desperately need some ideas for the bridal waltz we cant agree on a song and ran out of songs

this one is great , it is call How beautiful and is by twila paris is great with or without the words, hope you like it to.
An oldie but goodie, is Tonight I Celebrate My Love For You by Roberta Flack - it is on her greatest hits album. We learned the box step waltz (2 lessons) and it was great to dance to!
Woo hoo not long to go now hun!!
we had You raise me up by Josh Groban.
Other friends have had Robbie williams angels, Time of my life (from dirty dancing), unchained melody, umm cant think what else.
Oooh "you raise me up" love that song. That was my song at the church.
Ahhh we didn't have a special song so just listened to heaps til I found one that we could treasure that had meaning...it ended up being "you're the inspiration" by Chicago an oldie but a goodie. My mum was stoked as she has loved Chicago for years.
We had Run away by the Corrs. but it kinda had some meaning behind it
my BIL had Bryan Adams Anything I do I do for you
we had Faith Hill/Tim McGraw "it's your love"
also tossed up a couple of others that had meaning - Love me tender (Norah Jones version from Princess Diaries), Bless the Broken Road (Rascal Flatts), The way you love me (boyzone), all my life (k-ci and jojo), amazed (lonestar)
and we DID use this as the fun side of us "wanna grow old with you" - the adam sandler song from "the wedding singer" - love that song!
Amazed by Lonestar is an awesome song
All my life By Kci n jo jo
From this moment by Shania Twain
Truly madly deeply by savage garden
and i think dats all i can think of if i think of any more ill post again
It's another oldie but we had "The way you look tonight" by Frank Sinatra.
I can remember how hard it was to choose a song when we were planning our wedding but when we heard this it just somehow clicked for us. It's been over a year now and I still can't help smiling when ever I hear it played.
Best wishes for a wonderful day.
ooh - old songs - we had Ella Fitzgerald "at last" playing as we signed the certificate - love that song
and "beautiful in my eyes" by joshua kadison, and i know a friend had "angel eyes" by paulini
Oh we wanted to use that song too but thought the old relies might frown :lol: Love that song to:
how about I swear by all for one?
We had "Icecream" by Sarah MacLachlan.
The lyrics go:
Your love is better than icecream,
better than anything else that I've tried
........ ....... ......
And then it goes in another verse:
Your love is better than chocolate
...... ...... ..... .....
and it really suited us, coz we are both foodaholics, and if we love each other ore than icecream and chocolate, then that has to be good!
We had Ben Harper, By my Side, and there is another song of his that I can never remember the name of that is great too - my BIL had it at his wedding....if I can think of it will post again... I would just choose a nice song that reflects who you both are rather than it being a 'wedding" song if that makes sense! All our music was like that throughout the day with music we just loved, so we had Dave Matthews band while signing the register, Coldplay as we walked out and the Corrs when we walked in!
Good luck!!
Maybe "Beloved One" or "Not Fire, Not Ice" (although sure you can dance to that one)? Both Ben Harper :):
BG, we wanted to use "It's your love" but good friends of ours beat us to it LOL. Instead we used "Buicks to the moon" by Alan Jackson.
How long will I love you
I don't really know
I'd like the think forever
is how far we could go
So let me paint a picture
of how its gonna be
They day you don't mean
everything to me
When a nickels worth a dollar
and gold aint worth a dime
when they build a ship
on waters that will take you
back in time
When the stars have
all been counted
And I stop loving' you
Honey they'll be driving
Buicks to the moon
Now you don't have to worry
about what comes to pass
This old world may wear out
but my love's gonna last
If they ever build
that highway to the moon
I'll just find somethin' else
to promise you.
Garth Brooks has some really sweet ones, but Country may not be your thang though LOL.
country music channel on all the time here so it's definitely our "thang" - but it's not for everyone!:
Faith Hill and Tim McGraw are married IRL - they have come out with quite a few songs together that are really nice - a couple of them would be good for wedding music...
Some good songs mentioned already! Here are some more:
It had to be you - Harry Connick Jr
Heaven (candlelight remix) - DJ Sammy
I'll Be - Edwin McCain
Moondance - Van Morrison/Michael Buble
Come away with me - Norah Jones
All the best! Let us know what you end up choosing :)
We decided to opt for a more "modern" bridal waltz and we used a Jack Johnson song called "Better Together". Here is the first few lines of the song (so sweet!)
There's no combination of words
I could put on the back of a postcard
No song that I could sing
But I can try for your heart,
our dreams, and they are made out of real things
like a shoebox of photographs
with sepia-toned loving
Really mellow, peaceful and lovely song - I cried the whole way through!!
Other songs used on the night were:
Entrance Song: I'm a Believer by Smashmouth
Cake Cutting: Icecream by Sarah McLachlan
Father/Daughter: My Girl by The Temptations
Final/Farewell Dance: Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) by Greenday
During the open dancing part of the night we had a mixture of oldies and newies so I think all bases were covered. I wouldn't worry too much about what other people will think (ie. The Oldies with the Adam Sandler song - which I really wanted!!) - in the end it will be your moment and your memory and you should represent it with a song that you both love!
Another suggestion is "Iris" by The Goo Goo Dolls
we had "wonderful tonight" by Eric Clapton......still makes me cry....
thanks guys
keep them coming
he hasnt had a chance to listen to all of them yetim hoping he likes one of them
he really likes never let you go by evermore
I walked down the aisle to an acoustic version of Everlong by Foo Fighters played by my brother.... Our bridal waltz was 2 songs... the 1st was Miracle by Foo Fighters which then broke into the original version of Everlong... which was great to watch my grandparents bopping away to!!
We also played Forever by Ben Harper and Gold To Me by Ben Harper, and a few other songs that I will remember when I am less sleepy.
Definitely let us all know which songs you choose.
All the best.
