first dance

Keltickurse, 29 June, 2010 at 21:18 Posted on Planning 0 22

Done a lot of lurking and not much posting recently so finally some news...

After a lot of deliberation O/H and I finally agreed on a song for our first dance, it's not that unknown really but everyone i've told doesn't know it.

we've decided to go with Kiss Me by Sixpence None the Richer - seems everything else we like isn't really fitting (lots of depressing/arkward) lyrics.

I thought this would be a good opportunity for you all to tell us your first dance songs, and also venue entry/exit music (we havent decided on ours yet - i want to walk out to 'i gotta feeling' black eyed peas, but o/h thinks its tacky (personally i think it would be fine on violins but there you go)

    Ah, cool song for the first dance!

    we are having Everything by Michael Buble (but sung by the surprise singer that i've arranged that H2B has no idea about - he wanted one but i told him it was too expensive then arranged it as a surprise!)

    coming in to the church we're having Somewhere Over The Rainbow (the version from Glee!) but no idea on walking out music! i'm sure we'll get a moment of inspiration when we hear somethng on the radio! black eyed peas is a fab idea!

    good luck choosing the rest of your music!!!!

    I love that song so good choice! our choices so far are

    Entrance music - Perfect moment by Martine McCutcheon(sp) sung by my best friend

    Leaving music - Not sure yet hoping for something upbeat

    First dance - Most beautiful girl in the room by Flight of the concords (I take compliments very badly so its so apt)

    And leaving the evening do - Business time by Flight of the concords

    The last 2 really show our sense of humour and always make me smile (If you've not heard them goggle it it'll make you grin)

    Love your first dance choice aecy!

    kiss me is a lovely choice and it's nice that the people you have told don't know it - will be a pleasant surprise!

    We're having We have all the time in the world, but the fun lovin' criminals version who we love. It's such a tough choice though isn't it!

    Walking down aisle i'm having songbird but by a soloist and on organ as no cds allowed at church - hope it sounds good! Walking out together we're having the wedding march ? makes me tingle, know I'm going to cry (with happiness obv!!)

    Aecy - I wanted Flight of the Conchords' Pencils in the Wind for our first dance but OH doesn't want a comedy song as our first dance, boo him!

    We're trying to decide between Kiss Me and Just Say Yes by Snow Patrol for our first dance. I'm walking in to Pachelbel's Canon in D (love it), and walking out to Mhairi's Wedding on the bagpipes.

    I think Kiss Me is a wonderful choice "under the milky twilight" im going to have that stuck in my head now!

    aecy- lovin Flight of the Concords!!

    my H2B had actually sorted our first dance before he proposed! his band do a version of Al Green's 'Lets Stay together' which is kinda our song so him and his band mates have planed to record it specially!

    to walk up th aisle im planning on suprising my H2B with a Sigur Ros song, he loves them and think im not interested in involving any of their music!

    we are going to walk back down the aisle to 'I got the world on a string' by Sinatra! a little bit for my dad who loved him and is no longer around and partly because i think it is very appropriate!

    some one pointed out that i need to pick a long song for the signing of the register as we'll sign it then pose for pictures! back to the drawing board!!

    Hi really like your song Kiss me!!

    My enterance song is: Im Kissing You Des'ree

    Signing the Register: I See You Leona Lewis

    Walking out: We are man and wife: Michelle Featherstone (were quite lucky on this song as it has one mention to god in it which I didnt think the register would allow - they either dont mind or havnt looked up the lyrics!!)

    First Dance: Johnny Cash: In my life

    Smiley laugh

    Good choice!

    we're having 'Never Too Much' by Luther Vandross - one of my all time faves and a song that we've always loved. as for ceremony, am totally stuck and need to decide asap but probably Canon in D for walking in, something lighter to walk out...

    I love the choices! Are they all songs which you loved before you were engaged or ones which you have researched?

    We have picked our first dance, kind of by default which is "If I aint got you" by Alicia Keys. I loved her newer song "Doesn't mean anything" but my sisters friend died in a plane crash and it was the song at his funeral, so I don't want to upset her.

    I'd also love "you raise me up" by westlife but on the organ pipes as my entrance song - to represent the movement from woman to grown up married woman and also as a tribute to my nan who loved pipe music. But we had the song at her funeral and it makes we want to shed a tear thinking of it and I know it has the same effect on my brothers and sisters too so perhaps not!

    I hadn't really anticipated how many song choices were required!

    I do know that when we walk into the reception i'd like "I gotta feeling" by BEPs - I know its tacky but it reminds me of mine of H2Bs last night out with all his mates before he went to Afghan, which was a very special night.

    I often provide the music for ceremonies and my favourite song for walking back down the aisle is 'your love keeps lifting me higher' by Jackie Wilson. There's something uplifting about it that just suits the end of the serious bit and signals the start of the celebrations.

    This is our song to walk out to. I love it! I'm walking in to 'Orchestra of Love' by Liam Frost and we're currently undecided on our first dance but thinking Ben Folds - The luckiest.

    FIRST DANCE: OH wants Michael B - Feeling good
