We are doing an anniversary dance, and I'm not sure what song/songs we will pick for that. Something classic

I have Celia to thank for the Jurassic Park idea. Never would have crossed my mind if she hadn't mentioned it. I love dinosaurs. I even have one sewn in my dress as my something blue.

I noticed while trying to pick music, I listen to really sad songs 95% of the time.

@they/them pigeon Do not change your processional choice! I would die happy if FH let me walk to anything Star Trek related, heck if he let me have anything Star Trek related at the wedding! I love the Voyager song

Ugh Picking music has been my least favorite part of wedding planning. Here goes:

Processional: Wait for Love by Luther Vandross

Recessional: Still trying to decide. With either be a reggae or classic rock song. I really want Good life by Cocoa Tea but think I should choose something Brazilian for FH.

First dance: Thinking Out Loud (Yup! overplayed but don't care)

Father/Daughter: My Little Girl by Tim McGraw

Since our ceremony and reception are all in the same backyard, we are not doing an entrance song. I have never been to a wedding where there was cake cutting music so uhhh hmmm, think I will skip that.

Processional: "Let Go" by Frou Frou for wedding party, "So This Is Love" from the Cinderella soundtrack for me

Recessional: "Hell Yeah" by Rev Theory (for about 30 seconds) then "Night on Bald Mountain"

Reception entrance: "Raining Blood" by Slayer

First dance: "Drowning" by BSB

Parent dance: "What a Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong

Bouquet toss: "Move Bitch" by Luda

Garter toss: "Lapdance" NERD

...We have quite the varied taste in music.

Processional: Jack Johnson "No Other Way" (instrumental)

Bride entrance: Foo Fighters "Everlong"

Interlude: Adele "Make You Feel My Love"

Recessional: Van Halen "You Really Got Me Now"

Soooo following this! I'm just scratching the surface on this one. Wedding 10/17 - so far I have dance songs on a list and I'm pretty sure my song to walk to is going to be "A Walk in the Forest" by Brian Cain.

Processional: Beautiful in White- Westlife

Registry Signing- Everything- Michael Buble

Recessional: We haven't chosen yet, I like "I Do" by Colbie Caillat, but FH thinks it sounds too "poppy" :/

Mother/Son- FH hasn't picked one yet

Last Dance: Not set in stone, but probably "Don't Stop Believing" by Journey

@Winnipeg I love the Cinderella idea!

@Nicole we have similar taste...The Luckiest was our first dance and I really wanted Wildflowers for father/daughter (dad didn't go for it!).

Processional --Fall for you by Leela James

reception entrance--Happy by Pharrell

Idk what I'm doing for my dance yet. I'm not sure if I'm dancing with my brothers (they are escorting me bc my father passed away) or my FFIL (he doesn't have any daughter so it would be nice to dance with him) or my mom....I need to figure it out asap!

@SwoleMates -- actually (reason #8000 why I have the best FW ever) it was FW's idea. I say subject to change because I can't get her to give much serious thought to the music this far out, lol.
