What are your wedding songs?

Penny P, 11 December, 2013 at 17:57 Posted on Planning 0 19

Just curious, what are you songs for your wedding day? We're still in the process of deciding but...

For me to walk down the aisle..

Wichita Lineman by Glen Campbell. One of my dad's favourites and a beautiful love song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B49YDR6OMIE

or

Halo by Aston purely because it's beautiful https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQt5Wg22rYw

Our first dance

One Day like this by Elbow https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NFV8dHrZYM

or

Finally Forever by Chris Cornell https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekxQHI1cJtA

That's as far as we've got!

Please share yours!

    Kiss Me (Sixpence None the Richer version) was going to be our first dance but we recently decided on another song instead. I might still have it for ceremony although I'm not sure which part yet.

    At the moment we're having Ellie Goulding how long will I love you when i'm walking down the aisle and mcfly its all about you when exiting. Still thinking about register signing music. Our first dance is Then by brad paisley. I love the lyrics to that even though its maybe a bit sickly sweet but its our wedding so I'm sure its allowed.

    We had

    1) Walking up the aisle - Royal Philharmonic Orchestra - Groovy Kind of Love

    2) Signing the Register - Buddy Holly - True Love Ways

    3) Walking out of the ceremony - The Beatles - All You Need is Love

    4) 1st Dance - our band covering Snow Patrol's - Chasing Cars

    5) Father/Daughter dance - band covering Marillion's - Lavender

    The music was my obsession. Every song has a reason and meaning.

    Music twin! I'm walking in to Everlong - it's my favourite song ever and OH gave up trying to 'discuss it' after about 5 seconds haha. I'm now trying to persuade him we should have Kiss Me - the same version, or The Darkness I believe in a thing called love for the exit song. I also love Death Cab but OH really doesn't get it!

    Yey I've got a twin! Smiley smile

    Death Cab are amazing, I adore them. Soul Meets Body and Follow You are brilliant songs that hold a lot of meaning, though I'll have to try not to cry at the lyrics.

    The NFG version if Kiss Me was a flash of inspiration on OHs ITunes, kinda found it by accident, but it's a lovely song suitably rocked up for OH who is a bit of a punk at heart lol.

    I'm walking down the aisle to Fyfe Dangerfield's version of She's Always a Woman and our first dance is going to be Paramore's version of My Hero by Foo Fighters.

    Everlong by Foo Fighters will also be in there somewhere!

    Aargh, I was agonising over this this morning!

    We are having a piper to pipe me in up to the outside of the venue, and outside for the drinks reception (yes, alright, very optimistic as it's going to be in Scotland!) and a clarsach player for the inside bits.

    She has sent me through her repertoire, and although she will be playing all of them while the guests are being seated, every time I listen to it I change my mind as to what I want the walk in and walk out music to be!

    I don't know if this will work, but this is her stuff on Dropbox - https://www.dropbox.com/home/Wedding%20Music - today's decisions were 'Moon River' for going in and 'A Thousand Miles' for going out!

    Hymns will be 'Bind Us Together' and "Guide Me O How Thou Great Jehovah"

    Ours were:

    Walking down the aisle: The Guillemots- Made up love song no. 42

    Signing reg: Cocteau Twins- Cherry coloured funk then Snow Patrol and Martha Wainwright - Set the fire to the 3rd bar

    Walking out: End section of November Rain (edited so starts at the build up to the guitar at the end)

    First dance: Only you - The Platters

    It was followed by Mariah Carey - All I want for Christmas is you which was amazing as OH then relaxed once all eyes were off him (so he thought) and we just carried on.

    Still deciding everything but the first dance, which will be crystal fighters - you and I (which will mean lots of jumping and twirling around as it's quite fast)

    As we are getting married in Greece we don't get a say on the music when we are getting married but it will be a traditional Greek band.

    We are going on a boat trip to our reception and get to choose a CD worth of songs for that which is good as we love music. We have chosen Blackbird and Waterloo Sunset so far for that

    First dance : Never Tear Us Apart - Beck Record Club version

    We haven't finalised this properly yet, but have a few ideas.

    I definitely want to walk down the aisle to:

    Somewhere Over the Rainbow - by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole - http://youtu.be/w_DKWlrA24k

    And, if we have a first dance, we would like it to be to:

    Wouldn't it be nice - by the Beach Boys

    Not your traditional slow dance but it's a song we both love. If we don't have it for the first dance, then it might crop up elsewhere!
