We ADORE the song Harry and Meghan decided on for their first dance

Have you reached Royal Wedding fatigue yet?

We haven’t and are still mad to know every single little detail about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding celebrations.

Although details of couple’s wedding reception have already been revealed, we didn’t know anything about their first dance song…until now that is.

According to The Telegraph, they chose I Wanna Dance With Somebody by Whitney Houston as their first dance and we couldn’t love this choice anymore.

Slow songs might be the traditional option for a couple’s first dance in front of their wedding guests but we think the idea of a fun, cheesy 80s classic is too good.

One joke was ‘banned’ from the speeches at the royal wedding afters

Apparently, Meghan is a big fan of this particular number and in a 2016 interview with Lifestyle magazine, she said it was her ‘happy’ song.

It had been rumoured that Elton John would perform the first dance song but instead, he played at both wedding receptions with the couple holding their first party at St George’s Hall in the rather stunning Windsor Castle.

The evening reception was held at the nearby Frogmore House and it included fireworks, themed cocktails, carnival style food trucks and you check out the full debrief here.

We won’t have to wait long for another glimpse of the newlyweds either for they’re due to attend the 70th birthday party of Prince Charles at Buckingham Palace tomorrow.
