Here are 10 more celebrity couples’ first-dance songs, pulled from this list of 50 Celebrity First Dance Songs! (I skipped the couples who had broken up! Who wants to dance to THEIR songs?!)

Do any of these songs surprise you? Would you use any as your first-dance song? If not, what will your first-dance song be?
