Looking for wedding reception songs that aren't the "usual" ones.

Years From Now - Dr. Hook


Years from now, I want you years from now
And I hold you years from now as I love you tonight
You are my one true friend, always my one true friend
And I love you till Id say as I love you tonight

I know this world that we live in can be hard
Now and then and it will be again
Many times we've been down
Still love has kept us together the flame never dies
When I look in your eyes the future I see

Wanting you years from now
And holding you years from now
And loving you years from now
As I love you tonight

I know this world that we live in can be hard
Now and then and it will be again
Many times weve been down
Still love has kept us together the flame never dies
When I look in your eyes the future I see

Hold my Hand by Hootie and the Blowfish

We had "You Make Me Feel Brand New" by the Stylistics at our wedding.

At my SIL's backyard wedding I played "It Had To Be You" by Harry Connick Jr. on my little CD player. Or you could choose any of the other 65 artists who've done it. Not exactly unusual but it's such a great one.

"Wouldn't It Be Nice" by the Beach Boys is a nice reminder that the longing is over.

For some ultra cool love songs, anything by Al Green.

"At Last" is a very excellent choice!! Just love that one.

Here is one that would be very unusual, but absolutely beautiful...'The Book Of Love' by Peter Gabriel.

let me think...i sang both "one hand, one heart" and "all i ask of you" at a wedding about 15 years ago, and the bride was THRILLED. i'd also suggest "beautiful in my eyes" by joshua kadison, or "i'll be" (acoustic version) by edwin mccain. i agree w/ the pp-"at last" is an excellent choice.

"i'll be" (acoustic version) by edwin mccain.

This is one of my all time favorites!

I love Billy Joel's "You're My Home" but I think it would be difficult to dance to.

For the "dedication" song to those that have passed, I like "One More Day" by Diamond Rio. It's a slow song (good for dancing with your Mom) and always reminds me of my loved ones that are no longer with us.
