What songs are you having?

MrsWood2b16, 25 May, 2015 at 17:33 Posted on Planning 0 35

As the subject says really... what songs are you having?

What are you waking down the aisle to?

What songs are you playing whilst signing the register?

What songs are you walking out to?

What's your first dance?

Those that are having a dance with a father, what's your song?

I'm interested to hear everyone's choices. Because when googling it's the same songs that always come up xxx

I'm a 2016 B2B :-)

    Hi. They wouldn't let us have Heaven on the basis that it's got the word 'Heaven' in it and our registrars class this as religious (stupid stupid stupid!). Said to them what about bat out of hell and they said this would be refused too ! I did try but they were having none of it

    Sadly, ours isn't set in stone yet what music we'll be having in the church - we won't know until October time this year, when we have a meeting with the organist. But apparently he's a dab hand at doing covers on the organ/piano, so we're not too restricted to hymnal/church songs.

    This is what I would like;

    Walking down the aisle; "Married Life" - Disney Pixar 'Up' Theme Tune

    Walking out the church; "Live Forever" - Oasis

    First dance; "Wonderwall" - Oasis

    Father/Daughter Dance; "Fast Car" - Tracy Chapman

    Fingers crossed!

    That's a shame. Ours must have been fairly lenient then, I know it varies from district to district.

    We have worked the following:

    Seating guests - here comes your man (Vitamin string quartet version)

    Walking down the aisle - Somewhere over the rainbow, Iz kamakawiwo'ole

    Signing register - Us, Regina Spector

    Little numbers, Boy (acoustic version)

    Aint no mountain high enough, Marvin Gaye

    Leaving - You make my dreams come true, Hall and Oates (the hangovers cover)

    We have a mother and son and father and daughter joint dance but not sure on that. Also OH is deciding our first dance song and keeps changing it. Currently I think it's a song by Neutral Milk Hotel that we both love!

    Although I imagine the above list could be tweaked.

    We've just started planning so these are just ideas!

    What are you waking down the aisle to?

    Wedding Party: I'm Yours (Vitamin String Quartet version) or Marry Me (Train)

    Bride Entrance: An acoustic instrumental version of Here Comes the Sun if we get married outside. Thinking about having my cousin play it on his guitar

    What songs are you playing whilst signing the register? Will be getting married in the States so no signing of the register

    What songs are you walking out to? Thinking about Signed, Sealed, Delivered by Stevie Wonder

    What's your first dance? Then (Piano version) by Brad Paisley, I Don't Dance by Lee Brice or Stand By Me

    Those that are having a dance with a father, what's your song? What a Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong

    I have no idea what to do for a Mother/Son dance (thinking about My Girl, In My Life, or How Sweet It Is) or for the entrance of the wedding party to the reception. American weddings usually have a DJ that announces each person in wedding party as they enter the reception with music playing. So we will need one for the Groomsmen, one for the bridesmaids, one for us, and maybe more for the parents. My cousin got married in October and did a different song for every pair that walked in, but that seems like a lot of work Smiley surprise

    walking down the aisle to can't help falling in love a version sung by Ingrid michealson

    walking out your love keeps lifting me

    first dance baby I'm yours version sung by the arctic monkeys

    do We need to pick something when signing and whilst guests walk in etc? We are having a church wedding we are allowed our own music. No idea if we need more songs.

    What songs are you walking out to? Beatles - All you need is love

    What's your first dance? Elton John - Your Song

    We've got a string quartet for the ceremony, which I think will be nice and traditional and we're going to ask the band that we've hired if they can do a version of Your Song for the first dance, will have to see if I like it first though!

    Hi I have also picked this song for our ceremony register signing. It was off the harpists list of non-religious songs. When did you have to authorise your choices with the registrar? Ours haven't asked us yet?

    Don't even know where or when we're getting married yet, but I'm pretty sure I'll be walking down the aisle to 'Glasgow Love Theme' from Love Actually.

    Our first dance would have been 'Amazed' by Lonestar until a few weekends back, but those who saw Eurovision may remember the Italian operatic trio at the end? My OH has Italian family and likes that sort of music, I enjoy Eurovision and the song is all about love, so we might throw in a curve ball and sway around to that.
