Hiya
I've been fighting this battle for a verrrrrrrrrrrrry long time! I think that wedding music has got to be the hardest thing in the whole planning of the wedding!! It may be easier if you have favourite songs, but we dont, we like dance/club music!
The last song we are stuck on is a song to be played while cutting the cake. So pleeeeeeeeeeease suggest something because I am so over thinking about it!!
LOL
:)
there is an awesome version of Somewhere OVer the Rainbow - sung by a woman called Eva Cassidy. You can listen to it in the web- just type her name and the song title and something will come up!
Our special song was " When I fall in Love" by Nat and Natalie Cole
HTH and good luck!
odette
"Memories are made of this" by Dean Martin for some old-time, sentimental, tear-jerker moments
"Just like starting over" by John Lennon - a bit unconventional but I think it would be a nice choice for a couple who have a child and are now embarking on marriage :)
"Endless Love" by Dianna Ross(?) really cheesy but then again everyone will be tearing up anyway
how about 'love' by john lennon, i walked down to aisle to this
From another site:
Eat it is a funny choice but I know, but I know people who would *LOVE* to play that whilst cutting the cake LOL!:

When I'm 64 (The Beatles)
amazed by lonestar...ive been singing it since i started reading the thread!
Oh gaawwwwwd, I haven't even started thinking of this.
beautiful day by U2??
We had the song Heaven by DJ Sammi for our cake cutting. Bryan Adams also sings the song but the DJ Sammi version is younger sounding.
.....
we wanted doof at our wedding but our dj conveniently forgot our request (even though the request for the music was sent to him the same time the bridal waltz song was & we only told him once about the waltz song & a multitude of times about the doof).
ok why not go something trancey then
or maybe the following djs/bands (I'm just randomly picking from the 80gig of doof we've got)
Massive Attack (what about Teardrops?)
Chemical Brothers (I love Galvanize or Loops of Drums and Bass)
Darude - Sandstorm (there are a multitude of versions of this - DH has about 15 of them)
DJ Yves - You belong to me
Enya - Sail Away (Dj Tiesto In search of sunrise remix)
Dido - You Take My Breath Away - DJ Tiesto Vocal Mix
Dj Inphinity - Dream a Dream
Dj shrek - Show me Heaven 2006
Dj Sweegy - I Give You All My Lovin Baby 2005
DJ Tiesto - Beautiful Things (Gabriel & Dresden Remix)
DJ Tiesto feat BT - Love Comes Again (Abercrombie & Fitch Aug 2005 Sountrack)
we've also got this wicked CD called "Technoclassix - Never Mind the Beethoven" which has some interesting twists on some well known classical music (my MIL has a copy of this in her car & she listens to it regularly)
OK.
How does this sound ...
Walking down the aisle (entrance) - "Thank you" by Dido
Signing of the register - "With or without you" by INXS
Walking up the aisle (or after the ceremony) - beautiful day by U2
Or am I getting too power-balladly?
Other choices I like are:
“and then he kissed me”
“come what may” - moulin rouge
walking on sunshine - katrina & the waves
“til there was you” - beatles
“im a believer” - the monkees
can’t get enough of your love - barry white
it had to be you - harry connick jr
time of your life - greenday
love & marriage - frank sinatra
i don’t want to miss a thing - aerosmith
with or without you - u2
ARGHHHHHH
I have to have a decision by the 13th of Jan!
because we got married in the back yard, I only had set music for the walking down the isle - which was "when you say nothing at all" rohnan keating (from Notting Hill soundtrack), before and after the ceremony I had african music playing
that sounds brill Schaz - I think though I'd kill myself if I had scottish music playing!
some good songs are:
i promise you by ronan keating really good for walking down the isle
heaven by dj sammy candlelight version
beautiful in my eyes by joshua kadison
i finally found some on by bryan adams and barabra streistane
endless love by diana ross and lionel richie
you are so beatiful by joe ****er
amazed by lonestar
thankyou for loving me by bonjovi
are just some of the great wedding songs there are many more i had most of these in my wedding a year ago hope it helps good luck
I know you're going down the whole handfasting path - why not go celtic music in the background :D:
I've bee thinking of that but have no idea for the entry / exit
What about The Ship Song?
For my wedding I walked down the isle to "Someone Like You".... I;ll have a look later and see what others songs we had picked out.
Veronica, the greatest love song EVER in the world has got to be Gorecki by Lamb...
"If I should die this very moment
I wouldnt fear
For Ive never known completeness
Like being here
Wrapped in the warmth of you
Loving every breath of you
Still in my heart this moment
Or it might burst
Could we stay right here
Until the end of time until the earth stops turning
Wanna love you until the seas run dry
Ive found the one Ive waited for"
There's a gorgeous extended version and some funky club remixes around the place too...
LOL - just like a scene out of "So I married an Axe Murderer" :cryinglaugh::
that sounds brill Schaz - I think though I'd kill myself if I had scottish music playing!
I walked down the aisle to "Amazed" by Lonestar - it still chokes me up...it was actually preceded by the first 8 seconds of Bad to the Bone by George Thorogood.
We chose "That's Amore" by Dean Martin when cutting the cake and passed out the lyrics on a small sheet of paper and everyone sang to it...it was hilarious.
mrs R - that's a great idea!
wonder if it would work with "american pie" (which is what I sing to get DS to sleep!)
The pre-wedding music and throughout the ceremoney was more traditional but stuff we both love. WE have fairly eclectic tastes - I love disco, 80s whatever and some dance (mainly inspirational) and chillout. Mr L hates disco 80s, but loves dance and whatever.
I walked down the ailse to "Hymn" by bond - instrumental.
Signing - was 'You raise me up'
We wanted the music to be a reflection of us, which it was. I wasn't allowed any disco though:p
We didn't have a DJ we jsut had a selection of our favourite songs playing, set up on the laptop with backup cds jsut in case.
I really love the band (Iguess) "Bliss" and their song 'Kissin'.
I will try and dig up some more 'inspirational' dance/chillout stuff.
hehe thanks for the suggestion guys! But my wedding has already been and gone (thank gosh! LOL Just kidding) but keep the suggestions coming for the other people that may need help.
I ended up having DJ Sammy -We're In Heaven(slow version) as my walking down the isle song. I listened to it the other day and it brought tears to my eyes!! These are the lyrics..
It really was a beautiful song.:
DJ Sammy - We're In Heaven (Slow Version)
Baby you're all that I want.
When you're lying here in my arms
I'm finding it hard to believe
We're in heaven.
Oh, thinking about all our younger years,
There was only you and me,
We were young and wild and free.
Now nothing can take you away from me.
We?ve been down that road before,
But that's over now.
You keep me coming back for more.
Baby you're all that I want.
When you're lying here in my arms
I'm finding it hard to believe
We're in heaven.
And love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart.
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven.
Now, nothing could change what you mean to me.
There's a lot that I could say
But just hold me now,
Cause our love will light the way.
Baby you're all that I want.
When you're lying here in my arms
I'm finding it hard to believe
We're in heaven.
And love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart.
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven.
Now our dreams are coming true.
Through the good times and the bad
I'll be standing there by you.
(We?re in heaven.)
And love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart.
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven.
And for our first dance song we had.. Bob Marley - One Love .. which was something different. Dont remember what we had for cutting cake, I told the DJ to choose that as it all got too hard.. Oh and we walked in to U2 - Beautiful Day
You can always google wedding songs and lyrics and it usually takes you to the wedding directory type sites and they have lists for every possible moment you could think of plus some i have never heard of!!!
I am getting married june next year and we are having Alicia Keys ' If I aint got you' for our first dance, a instrumental piece called 'Rose" from Titanic soundtrack which is pretty much my heart will go on but with more of the irish flutes and our goodbye song is by Andrea Boccelli called "time to say goodbye" which is in Italian and gives me goosebumps everytime i hear it! But no idea what else yet lol goodluck
that sounds lovely RM!
Congratulations Veronica, sounds lovely! I bet you're still beaming! :)
