My husband and I were married in January of this year. The song that played before we said our vows and as we walked away a married couple was Dave Barnes "God Gave Me You". We truly felt that God had a plan for us to meet. My husband is truly my partner, best friend and the love of my life.

We had two songs during our wedding. Love Can Build a Bridge, by the Judds, and Keeper of the Stars, by Tracy Byrd.
We danced to Please Forgive Me, by Bryan Adams. My mom thought that was the worst title to a wedding song she had ever heard but we still love it!
We've been married 16yrs, and we are best friends.0 -
Love of a Lifetime by Firehouse. We were married in 1996 but started dating in 1991. This song had come out that year and I knew the first time I heard it that it was "our song". After having boyfriends that lasted less than 6 months max, I knew I had found my love of a lifetime in Glenn. We even have LOALT (initials for the song title) engraved in our wedding bands. 80's hairbands were a big part of our teen years too! LOL0

I can't remember. Is that bad? LOL. I'd have to watch the video. I know we played "Whats your fantasty" for the garter toss...but only because it's still talked about and the older generation was pretty pissed about it.0

Our wedding song was "Amazed" by Lonestar. It was the first song we slow danced to when we were dating- we were actually at Lonestar's concert (the restaurant I was working for had a kiosk there selling food). My husband is my best friend. :happy:0

An instrumental from the Neil Diamond Album - Jonathan Livingston Seagull. We were married in a simple ceremony at a friend's home and realized at the last minute we had not selected any music, we pulled it out of her music selection. It was perfect.0 -
Our song was 'here comes the sun' for our first dance but the list we gave our DJs included everything from the eagles to faithless! Luckily they managed to flow from one to the other seamlessly. Although I bet most of our guests were too drunk to tell anyways:-)0

How beautiful! Our wedding song was "I'll always be right there", by Bryan Adams. One of the versus states," we're not 2 people now, we are one, you're second to none. Forever we will be, together a family." I chose this because when I met my husband he was a single father of a 2 year old boy, and a 3 month old girl. His wife just up & left to never to come back, and so this song talks about all of us (us 4) being a family, not just a couple.
On the 24th of August we will celebrate our 10 year anniversary. Everytime I hear that song, it reminds me of us, our family.
Wedding songs are my favorite part of the celebration, because I believe it is representative of the couple. Thanks for the thread!!0 -
Our wedding's in October, but we're dancing to the "Mario Kart Love Song" by Sam Hart. Look it up on Youtube, especially if you're a gamer, you'll find it fun.0

My husband and I will be married 5 yrs next month!! I wanted our song to be "Bless the broken road" by Rascal Flatts but his mom talked him out of it. Our song instead is "love will always win" by Trisha Yearwood and Garth Brooks!! Its a great song and its kinda grown on me!!0

Adam Sandler - "I Wanna Grow Old With You"
Because it is the sweetest, most romantic song and is fun and cooky like my hubby and I.
I actually wanted that to be the song I walked down the aisle to, but my hubby wanted something a little more traditional so we did "At Last" by Etta James - we were best friends for years before we were a couple, so the general consensus from everyone who knows us was that we were together "at last" :laugh:0 -
We got married beside a river, and so We had a soloist sing "Down in the river to pray" and it was GORGEOUS.0

We didn't dance at our wedding being at a Baptist church just out of respect for them.
However our "song" is 18th Floor Balcony by Blue October0 -
We had a bluegrass band at our wedding and I don't dance, so we didn't have any special songs that night (although the band is awesome & I listen to their CD all the time) At our rehearsal dinner we had some friends playing and they learned "our song" for that night. It's a really old song called "Be Boppa Lula". (you can find it on youtube if you want to hear it)0

Barry White - You are my first, my last, my everything was playing as we walked down after the vows. All the rest, I have no idea. That was the only part of the wedding husband was responsible for.0

Our wedding song was "I cross my heart" by Goerge Strait. We picked it just for the one line in the song..."in all the world, you'll never find, a love thats true as mine"!!0

Well, we got married on the Beach in Jamaica but the music I chose for her to walk down the isle to was:
"She's everything " by Brad Paisley
She's a yellow pair of running shoes
A holey pair of jeans
She looks great in cheap sunglasses
She looks great in anything
She's I want a piece of chocolate
Take me to a movie
She's I can't find a thing to wear
Now and then she's moody
She's a Saturn with a sunroof
With her brown hair a-blowin
She's a soft place to land
And a good feeling knowing
She's a warm conversation
That I wouldn't miss for nothing
She's a fighter when she's mad
And she's a lover when she's loving
[Chorus]
And she's everything I ever wanted
And everything I need
I talk about her, I go on and on and on
because she's everything to me
She's a Saturday out on the town
And a church girl on Sunday
She's a cross around her neck
And a cuss word 'cause its Monday
She's a bubble bath and candles
Baby come and kiss me
She's a one glass of wine
And she's feeling kinda tipsy
She's the giver I wish I could be
And the stealer of the covers
She's a picture in my wallet
Of my unborn children's mother
She's the hand that I'm holding
When I'm on my knees and praying
She's the answer to my prayer
And she's the song that I'm playing
[Repeat chorus]
She's the voice I love to hear
Someday when I'm ninety
She's that wooden rocking chair
I want rocking right beside me
Everyday that passes
I only love her more
Yeah, she's the one
That I'd lay down my own life for
And she's everything I ever wanted
And everything I need
She's everything to me
Yeah she's everything to me
Everything I ever wanted
And everything I need
She's everything to me
Yeah shes everything to me
everything to me
This somg pretty well describes my wife and how I felt about here then and still now 5 years later.0 -
"Fly Me to the Moon" - Astrud Gilberto version. 5 years ago next month! I wanted Sinatra, but Astrud did a great job. I will always love the lyrics to this song. For a while we thought it would be 10 thousand bicycles since we were bicycle fanatics, but changed that :-)0

I got married in July of last year but it was a private wedding for finacial reasons but when we were planning on having a real wedding it was Dave Barnes "God Gave me You" because my hubby heard the song right after he bought my engagement ring and felt like it was ment to be. He is truly my best friend, I have told him things I would never in a million years tell my best girl friends. I feel that we are ment to always be together and that God planned for i to be that way.0

Ours was Journey's "Faithfully" We danced we cried we had a great time... I can't hear that song without tearing up a little! The reason we picked it was because my husband loves Journey... He lived in the Bay area for a couple years while in college and really likes them because of it. I picked Faithfully because of the lyrics... It's basically us. "I'm forever yours, faithfully" meaning I will never be with another, forever I am yours and yours alone! :-) Congrats to all the married people out there!!0

Married 1973 "Never My Love" , sung by the Association. I picked the song out when I was about 14, when I heard it on the AM station. Ran out and bought the 45 rpm vinyl record. My love of that song has never ended, but sadly the marriage did. The bonus is, I have a friend for life, or "as long as we both shall live".0

Our wedding song (our first dance) was "Longer", although I can't remember who it was by...that was over 30 years ago! But for our 25th anniversary, we had a big party and our first dance was Shania Twain "Your Still the One". The lyrics are "they said I'll bet, they'll never make it but just look at us now."
We got married at 19 amid a lot of controversy, (his parents were dead set against it, mine thought we would be OK) and his mother did everything she could to break us up-including calling my aunt to see if she could "talk some sense into me". Even now, 30 years and 5 kids later, his mother still says we made a mistake getting married so young!0 -
I can't remember. Is that bad? LOL. I'd have to watch the video. I know we played "Whats your fantasty" for the garter toss...but only because it's still talked about and the older generation was pretty pissed about it.
LOL!
hahaha! Our garter toss song was going to be "PYT" by Micheal Jackson0 -
We used "Luna" (by Smashing Pumpkins) for our first dance. I was a banquet hall bartender for years, so I really wanted something I hadn't heard done to death already. We had an outdoor wedding with classical orchestra music beforehand, but after the ceremony we had our DJ blast out "Ain't No Stopping Us Now" (McFadden & Whitehead) as the crowd broke up and walked across the park to the hall for the reception...it defintely set the mood for the party portion of the evening!0

We got married ten days ago (August 6th)- We had two songs, I walked down the aisle to the first verse of "Dusk and Summer" by Dashboard Confessional
She smiled in a big way, the way a girl like that smiles
When the world is hers and she held your eyes
Out in the breezeway down by the shore in the lazy summer
And she pulled you in, and she bit your lip, and she made you hers
She looked deep into you as you lay together quiet in the grasp of dusk and summer
And then we didn't have a "traditional" reception, we instead did a cocktail party afterwards and had no dancing... except for one song, which was "Vanilla Twilight" by Owl City. We chose that song because he is in the military and ends up deploying every other year (but, yay, it just got reduced to 9 month deployments) and the song is about missing the other person while they're gone. Plus, he left for two months at 4am the morning after our wedding.0 -
"I BELIEVE IN YOU AND ME" by Whitney Houston. Our Wedding dance rocked since we both can dance.0

We too had a small wedding. We had maybe 20 people at our wedding and not a big reception. But at our 5 year, we plan on doing the renewal bigger and closer to home for me so that more family could make it.
Every line of God Gave Me You reminds me so much of my husband. I almost cry everytime cause he makes me so happy and is such a strong partner.0 -
