    Walking down the aisle song? That's All - Michael Buble

    I agonised for aaaages over my song, I kept changing it. Then one night/early morning I found my Michael Buble CD, decided to upload it to iTunes... And remembered how awesome and sweet this song is We played the majority of the song, my bridesmaids walked down during the instrumental bridge bit, and I went at "If you're wondering what I'm asking..." - Timed it perfectly because the song finished as I met Scott at the bottom

    Signing the certificate song? Can you feel the love tonight? - John Barrowman

    I love Disney songs lol... And John Barrowman has such a beautiful voice (let's not forget that face either!)

    What was your bridal waltz song? Angels - John Farnham

    This has been "our song" since we were... 18? We both love John Farnham, and again, it's such a sweet song. It wasn't even a choice, there was never any question that this would be our first dance. We had it professionally choreographed too, so it was heaps of fun. Once we get our wedding video, I'll try to find a way to put it on facebook to show it off

    Other notable songs:
    Recessional: Another One Bites The Dust - Queen

    I thought it would be funny, Scott agreed After the ceremony, a lot of people were in tears (score!) so it really broke that and put it in people's heads "now, we party!"

    Bridal party entrance Song 3 - Blur

    I loved the idea of everyone walking in to "WOOO HOOO!"

    Daddy/daughter dance I Loved Her First - Lonestar / Butterfly Kisses - Bob Carlisle

    "I loved her first" Scott and I danced to while dad looked on (if you don't know the song, it's sung from the father's perspective to his new son-in-law), and then dad got me for "Butterfly Kisses" - he's said since I was a little girl that we'd dance to it at my wedding.

    Leaving reception Touch of Paradise - John Farnham

    I've always seen this as such a relaxing song, it just fit perfectly. It was chosen about a year in advance (if not more) but it took on even more meaning when it was used at my nan's funeral 3 months prior to the wedding.

    Bubs is kicking really hard now, so I have to move, but I may be back to add more (it was a very music-driven event )

    We had a very very simple wedding (as i was 39 weeks pregnant at the time! ) so we only had one song and you have probably only heard it if you listen to JJJ...

    Little Birdy: Brother

    It was the PERFECT song for us and meant so much. It will be on youtube...

    Goodluck with your wedding!!! Congratulations in advance! x

    walking down the isle song? Yep Pachabelles cannon in D - heard a very funky version of this the other day which broke out into a rock song after the first few chords!

    signing the certificate song? We had a church wedding so our parish band/choir sung hyms during the rest of the wedding. "Will you love me" and another one I can never remeber the name of
    what was your bridal waltz song?
    At Last by Etta James, our reception was all blues and 1950's Jazz, Harry Connick, Frank Sinartra type stuff to fit in with the feel/mood that we wanted to set which was just a cool, elegent, relaxed affair.

    Good luck with your wedding I'm sure it will go beautifully. Something someone told me when i was getting married was to remember although it is only one day it is a very importatn day that you will remember for the rest of your life. But make sure your memories aren't about the weather, or if the flowers were the right colour or if aunty Jo got drunk and fell on the cake - the importatn part is committing yourself to your partner, that moment when you lock eyes and when you are "offically" married - they are the important parts. Soak it up and enjoy sharing that moment with your family and friends!!! I found that very useful when the usual "disasters" happened on the day :-)
