    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!

    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 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!

    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.

    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...
