Wedding Songs

[FlamesAddiction]

Hey, looking for some input on good wedding songs and also opinions on a couple. I know a lot of people here have either made the plunge or are going to be making it soon.

So far we have "our" song down to 2 choices (although that could change any time)...

Islands in the Stream performed by Constantines and Feist...

And Sea of Love performed by Cat Power...

Both have some special meaning to both of us so it's kind of hard to choose.

We're also looking for general advice on good songs to play throughout the night... maybe something often over looked but appropriate.

My wife (just married this past May!) and I used this song.

Perfect because I like the Allison version, and she prefers the Keith version.

You can down-load the song from here and has never been available commercially. It was mixed by a DJ down in the states. Their voices mix quite nicely.

Are you looking for good songs to get people up and dancing? I was at a wedding just this past Saturday and the DJ did a good job getting a lot of people going, so here are some songs that are fresh in my mind (no particular order):

Cadillac Ranch
Locomotion
Billie Jean
Thriller
Time Warp
I knew the Bride when she used to Rock & Roll
I would walk 1000 miles
Cottoneye Joe
Sugar Sugar

Hmmm... that's all I can really recall right now. I guess it depends on the crowd but those songs in particular were pretty fun this past weekend.

Sinatra, The summer wind.

this should probably be in the CP Confessional thread:

we danced to "I'll Be Loving You Forever" - New Kids on the Block for our first dance.


...and I picked it (i picked all the songs)

highlights:

bride's entrance to ceremony: Ice Dance - Danny Elfman (Edward Scissorhands)
ceremony march: Hill Valley 2015 - Alan Silvestri (Back to the Future)
grand entrance: Throne Room - John Williams (Star Wars)
cake cutting: Breakfast Machine - Danny Elfman (Pee-Wee's Big Adventure)
flower toss: Gonna Fly Now - Bill Conti (Rocky)
garter toss: Raider's March - John Williams (Raiders of the Lost Ark)

groom/mom dance: Mama - Spice Girls

there were others, cannot remember off the top of my head. most of the songs i chose were from movie soundtracks. the traditional dancing songs were mostly 80's pop stuff. spent a few weeks going through my music to get the songs.

I tried to make it fun for the audience with music since most wedding music is the same...YMCA, chicken dance, the hustle...none of which i allowed to be played.

Bless The Broken Road by Rascal Flatts and Tale as Old as Time (The Beauty and the Beast song) by Celine Dion & Peobo Bryson are both great romantic wedding songs.

hero by Enrique Iglesias
Everything I Do by Bryan Adams
Amazed by Lonestar
