Wedding Song!!!

We didn't have a first dance. We aren't dancers. I walked down the aisle to When I fall in Love (Nat King Cole.) Once they announced us, as husband and wife Something's Got a Hold on Me (Etta James) was playing.

Most people's wedding sings are expected. There's a reason certain songs become so famous, for weddings...it's becuase they are very meaningful and fitting. We had an extremely unique wedding, but traditional music. This is a fun topic!

Ours was 'Nothing Else Matters' by Metallica. I didn't want some corny wedding type song and I love the simple lyrics.

I walked down the aisle to "Do You Dream of Me" by Michael W Smith. (sappy, I know). Our first dance was to "Annie's Song" by John Denver. (He picked it.)

Yay, this is a favorite topic of mine too. I think I picked an awesome wedding song for my husband and me. It was Mariah Carey's version of Michael Jackson's "I'll Be There" when he was part of the Jackson Five. I always loved that song - it was so innocent and sweet, and it had that little '70's vibe going which I always thought was cute and reminds me of my early childhood. Plus, I love MJ and Mariah Carey, so it was the perfect song for us. I got many compliments about our unexpected choice - even from our videographer, who used the song to make a beautiful montage in our wedding video that still brings me to tears when I watch it.

I walked down the aisle to The Beach Boys-"God Only Knows" & "Wouldn't It Be Nice". Our first dance was Carla Bonoff "Standing Right Next To Me".

Our song is "In Your Eyes" -- Peter Gabriel.

In your eyes
The light the heat
In your eyes
I am complete
In your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
In your eyes
The resolution of all the fruitless searches
In your eyes
I see the light and the heat
In your eyes
Oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light
The heat I see in your eyes

We also danced to "When we Dance" by Sting

Come and live with me
We'll have children of our own
I would love you more than life
If you'll come and be my wife
When we dance, angels will run and hide their wings

When we dance really hits home with me... honestly because I was (unhappily) married when I first met my husband more then 10 years ago. We went our separate ways even though we felt an incredible connection.. long story short I divorced but we still kept missing our chance I wasn't single when he was, he wasn't single when I was.. and finally after years got our chance. We're deliriously happily married and just had our 4th child. It was worth waiting for. :)

ours was God Bless the broken road by Rascal Flats. It fit us perfect! And its a beautiful song. My husband picked it!

"From This Moment" by Shania Twain and Bryan White

Our first dance song was "TOnight and the rest of my life" by Nina Gordan. I walked down to Cannon in D because, even though it's super popular, I LOVE that song and my friend playing it on the violin was a dream come true :)

Porcupine Tree's "The Rest Will Flow." They are just awesome in general. We also played Ozzy's "I Just Want You" at the reception. Very low-key reception in general. Since we got married though I have heard a lot of great songs for weddings, including "Here for You" and "Lay Your World on Me" from his Black Rain album. I think the latter would be awesome for renewing your vows or an anniversary party. :)

I do not, however, get into weddings as a rule. I am very happy when friends marry, but I am very lame and not a party person. I'd rather hang out and play board games, and my husband and I both do NOT dance. At least not with any grace.

Our first dance was "True Companion" by Marc Cohn. Our wedding party was announced to "Magic Carpet Ride" (the club version) by Steppenwolf and we were announced to "Start the Commotion". I have to say the two most memorable songs of the whole reception were "Jump Around" by House of Pain......and the last dance of the night "Send Me on My Way" by Rusted Root. Our last dance was awesome! Perfect title for a last dance song and the dance floor was still full! Makes me want to do it again! :)

"For your precious love" by Francine Reed. She's amazing and we've always gone to see her. It was different and wonderful, and I'll never forget dancing together in that gorgeous ballroom to it! Truly one of life's "moments"!

we danced to Wild Horses -the Stones, my sister in law wrote a song for our wedding to express our story how sweet was that? but she said she wouldnt be able to sing it without crying (she was pregnant) so she taped it ahead of time.

I Can't Help Falling in Love With You by Elvis (my pick - I love Elvis).

"That's how strong my love is" by Ottis Redding. Love love love that song!!!

I walked down the isle to "Forever" by Kiss, my hubby picked it.

I am so opposite of you though, I didn't even want to go to my own wedding and sure hoped it would be the last one I went to.

Our song was "Could I Have This Dance?" by Anne Murray. It just summed up my feelings: Could I have this dance for the rest of my life?
Would you be my partner every night?
When we're together, it feels so right
Could I have this dance for the rest of my life.

Hubby (who is SOOOO not a dancer) and I danced and he sang it to me while we danced. My cousin totally cried :)

The Beatles' "I Will," sung by my sister. My husband pre-taped his accompaniment on guitar.

our song was On top of the world by the carpender's

we danced to i need you by tim mcgraw and faith hill... i walked down the aisle to when u say nothing at all by alison krauss.....we were announced with crazy train by ozzy... our wedding part danced to all my rowdy friends by hank jr.... and our recession was burning love by elvis.... i swear we arent country bumpkins lol our music just fits us... we like to have fun if i could do it again i think i would pick all the same songs
