What was your wedding song?

"Everything I Do, I Do It For You" by Bryan Adams

 

[cepmom]

First dance was True Companion by Marc Cohen
and our last dance of the night was Grow Old With Me by Mary Chapin Carpenter

 

[CherCrazy]

Evergreen by Barbara Streisand

Warm love that is shared by two, I have found with you

OK...so I got married a REALLY long time ago

 

[Lisa loves Pooh]

Celine Dion "B/c you loved me" and I would give everything in the world to change it. We never had "our song" but there were definately more appropriate songs out there. Plus our DJ played the long version and we just aren't the greatest dancers.

Somewhere over the rainbow by Israel "IZ" Kamakawiwo'ole. It is one of the best and sweetest songs I have ever heard. I was supposed to walk down the isle to it, but our wedding ended up outdoors and we forgot the CD player. Here's a link in case you haven't heard it.

We danced to "Nobody knows me like my baby" by Lyle Lovett

 

[Cyndiu]

"Just You and I", a duet by Eddie Rabbit and Crystal Gayle. The chorus is perfect for us.

And I remember our first embrace,
that smile that was on your face,
the promises that we made.
And now your love is my reward,
and I love you even more,
than I ever did before.

It's almost never played on the radio, so whenever I hear it I still tear up.

They played that song in the episode of ER when Mark died. I have been wanting to get a copy of it for ages. Thank you so much for the link!!

Eternal Flame by The Bangles

Close your eyes, give me your hand, darling
Do you feel my heart beating
Do you understand
Do you feel the same
Am I only dreaming
Is this burning an eternal flame

I believe it’s meant to be, darling
I watch you when you are sleeping
You belong with me
Do you feel the same
Am I only dreaming
Or is this burning an eternal flame

Say my name, sun shines through the rain
A whole life so lonely
And then you come and ease the pain
I don’t want to lose this feeling

Up Where We Belong by Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warnes

Who knows what tomorrow brings
In a world, few hearts survive
All I know, is the way I feel
When it’s real, I keep my pray alive

The road is long
There are mountains in our way
But we climb steps every day

Love lift us up where we belong
Where the eagles cry, on a mountain high
Love lift us up where we belong
Far from the world we know
Up where the clear winds blow

Some hang on to "used-to-be"
Live their lives locking behind
All we have is here and now
All our lives, out there to find

The road is long
There are mountains in our way
But we climb steps every day

Love lift us up where we belong
Where the eagles cry, on a mountain high
Love lift us up where we belong
Far from the world we know
Up where the clear winds blow

Time goes by
No time to cry
Life’s you and I, alive, baby

Love lift us up where we belong
Where the eagles cry, on a mountain high
Love lift us up where we belong
Far from the world we know
Up where the clear winds blow

Love lift us up where we belong
Where the eagles cry, on a mountain high
Love lift us up where we belong
Far from the world we know
Up where the clear winds blow

"I Love You For Sentimental Reasons" by Nat King Cole

Us too! It wasn't really our first choice though--it was more borne out of necessity when we realized that we can't dance!

That is so cool! What a brilliant idea--an incredible song, and different as well.

 

[Hippychickali]

What a timely thread! My fiance and I are trying to decide on a song right now. Anne Murray is actually from my province - Nova Scotia - and we've decided to use "Could I Have This Dance" for our last dance. We are leaning toward "When You Love Someone" by Bryan Adams for our first dance. (Seems like we're sticking to Canadian content. ) I really would like to incorporate "When a Man Loves a Woman as covered by Michael Bolton.

Our song is "I Cross My Heart" by George Strait. We danced to it at our reception.


Our love is unconditional
We knew it from the start
I can see it in your eyes
You can feel it from my heart>from here on after
Let’s stay the way we are right now
And share all the love and laughter
That a lifetime will allow

Chorus:
I cross my heart
And promise to
Give all I’ve got to give
To make all your dreams come true
In all the world
You’ll never find
A love as true as mine

You will always be the miracle
That makes my life complete
And as long as there’s still breath in me
I’ll make yours just as sweet
As we look into the future
It’s as far as we can see
So let’s make each tomorrow
Be the best that it can be

Chorus

And if along the way we find a day
It starts to storm
You’ve got the promise of my love
To keep you warm

Okay So I had to jump in with "our Song." Our wedding was 5 years ago. Traditional Church of Christ Wedding, no dancing so the music during the ceremony was a big deal to both of us. Months ahead of time we picked out sheet music, way too much, but we had lots of favorites( "I cross my heart", "When you say nothing at all", etc...)

Fast forward to the wedding day, my old boyfriend was the pianist and decided to bring along a buddy to play guitar, we thought great, this will be really nice. Well for whatever reason they seemed to play the same songs over and over and occasionally throw in something we requested. I honestly think they didn't learn the pieces far enough in advance so they resorted to playing what they knew. I was to walk in to Canon in D, well the Bridal March started and I just went on down the aisle(honestly I didn't even notice it was wrong, hubby did). We had really wanted to pick a good song for our recessional(hubby wanted The Greatest American Hero Theme Song, You know, "Believe it or not I'm walking on air,never thought it would feel so good") We finally decided on the Turtles "Happy Together" We purchased the Greatest Hits CD and apparently the AV guy didn't get the message as to which song was to be played. So guess what comes blasting out of the speakers towards our 500 guests? "It Ain't Me Babe" It goes a little something like,"It ain't me babe, I'm not the one that you want" It was a mess! But a funny one. It was amazing how many people actually thought we picked that song to be funny. Eventually "Happy Together" did get played when our grandparents exited so all was not lost. If you add that to my wedding dress catching on fire while leaving for the honeymoon, to WDW I might add, It was a pretty eventful day!

To clarify my dress story, we decided to have sparklers instead of birdseed, rice, balloons,etc...when we were ready to leave since it was dark. We thought it would make for great pictures. The sparks caught my dress in several places and left holes. I actually had a woman practically jump in the car with us to pat down my dress to make sure I wouldn't burst into flames!

"I Wanna Grow Old With You" By Westlife

Another day
Without your smile
Another day just passes by
But now I know
How much it means
For you to stay
Right here with me

The time we spent apart will make our love grow stronger
But it hurt so bad I can't take it any longer

I wanna grow old with you
I wanna die lying in your arms
I wanna grow old with you
I wanna be looking in your eyes
I wanna be there for you
Sharing everything you do
I wanna grow old with you

A thousand miles between us now
It causes me to wonder how
Our love tonight remains so strong
It makes our risk right all along

The time we spent apart will make our love grow stronger
But it hurt so bad I can't take it any longer

I wanna grow old with you
I wanna die lying in your arms
I wanna grow old with you
I wanna be looking in your eyes
I wanna be there for you
Sharing everything you do
I wanna grow old with you

Things can come and go I know but
Baby I believe
Something's burning strong between us
Makes it clear to me

I wanna grow old with you
I wanna die lying in your arms
I wanna grow old with you
I wanna be looking in your eyes
I wanna be there for you
Sharing everything you do
I wanna grow old with you

My DH picked it out all by himself and I didn't have the heart to tell him I HATE Jessica Simpson....LoL...
