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.

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

that's the song that plays on my phone when holly calls me. it's the first four lines that always remind me of her.

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
