HI all,

I hope you don't mind me asking this here but here goes...I am getting married next saturday (11/16) and I need some help. I cannot come up with a bridal party song. I am looking for a slow song, none of the attendants are couples, they range from age 16-54. Also part of the way through the song the DJ is going to ask the rest of the guests to join us on the dance floor. I have searched DJ sites and haven't come up with anything I like. Any suggestions? Thanks a lot! It's driving me

Erinn
11/16/02 wedding!
11/17-11/23 disney honeymoon!

At my wedding, we played Rod Stewart's "Forever Young"...none of our attendants were couples, and this song was a bit "faster" eliminating the awkwardness of slow dancing for many of them. The words were also very fitting for our situation, however, it may be out of style now....but I still love it:
Either way, congratulations and best of wishes on your happy day

May the Good Lord be with ya down every road you roam
And may sunshine and happiness surround you when you're far from home
And may you grow to be proud, dignified, and true
And do unto others as you would have done to you
Be courageous and be brave
And in my heart you'll always stay
Forever young (forever young)
Forever young (forever young)
May good fortune be with you, may your guiding light be strong
Build a stairway to heaven with a prince or a vagabond
And may you never love in vain
And in my heart you will remain
Forever young (forever young)
Forever young (forever young)
For ever young
For ever young
Yeah!
And when you fin'lly fly away I'll be hopin' that I served ya well
For all the wisdom of a lifetime no one can ever tell
But whatever road ya choose
I'm right behind you, win or lose
Forever young (forever young)
Forever young (forever young)
For ever young
For ever young
For! For! ever young
For ever young

We used the theme song to the TV show Enterprise.

It's "Where my Heart will Take Me...Faith of the Heart" by Russell Whatson.

It´s been a long road, getting from there to here.
It´s been a long time, but my time is finally near.
And I can feel the change in the wind right now. Nothing´s in my way.
And they´re not gonna hold me down no more, no they´re not gonna hold me down.

Cause I´ve got faith of the heart.
I´m going where my heart will take me.
I´ve got faith to believe. I can do anything.
I´ve got strength of the soul. And no one´s gonna bend or break me.
I can reach any star. I´ve got faith, I´ve got faith, faith of the heart.

It´s been a long night. Trying to find my way.
Been through the darkness. Now I finally have my day.
And I will see my dream come alive at last. I will touch the sky.
And they´re not gonna hold me down no more, no they´re not gonna change my mind.

Cause I´ve got faith of the heart.
I´m going where my heart will take me.
I´ve got faith to believe. I can do anything.
I´ve got strength of the soul. And no one´s gonna bend or break me.
I can reach any star. I´ve got faith, faith of the heart.

I´ve known the wind so cold, and seen the darkest days.
But now the winds I feel, are only winds of change.
I´ve been through the fire and I´ve been through the rain.
But I´ll be fine.


Cause I´ve got faith of the heart.
I´m going where my heart will take me.
I´ve got faith to believe. I can do anything.
I´ve got strength of the soul. And no one´s gonna bend or break me.
I can reach any star. I´ve got faith.


I´ve got faith of the heart.
I´m going where my heart will take me.
I´ve got strength of the soul. And no one´s gonna bend or break me.
I can reach any star. I´ve got faith, I´ve got faith, faith of the heart.

It´s been a long road.


Television Version

It´s been a long road, getting from there to here.
It´s been a long time, but my time is finally near.
And I will see my dream come alive at last. I will touch the sky.
And they´re not gonna hold me down no more, no they´re not gonna change my mind.

Cause I´ve got faith of the heart.
I´m going where my heart will take me.
I´ve got faith to believe. I can do anything.
I´ve got strength of the soul. And no one´s gonna bend or break me.
I can reach any star. I´ve got faith, I´ve got faith, faith of the heart.

No advice from me either. I just wanted to welcome you to the DIS! Congratulations on your upcoming wedding.

For our bridal party dance, I used "A Friend to Me" by Garth Brooks. I think songs about friends are appropriate for the bridal party dance, as you're kind of telling your attendants how you feel about them.

A Friend To Me
Written by: - Victoria Shaw - Garth Brooks
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Well you and I
We're buddies
And we've been since we first met
Me and you
Well we've sure been through
Our share of laughter and regret

Lord knows we've had our bad days
And more than once we've disagreed
But you've always been a friend to me

You can be so stubborn
There's times I think you just like to fight
And I hope and pray
I live to see a day
When you say I might be right

And there's times I'd rather kill you
Than listen to your honesty
But you've always been a friend to me

You've always been
Time and again
The one to take my hand
And show me it's okay to be
Just the way I am
With no apology

Oh you've always been
And you will 'til God knows when
Yes you've always been a friend to me

I vote for a fast song. It will throw everyone off guard and your attendants will love it because they will be expecting a slow one.

Someone above said "We are family" or even "Celebration" by Cool and the Gang. Something to start your dance off with a lot of fun!


Congratulations - Have a wonderful time!!!

[shep]

No suggestions here either..
Just wanted to say Congratulations & Good Luck!!

 

[Minnie824]

"The Gift" which is on Jim Brickmans Christmas cd. Its a beautiful song and was what we used for our Briday Party Dance which was right around the time of your wedding. Congratulations!

 

[kdibattista]

we had the bridal party dance to "What a Wonderful World". It was really, really nice!!

 

[mickey1102]

Thank you for everyone's suggestions and well wishes! I think I had my mind set on a slow song because a) my fi and i enjoy them and b) because i can just picture 10 of us out there fast dancing w/ everyone just watching with a few of the guys not being fast dancing people. There were quite a few good suggestions. we are using "what a wonderful world" for our father/daughter, mother/son dance. I love garth but fi doesn't so I think he is out. Picky boy! I am going to have to download some of the suggestions. Oh, I am glad I joined the boards! Have a nice day!




First trip to Disney -- 11/17-11/23/02

James Taylors "You've Got a Friend". It fits the bill plus every summer he comes out here and plays at our little local music theater place. Thanks again!
