How about that cute little Alanis ditty you sang in Mystic? Just checking out the lyrics here. OH! errrr...nevermind! My two married dd's had "The Wedding Song" sung as the guests were arriving. I love it, and it doesn't make me cry as much as some of the others listed. Well, maybe it does now that I'm <sniff> reading the lyrics, but I was too excited to really listen to it before the ceremony.

What a Wonderful World I see trees of green, red roses too I see them bloom for me and you And I think to myself what a wonderful world. I see skies of blue and clouds of white The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night And I think to myself what a wonderful world. The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky Are also on the faces of people going by I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do They're really saying I love you. I hear babies crying, I watch them grow They'll learn much more than I'll never know And I think to myself what a wonderful world Yes I think to myself what a wonderful world. LOUIS ARMSTRONG

One of my personal fav's One emotion Clint Black Looking for the feelings That used to tell me somethings wrong Like all the doubts when love sent shivers down my spine But, All I am feeling is pure and simply We Belong And what's come over me are chills of another kinds From one emotion wrapped around me One emotion I can hold onto Wherever it's going is exactly where I wanna be One emotions' got ahold of you and me There's nothing left of the useless things I used to feel Only love now as everything else just fades away It's all around us though you might not see it it's just as real as the wild horses they would have to have to drag me away From one emotion wrapped around me One emotion I can hold onto Wherever it's going is exactly where I wanna be One emotions' got ahold of you and me Exactly where I wanna be One emotions got a hold of you and me.

Lady, you rock! Thank you for doing that and for being so prompt. I spoke with my brother today and he is on board with my current choices. He and Marm will talk when she gets back from Germany so they can discuss the specifics I am compiling a list of all of your suggestions since we still have to choose a last dance song, a song for seating the parents/grandparents, and songs for dad/daughter, mom/son dances. You all are a huge source of information and I appreciate it!

spy, i forgot too, a friend of mine had the love of a lifetime played at her wedding (yes the icehouse one), and it's not your typical weddingish song, but has good lyrics. this summer a friend of mine had heaven (the original way bryan adams, but she used the newer, slower (read not the dance mix) version. ) i thought that was a good choice as well. i know whatever you all come up with it will be great. can't wait! eta: lol about sunrise, sunset. we had to sing it in choir my senior year of high school. it's not really my taste, either. lol!

Sunrise Sunset is for a Jewish wedding in Fiddler on the Roof. I happen to love it, and most things Broadway! My cousin had it at his wedding, but due to "Liturgical limitations" I had to write another verse in it with "church words", so I made a doxology (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) blessing at the end. The pastor loved it. It doesn't really fit with the rest of your music, Spy. Have you gotten any ideas yet?

I put it to rest for the day, Marm, since I stayed up until after 3am listening to wedding clips with Wargod and Draheid. I'll bet I spent 4 1/2 hours listening to clips and reading lyrics. Yikes! Marm, as I mentioned above, my brother wants to get with you about the arrangement of The Lord's Prayer. He wondered if you had a way to record yourself playing it on your Mac or whether you guys could direct connect through your mac computers (I'm not a Mac person, so I didn't catch what he said). Anyway, have a fabulous trip to Germany and I'll email you if I have any questions or updates!

THis is more of an anniversary song, but I love it, Clint Black and his wife sing it... These times are troubled and these times are good And they’re always gonna be, they rise and they fall We take ’em all the way that we should Together you and me forsaking them all Deep in the night and by the light of day It always looks the same, true love always does And here by your side, or a million miles away Nothin’s ever gonna change the way that I feel, The way it is, is the way that it was When I said I do, I meant that I will ’til the end of all time Be faithful and true, devoted to you That’s what I had in mind when I said I do Well this old world keeps changin’, and the world stays the same For all who came before, and it goes hand and hand Only you and I can undo all that we became That makes us so much more, than a woman and a man And after everything that comes and goes around Has only passed us by, here alone in our dreams I know there’s a lonely heart in every lost and found But forever you and I will be the ones Who found out what forever means When I said I do, I meant that I will ’til the end of all time Be faithful and true, devoted to you That’s what I had in mind when I said I do Truer than true, you know that I’ll always be there for you That’s what I had in mind, that’s what I had in mind, When I said I do

My favorite wedding music #1: "My Only Love" by Jimmy Fortune recorded by the Statler Brothers years ago, but not a country song, just a beautiful love song. lyrics: Verse You and I were meant for one another, Today we join our hearts eternally. And this moment I'll always remember all the words that mean so much to me. Chorus And You're my only love, my only love, and I just thank the Lord above for you each day. I can't believe the way I feel, you're so special and so real. And I know you'll always be my only love. Verse Listen closely to the words I'm sayin', I know I've never meant them more, For your love only I've been prayin', You and I are what this love is for. Chorus

Favorite wedding song #2: I Will Be Here by Steven Curtis Chapman Favorite wedding song #3 Annie's Song by John Denver I also love the Jim Brickman song "Love of My Life" if the bride or groom was singing. "Unchained Melody" is always a good one too! Good luck!

Bigd, "I Will Be Here" is one of my top 5 possibilities! Excellent taste! I'll find a clip of "Only my Love" - not sure I've heard it.

Evergreen by Streisand has always been one of my faves. >>Love soft as an easy chair Love fresh as the morning air One love that is shared by two I have found with you Like a rose under the april snow I was always certain love would grow Love ageless and evergreen Seldom seen by two You and I will make each night a first Every day a beginning Spirits rise and their dance is unrehearsed They warm and excite us, cause we have the brightest love Two lives that shine as one Morning glory and midnight sun Time we’ve learned to sail above Time won’t change the meaning of one love Ageless and ever evergreen<< Whatever you choose your wedding sounds absolutely fabu. Can't wait to see all your pics.

Spy, I watched the "Today" show this morning and John Mayer was there performing "Daughters" and Matt Lauer said it had become popular with Brides for the dance with their Father at the reception...you might want to check it out. Also, check out the song "To GEt Me to YOU" performed by Lila McCann....

"Daughters" I know a girl She puts the color inside of my world She's just like a maze Where all of the walls all continually change And I've done all I can To stand on the steps with my heart in my hand Now I'm starting to see Maybe it's got nothing to do with me Fathers be good to your daughters Daughters will love like you do Girls become lovers who turn into mothers So mothers be good to your daughters, too Oh, you see that skin It's the same she's been standing in Since the day she saw him walking away Now she's left cleaning up the mess he made So fathers be good to your daughters Daughters will love like you do Girls become lovers who turn into mothers So mothers be good to your daughters, too Boys you can break You find out how much they can take Boys will be strong and boys soldier on But boys would be gone without warmth of a woman's good, good heart On behalf of every man, looking out for every girl You are the god and the weight of her world So fathers be good to your daughters Daughters will love like you do Girls become lovers who turn into mothers So mothers be good to your daughters, too So mothers be good to your daughters, too So mothers be good to your daughters, too huh

Just watched Where the Heart Is for the whoknowshowmanytimes.. and this is the song they had for the wedding at the end: There You Are Martina McBride There you are in the early light of day There you are in the quiet words I pray I've been blessed by the simple happiness Of the perfect love we've made Every time I turn around When I'm lost and when I'm found Like an angel standing guard There you are Every time I take a breath and when I forget to breathe You're watching over me there you are When I'm looking for the light in the middle of the night Searching for the brightest star There you are There you are standing in a crowded room There you are the earth and I'm the moon My desire is to stand by the fire That burns inside of you Every time I turn around When I'm lost and when I'm found Like an angel standing guard There you are Every time I take a breath and when I forget to breathe You're watching over me there you are When I'm looking for the light in the middle of the night Searching for the brightest star There you are When i'm looking for the light in the middle of the night Searching for the brightest star There you are There you are There you are Nice song.

This is a sweet bride/groom dance song at weddings: Could I Have This Dance ~Anne Murray I'll always remember the song they were playin', The first time we danced and I knew, As we swayed to the music and held to each other, I fell in love with you. 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? I'll always remember that magic moment, When I held you close to me. 'Cause we moved together, I knew forever, You're all I'll ever need 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?

How about this one for Flyboy to honor you? Artist: Harry Connick, Jr. Album: Only You Title: The Very Thought Of You The very thought of you and I forget to do The little ordinary things that everyone ought to do I'm living in a kind of daydream I'm happy as a king And foolish though it may seem To me that's everything The mere idea of you, the longing here for you You'll never know how slow the moments go till I'm near you I see your face in every flower Your eyes in stars above It's just the thought of you The very thought of you, my love [instrumental interlude] I see your face in every flower Your eyes in stars above It's just the thought of you The very thought of you, my love

At our reception, hubby and I danced to Stevie Wonder's You Are the Sunshine of My Life. At my daughter's reception they danced to Garth Brook's To Make You Feel My Love. Both were beautiful. As far as the wedding have you or Marm thought about Leibestraum(sp)?

Spy, there's always the old but beautiful Carpenter's song, We've Only Just Begun: We've only just begun to live White lace and promises A kiss for luck and we're on our way We've only begun Before the rising sun we fly So many roads to choose We start out walking And learn to run And yes! We've just begun Sharin' horizons that are new to us Watchin' the signs along the way Talkin' it over just the two of us Workin' together day to day, together And when the evening comes we smile So much of life ahead We'll find a place where there's room to grow And yes! We've just begun Sharin' horizons that are new to us Watchin' the signs along the way Talkin' it over just the two of us Workin' together day to day, together, together And when the evening comes we smile So much of life ahead We'll find a place where there's room to grow And yes! We've just begun

You fill up my senses Like a night in a forest Like the mountains in springtime Like a walk in the rain Like a storm in the desert Like a sleepy blue ocean You fill up my senses Come fill me again Come let me love you Let me give my life to you Let me drown in your laughter Let me die in your arms Let me lay down beside you Let me always be with you Come let me love you Come love me again Hum hum hum hum hum..... Let me give my life to you Come let me love you Come love me again You fill up my senses Like a night in a forest Like the mountains in springtime Like a walk in the rain Like a storm in the desert Like a sleepy blue ocean You fill up my senses Come fill me again Annie's Song by John Denver - so good to dance to

I always thought Could I Have This Dance by Anne Murray was a great "first dance" song. But Mr_Bandit and I decided on How Do I Live by LeAnn Rimes: How Do I Live by Leann Rimes How do I get through the night without you If I had to live without you What kinda life would that be Oh I need you in my arms, need you to hold You are my world, my heart, my soul If you ever leave baby you would take away everything good in my life and tell me now How do I live without you? I want to know How do I breathe without you? If you ever go How do I ever, ever survive How do I, how do I, oh how do I live Without you There would be no sun in my sky there would be no love in my life there'd be no world left for me And I, baby, I don't know what I would do I'd be lost if I lost you If you ever leave baby you would take away everything real in my life and tell me How do I live without you I want to know How do I breathe without you If you ever go How do I ever, ever survive How do I, how do I, oh how do I live Please tell me baby how do I go on If you ever leave baby you would take away everything need you with me baby don't you know that you are everything good in my life And tell me now How do I live without you I want to know How do I breathe without you if you ever go how do I ever, ever survive how do I, how do I, oh how do I live How do I live without you? How do I live without you, baby? How do I live without you?

Those are beautiful songs. I can relate an experience that my wife and I still laugh about. We were attending a good friend’s wedding reception and when it came time for the first dance, the song was “Wasn’t that a Party!” by the Irish Rovers. For those who aren’t familiar with it, it starts with “Could have been the whiskey. Might have been the gin. Could have been the three or four six packs, I don’t know but look at the mess I’m in ….” If that wasn’t enough, the second song they played was David Lee Roth’s “Just a Gigolo”! To this day, we have no idea what the bride was thinking but we still laugh about it, so it did make the reception memorable.

CLAY AIKEN LYRICS "This Is The Night" When the world wasn't upside down, I could take all the time I had But I'm not going to wait when a moment can vanish so fast 'Cuz every kiss is a kiss you can never get back Lift me up in your eyes If you told me that is what Heaven is, well, you'd be right I've been waiting forever for this This is the night When the answer to all my dreams is as close as a touch away Why am I here holding back what I'm trying to say? Lift me up in your eyes If you told me that is what Heaven is, well, you'd be right Hold me close to your heart I would go with you to the ends of the Earth and we'll fly I've been waiting forever for this This is the night This is the night where we capture forever and our tomorrows begin After tonight, we will never be lonely again Lift me up in your eyes If you told me that is what Heaven is, well, you'd be right Hold me close to your heart I would go with you to the ends of the Earth and we'll fly I've been waiting forever for this This is the night

I had a casual wedding and used non-traditional music. For the walk to the alter I used Could Not Ask for More. It's been recorded by Edwin McCain and Sara Evans: Lying here with you Listening to the rain Smiling just to see the smile upon your face These are the moments I thank God that I'm alive These are the moments I'll remember all my life I found all I've waited for And I could not ask for more Looking in your eyes Seeing all I need Everything you are is everything to me These are the moments I know heaven must exist These are the moments I know all I need is this I have all I've waited for And I could not ask for more I could not ask for more than this time together I could not ask for more than this time with you Every prayer has been answered Every dream I have's come true And right here in this moment is right where I'm meant to be Here with you here with me These are the moments I thank God that I'm alive These are the moments I'll remember all my life I've got all I've waited for And I could not ask for more I could not ask for more than the love you give me 'Coz it's all I've waited for And I could not ask for more I could not ask for more Back For the first dance, we used Keeper of the Stars/Tracy Bird It was no accident me finding you Someone had a hand in it Long before we ever knew Now I just can’t believe you’re in my life Heaven’s smilin’ down on me As I look at you tonight I tip my hat to the keeper of the stars He sure knew what he was doin’ When he joined these two hearts I hold everything When I hold you in my arms I’ve got all I’ll ever need Thanks to the keeper of the stars Soft moonlight on your face oh how you shine It takes my breath away Just to look into your eyes I know I don’t deserve a treasure like you There really are no words To show my gratitude So I tip my hat to the keeper of the stars He sure knew what he was doin’ When he joined these two hearts I hold everything When I hold you in my arms I’ve got all I’ll ever need Thanks to the keeper of the stars It was no accident me finding you Someone had a hand in it Long before we ever knew For cake cutting we used Alan Jackson's Living on Love. Other songs throughout the wedding - George Strait's I Cross My Heart, Don Henley's For My Wedding
