What was your wedding song?

**The[cookie]Doctor** · October 1st, 2008, 05:54 PM

Well I'm not married yet, but am planning so I can share our short list.

I think I have been disallowed to argue with Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls as our first dance, because it's the first song we ever danced to and Anth wants to keep the theme or something.

I am also a sucker for nearly every Bryan Adams song on the planet, but they have been used by family over and over again so we may/may not be considering Always be right there, but I know I'll burst into tears if we have it because every time I listen to the song I cry

Ummm... First day of my life by Bright Eyes (YouTube it), I am currently in love with this song.

I think we have a few others on the list but they are up there at the moment.

We had 2. "Miracle" & "Everlong" by Foo Fighters. I also walked down the aisle to an acoustic version of Everlong performed by my brother.

Our first dance was to "Can I have this dance for the rest of my life" Cant remember who sang it LOL

I walked own the aisle to "amazed" by Lonestar

That was our bridal waltz song! If you'd call it a waltz!

Walked down the "aisle" to - Someone Like You by Blank & Jones & danced to L-O-V-E by Nat King Cole.

Regina Spektor's cover of John Lennon's Real Love. Could hardly hear it at the ceremony though because of all the wind on the beach!

Cookiemonster - Bright Eyes was on our list too, but I don't think it's quite right as a song. We played it while people were waiting for me to turn up (I was pretty late!)

We danced to "Thankyou for Loving me" by Bon Jovi. The words to that song are just beautiful, if I couldn't marry Jon Bon Jovi I had to have him there somehow, LOL.

Mummy_of_many ... oh, that is brilliant (Abba song - I do I do I do)

... I'm not married BUT I'm there with you on an upbeat song to get everyone in laughing spirits

.... (reminds me of a friends ancient Grandmother who had Dancing Queen at her funeral. So sad she lost the plot in the last few years & spent her days dancing around the house to Abba's Dancing Queen. Oh, well at least it made her Happy

)

Cookiemonster (ASH) ... I'm a concert junkie from way back ... and Bryan Adams takes the cake in concerts. Ask anyone that has been to one of his past concerts & they will rave about him

I was at a Wedding in the late eighties & I hear that the couple were going to have a Midnite oil song as the bridal waltz so I didn't want to miss it ... well I was too busy having a wee in the loo as I got drunk before the waltz had started & yep, you guessed it I missed it

That would have been a sight to see !!

My best friend for her bridal waltz had the popular song from the movie "Ghost" (she got married the year this movie was released)... I've gotta admit it was so corny BUT so them as a couple ... it was suitable

I'd love Pat Benatar's " I'm the Boss " (a jazz version) would be funny !!

"at Last" Ella Fitzgerald was our wedding song ..... *sigh* ..... it was so long ago but I just want to do it over again had the best day...........

**soniebon** · October 4th, 2008, 10:05 AM

did the signing of the register to Celine Dion-How do i live and to I wanna know love is-Tina Arena/Foreigner and then walked outta church to From this moment-Shania Twain(hey it was 1998)

then at reception we danced to a song that our best man had written for us(my hubbys in a band and is a muso)and then hubby sang to me the old Bon Jovi-Born to be my baby,it was our 1st song..lol...im such a sentimentalist

Wow, this thread is so cool! It is great hearing all the different songs people have chosen to mark that special moment. (And Tan, my sis sang Beloved One to my BIL at their reception! Lovely song

)
We danced to a song called 'Peace' by a band Acquiesce (which is the band Sarah Blasko was in before she went solo).

Regina Spektor's cover of Real Love is one of mine & my DH's "songs"
The original Real Love song is one of our songs, and we're getting matching tattoo's of the sheet music verse that says "seems that all I was really was doin', was waiting for you" with our wedding date on it. Hard to explain but I will take pics of it when it is done
