen Barney ran off with her picnic bag
Verse 2 - Hannah
We sat down on that blanket in the sunJust meant to talk a minute, maybe twoNine hours later, we were still there talkingThe stars came out before I noticed you
Chorus - Both
No song was ever written for usNo one else has a story like thisA dog, a park, a park bench full of laughingThis is ours, this is us
Verse 3 - Ryan
You said you wanted a view, one daySo I took you walking up through the rainSnowdon in the mist, we couldn't see a thingI got down on one knee anyway
Verse 4 - Hannah
Horizontal rain, your hands were shakingSoaked right through, and neither of us caredI said yes before you'd finished askingBest view I've ever seen was you right there
Chorus - Both
No song was ever written for usNo one else has a story like thisA dog, a park, a mountain in the weatherThis is ours, this is us
Bridge - Ryan then Hannah
Every story needs a little chaosA stolen lunch, a wrong turn in the fogWe didn't plan a single part of thisGuess we've got a lot to thank that dog
Final Chorus - Both
No song was ever written for usSo we wrote our own, and here it isA dog, a park, nine hours we lost count ofA mountain and a rainy kissThis is ours, this is us
Outro - Both
Whatever comes, whatever weatherBetter views when we're together
Every song is written from scratch for one couple only. Hannah & Ryan's came from a stolen picnic, a marathon date and a mountain proposal. Yours will come from the moments you share.

What to put in a custom first dance song
You don't need to be a poet. Just send us the details that matter, and we'll turn them into verses.
How you met
The funny, odd or sweet moment that brought you together: the stolen picnic, the misplaced umbrella, the surprise encounter.
The first date
How long it lasted, where you went, what you talked about. A marathon coffee, a sunset walk, a night that never ended.
The proposal
Location, weather, a line you said, a promise you made. Snowdon in rain, a rooftop at sunrise, a quiet garden bench.
A shared dream or joke
The phrase you keep saying, the song you both love, the nickname that makes you smile.
Styles that suit a first dance
Pick the vibe that matches your wedding, or choose Surprise me and we'll match it to your story.
Acoustic pop
Bright guitars and soft beats let the lyrics shine, perfect for a joyous first-dance moment.
Modern ballad
Slow piano and warm strings give the song an intimate, timeless feel.
Indie folk
Gentle strings and a relaxed rhythm create a cosy, heartfelt atmosphere.
The moment it plays
Picture the dance when it starts
Between the first toast and the cake, the music begins and the room holds its breath.
The first step
The opening bars cue their eyes to meet, and they smile as the story of their love begins to play.
The quiet hush
All phones go silent, guests sway, and the couple feels the world shrink to just them.
The memory replay
Later, they replay the song in the car, at anniversaries, and the first-dance feeling never fades.
