Actress Michelle Keegan (AKA Tina McIntyre) & Mark Wright (Heart radio presenter & formerly TOWIE), are both talented dancers. Their first dance was to I Have Nothing (If I Don’t Have You) by Whitney Houston. They chose the song because of the meaningful lyric ‘Share my life, take me for what I am’.
They also surprised their guests with the legendary dance from the Dirty Dancing movie ‘Time Of My Life’, complete with the lift! Mark had previously taken part in Strictly Come Dancing, where he met Strictly professionals Karen Hauer & Kevin Clifton, who choreographed their dance for them.

Royal & High Society Wedding First Dance Songs
Their Royal Highnesses Catherine & William – Your Song by Elton John – performed live by Ellie Goulding
On being asked to perform at the Royal Wedding Ellie said “It was an amazing honour to be asked by Kate and William to perform at their party. The atmosphere was incredible and it is a night I will never forget. Performing the first dance of the night, Your Song, was nerve-wracking. But William and Kate were very appreciative. They are an awesome couple and told me how much they enjoyed it. My band and I stayed at the reception all night, and it’s something I’ll treasure forever.”

They chose a low-key first dance, sung live by Janette’s Dad! Aljaz told Hello! Magazine “They [wedding guests] were expecting Dirty Dancing lifts and you know. But that’s work and this is our wedding, not a gig,” Janette added: “I couldn’t move in my dress, my dress was like, so tight.”
Enjoy their Slovenian wedding film!
Amy Dowden & Ben Jones – Obviously we know Amy from Strictly, but did you know her husband Ben is also a professional dancer? Amy changed into an elegant satin gown for her first dance.

Amy Williams & Craig Ham – The Olympic champion married her solider in Bathampton, after meeting on Tinder and becoming engaged after just 12 weeks! Appropriately, they danced to When The Right One Comes Along a song from the TV series Nashville, of which Amy is a fan. Lyrically perfect, they read ‘You’ll know it, I can guarantee, when the right one comes along’.
Guess who taught these Celebrity couples? We did!
Paul Martin (presenter of BBC’s Flog It) & Charlotte danced to ‘You Never Can Tell’ from the Pulp Fiction movie. They said:
“We were really happy with the experience. I can’t think of anything that would have made it better. We were John Travolta and Uma Thurman for 3 minutes – and had so much fun. All the guests loved it and I think we went up in the cool stakes!”
