I'm getting married this fall and I'm planning a special 'surprise' for my guests/future hubby. I've been doing aerials for a little over a year now and am planning to choreograph a silks performance for the reception.
I'm looking for a song to use.
Our first dance will be to 'I'll Stop the World & Melt with You' - Modern English so anything else is fair game.
But preferably something a little on the slower side, because that is generally easier to perform.

I was considering these two.

    Stevie Wonder's "You and I" is a beautiful wedding song. O'Bryan made a great version of it also. The lyrics are deep. I love it.

    Thanks! I don't really know either of these, I'll add them to my Youtube playlist to listen to.

    Aw that sounds like such a cool idea!

    My mom is a skilled piano player and she was able to record a mesh of this with the wedding match that I walked down the aisle to

    That is really sweet!

    This is perhaps the most overlooked love song of all time. The lyrics are second to none.

    https://youtu.be/puKWMnfO1RU


    I've seen suckers loose themselves in the games they learn to play,
    Children love to sing but then their voices slowly fade away.
    People always take a step away from what is true,
    That's why I like you around,
    I want you.
    Yeah you do... you make me want you.
    An open invitation to the dance,
    Happenstance set the vibe that we are in,
    No apology because my urge is genuine,
    And the mystery of your rhythm is so feminine.
    Here I am and I want to take a hit,
    Of your scent and it bit,
    So deep into my soul,
    I want you.
    You do you do, you make me want you.
    Send me all your vampires,
    And I can't get enough,
    And I can't get enough,
    The village church yard is filled with bones weeping in the grave,
    The silver lining of clouds shines on people Jesus couldn't save,
    You want to know how deeply my soul goes, Deeper than bones,
    I want you,
    And I can't get enough.
    After we did it by the window sill,
    Smoke rings drift into the midnight sky,
    presently in the quilt that your mother made,
    And a candle burns to fight off the gloom,
    I said to live in this way is not for the meek,
    but you talk real soft and kiss me on the cheek.
    And like a jazz DJ you talk me into sleep,
    There will be no regrets when the worms come,
    And they will surely come.
    You do you do, I want you,
    Send me all your vampires,
    I want you

    Haha! I don't think that's exactly what I'm looking for. But maybe I'll put it on my list of songs to try at Karaoke instead ;)

    I'm not a huge Ed Sheeran fan but this is a really cute song.

    I do not know this one, I'll put it on the list.

    my all time favorite ^ don't really think it'd work for your aerials though.
    BF and I both love Tom Waits, he put 'I Can't Wait to Get Off Work To See My Baby' on the first mix CD he ever made me. But yeah... not sure this is the 'tone' I am looking for.

    Love Van Morrison and this song. Did you know that creepy vampire boy from Twilight did a version of it too?

    Perhaps Love - John Denver and Placido Domingo

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=toYfeN0ACDw

    That was my wedding song. They combined so well together. The only downer is that John Denver wrote this song for the wife he just divorced
