Hi,
I am getting married in a few months and would like to take dance lessions for our first dance. Before I start the lessons, I would like to have a few ideas of the first dance songs that go with a ballroom dance. Are there any dance/song combos that anyone likes? I was thinking of the song 'I love you because' by Johnny Cash, but I'm not sure if that matches any dances. Also, what is the easiest dance to learn for a novice?

I suggest you should dance the waltz. Because it is pretty easy to learn and perfect for wedding because it's really romantic. For the song, if you really insist with "I Love You Because", I suggest you should find the waltz version of the song. Okay?

Congrats for your wedding.

got to get on a soap box here. it is your wedding you dance to your song and if you do not have a song then it is easy to get a first dance song. sit down with your betrothed and on separate pieces of paper at the same time you write down the first song that comes to mind. if you write down different songs they can be mixed. however GET A SONG THAT IS YOURS.
sorry but i had to get on a soap box there. p.s. if johnny cash's i love you because is your song then dance to it
