What was your wedding song and why?

Big & Rich - Lost In This Moment
and
Wind beneath my wings--- My brother in law sang it for us

3 yrs ago today I's got married -

Our 1st dance was to Led Zeppelin's "Thank You" covered by Chris Cornell (acoustic) interrupted with the "Apache Song", then back to "Thank You"

We almost used that Led Zepplin song too...but my husband though it went on too long....

Bobby Darin - Beyond the Sea

I heard it one day and thought she would like. So I played it for her and she loved it. It quickly became "our song". Sometimes, when I haven't humiliated myself in a while, I even sing it.

We had a harpist playing at the ceremony... her selection for seating, Handel's Air from Water Music for the bridesmaids, Air by Batino for me, Alegretto from Spring for the recessional... and Forevermore by Iron Savior for our first dance (Choreographed foxtrot... and yes, we had lessons. :bigsmile:.

The harpist sent us a CD of potential music, we picked the ones we liked. Forevermore... well, A) It's Iron Savior and "Forever more our union shall remain".

I walked down the isle to Chrisette Michelle "Golden"
I had my husband Serenaded to India Arie "Beautiful Surprise"
We lit our unity candle to Yolanda Adams "Alwaysness of God"
We went down the isle as husband and wife to Steve Wonder "Signed, Sealed Delivered"

Awesome taste in music!!!!

We got married in the late 80's.

Our official song was "Songbird" by Fleetwood Mac mostly because we could slow dance to it.

Our unofficial song was "White Wedding" by Billy Idol. That really got the room going.

Remember this was the 80's.

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

This somg pretty well describes my wife and how I felt about here then and still now 5 years later.

That sounds lovely! But if I was ever compared to a Saturn, even with a sunroof, I'd be seriously pissed off!

It should have been Highway to Hell.

It should have been Highway to Hell.

OH MY that was my 1st marriage!

Mercury Rev's 'Car Wash Hair'

Back when I was thinner, cooler and played in a band, I saw my wife at a coffee shop and desperately wanted to meet her. I saw a friend of mine talking to her and begged him to introduce us. So I talked to this amazing, beautiful girl in the most charming way I could. I was funny. I was clever. I didn't stutter. I didn't fart. I asked for her phone number. She reluctantly told me that she had just gotten out of a relationship and was carrying around a lot of baggage. In today's parlance, that means I didn't get her digits. I was crushed, but knew enough not to be a pest, and was grateful for her honest answer. I left and simply assumed she wasn't interested.

Six months later I was at a different coffee shop. My future wife was sitting with a friend of hers. I came over to their table to tell them about a show my band was playing later at Tower Records. I was flirting with future wife's friend. Remember, I had assumed future wife was not interested - and I know how to take a hint. And I flirted with everything. I didn't know this at the time, but as I walked away my wife began to realize just how cute and charming I am. She decided she was going to find me and tell me this.

As luck would have it, Mercury Rev was playing two days later. My wife knew I liked this band and felt certain I would be at this show. So she went. Looking for me. Many of you might describe this as stalking. I know I have. But stalking laws were not on the books yet in Texas.

Future wife shows up at the Mercury Rev show. She finds me in the audience and tells me she has decided she has a crush on me, and gives me her phone number. I actually still have that piece of paper (had it laminated weeks later). That was November 5, 1995. We were married March 9, 1997 and danced outside to Mercury Rev's 'Car Wash Hair.'

I won't for a second pretend to fully understand what is going on the video. The meaning for us was the song.

"Stay with You" by John Legend I loved the message :-)

"You Are the Best Thing"
Ray Lamontagne

"Just You and I" by Eddie Rabbitt and Crystal Gayle.

26 years later, it's "Just you and I, a son, a daughter, a rabbit, 2 dogs and an aquarium full of fish!!!

I'm going to have to get out the video when I get home... for the life of me I can't remember the name of the main song we had during the ceremony! (glad the hubs is NOT on this site, he'd be SHOCKED!)

:noway:

Last song before the bride's entrance was "Blue River" by Peter Mayer. Most of you probably don't know this song, but it's about what love is as opposed to how it is perceived culturally. Our first dance was "For Sentimental Reasons" by Nat King Cole. The reason for this should be a no-brainer, yes?
