Songs for My Wedding??????

Congratulations!!!!

I really liked the suggestion of James Taylor's "You've Got A Friend".

Let us know what you decide!

Hi M.! My brother gave me away at my wedding and he picked the song "Forever Young" by the Pretenders (not Rod Stewart), it was a beautiful song. Or what about "My Wish" by Rascal Flatts? Good luck and congrats!!

My father also passed away before my wedding, and I don't have a brother, but my husband and I cut our cake to Somewhere over the rainbow/what a wonderful world by the hawaiin guy that everyone else has mentioned. We still have people tell us what a beautiful song it was. Good luck on your wedding day and remember that your father is with you!

Just curious as to what song you ended up choosing? I just now seen the request but most of my suggestions were mentioned anyway. Congrats and i hope everything turned out beautiful

M.,
Congratulations- WHat a crazy week you must be having, huh? My suggestion would be somgs by Collin Raye- he's a country singer- and I am not into country, but his ballads are awesome. There are a ton of great songs and you can find all the lyrics on his website (www.collinraye.com) so perhaps you could pick out a great song. Here is just one that might be appropriate:

In This Life

In This Life
(Mark Reid/Allen Shawblin)

For all I've been blessed with in this life
There was an emptiness in me
I was imprisoned by the power of gold
But one honest touch could set me free

Let the world stop turnin'
Let the sun stop burnin'
Let them tell me love's not worth going through
If it all falls apart
I will know deep in my heart
The only dream that mattered had come true
In this life, I was loved by you

For every mountain I have climbed
Every raging river crossed
You were the treasure that I'd longed to find
Without your love I would be lost

Let the world stop turnin'
Let the sun stop burnin'
Let them tell me love's not worth going through
If it all falls apart
I will know deep in my heart
The only dream that mattered had come true
In this life, I was loved by you

In this life, I was loved by you

"Wind beneath my Wings" comes to mind immediately

So the cheese factor will be high on my suggestions but I like all three songs - "You've Got a Friend" by James Taylor, "That's What Friends are for" by Dionne Warwick & Friends and "Because You Loved Me" by Celine Dion. Congratulations and best wishes!

Being in the same situation, with my father passed away and having my brother walk me down the aisle, I let him choose the song. He chose 'What a wonderful world'

The First One You remember is one that I always thought was great... it is on the Michael Crawford album... greatest hits or something I think... CONGRATULATIONS!

Congratulations on your wedding!

What about "Dance with my Father" by Luther Vandros? The content of the song is not that great (as his father left his mother), but its been a popular wedding song as he wanted to be able to dance with his father.

or Faith Hill's There You'll Be

or I Could Not Ask For More by Edwin McCain

or Brandy has a song "Best Friend" which talks about siblings being best friends.

I hope some of these help or at least get your creativity flowing to pick a great song for you and your brother. Let us know what you decide. My anniversary was Friday . . .this is a great time to get married - looks like you'll have great weather!! Congrats again!
B.

What about "lean on me" or Unforgettable by Natilie Cole

because you loved me. celine dion

I agree,, rascal flats.. (sp).. the "my wish" song is gorgeous and meaningful. we are going to dedicate it to my daughter and her fiancee at her wedding this November.. that is how much I love it. Congratulations and enjoy your beautiful day!

Hi M.,

This song may be a little on the longer side, but I think "Somewhere Over The Rainbow/What A Wonderful World by Israel "IZ" Kamakawiwo'ole is so beautiful! We had that song in our wedding.

Good luck and congratulations!

J.

Congratulations! At my wedding I had trouble picking a song for my stepdad and I to dance to. We ended up with Hero by Mariah Carey. Good luck and let us know what you decide!!
E.

Have I told you Lately That I Love You by Rod Stewart.

...how about I Turn To You by Christina Aguilera

Congratulations!!!
I hope you get this in time....
My Husband danced with his mother to Have I told you Lately That I Love You by Rod Stewart because his mom and him don't necessarily have a vocal relationship (they never tell each other they love each other, it's the way she raised him), so he picked it as a way of showing her that he did love her and didn't have to say it. It's a beautiful song, and a lot of people know it, not to mention that it could be about a couple in love or any part of your family you love.

Congrats to you!! I have 3 suggestions....of course, What a Wonderful World by Louie Armstrong, Do I Make You Proud by Taylor Swift (I don't particularly like him, but the song is really great) and Through the Years by Kenny Rogers....
Good luck, you know whatever you choose will be perfect!!

Over The Rainbow/What A Wonderful World by Israel "IZ" Kamakawiwo'ole we used that song as well...and got tons of complimants. We actually used it to walk down the aisle.

Stand by me is always good...you can use the updated one..not sure who sings it...but it is a good song.

Best of Luck... Let us know what you choose.

Congratulatons!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
