    I am having a hard time picking a song as well. Our first dance is the only song I still need to pick.

    The Songs tab on WW has a huge list of songs that might work. Have you looked there yet?

    @Skip -

    1) what tempo?

    2) what style (artist similar to?)

    If you want a suggestion:

    Loosely categorized as Blue-eye soul or Jazz

    Slow & Melodic

    "Someone Like You" - Van Morrison

    HEy Natalie I will check it out. I just can't seem to find 'the song'.

    Ck - I'm not sure. I like the song Collide by Howie day and Jason Mraz song Lucky, but they have been done so many times lately. I am also open to a classic 80s love song.

    Classic 80's love song...."I don't want to miss a thing" by Aerosmith. Wait, that is actually 90's.

    "Faithfully" by Journey.

    Both have been done, but they are so beautiful.

    My 1st song is Power of Love by The Early November. It's from the album Punk does the 80's. It's the Huey Lewis song but slow. I like it because no one has it and the lyrics are perfect.

    @Miranda...Is that a redo of Frankie Vallie and the Four Seasons' Song?


    We are doing our song..."In Your Eyes" by Peter Gabriel. After the exchanging of vows, it is the single most important thing to me about our wedding. We have been dancing to it for years. I never thought we would ever do it on our wedding day.

    @Skip - Oooh, love those 2 songs by Howie Day & JM.

    In the same vain but a little faster is: "COME ON GET HIGHER" - MATT NATHANSON

    We are having You by Jesse Powell. I think you need to find a song that fits you as a couple and dont worry about how popular or unpopular it is. It is your moment together and no one will be thinking about anything other then the fact that you guys look perfect.

    @Miranda....I am 99.9 percent it is. Frankie Valley version..."Your just too good to be true. Can't take my eyes off of you. You are like heaven to touch. I want to hold you so much. At long last love has arrived, and I thank God I am alive. Your just too good to be true. Can't take my eyes off of you." Heck, this old fart can't tell you who the heck Lady A is! lololol

    Stand By Me by Shayne Ward. I know most people haven't heard of him, he's a UK artist. I LOVE this song though. Here's a video of the song. (sorry haven't figured out how to link yet) http://www.metacafe.com/watch/2911837/shayne_ward_stand_by_me/

    basically the chorus is "stand by me, hold on, and never let me go"

    Could Not Ask For More by Edwin McCain. FH and I met and dated way back when Hootie and the Blowfish was popular. I lived in Myrtle Beach (kind of in the same vicinity where Hootie and Edwin started) and he was stationed at Camp Lejeune. We saw both Edwin, who was opening and Hootie, who was "headlining" (lol) at a bar there. This has nothing to do with the song but just have to tell you that we dated for a bit then we went our separate ways. Didn't talk for about 2 years but reconnected through email/phone/text and stayed friends. Now, 16 years later.....here we are! Smiley smile So, while Edwin McCain might not be the most popular, it makes me cry every time I listen to those words! Good luck on finding a song! I also suggest just going through the list on here, bringing up Youtube or Itunes and listening to some of them. I had completely forgotten about the whole Edwin concert so I wasn't really stuck on that song. Came across it on the list, loved the words then remembered that

    ....we totally have a connection to that song!

    Edited to add that at first I was looking at the "classics"....At Last, Unforgettable, etc. But then I was listening and this just hit me. So I highly suggest sitting down one day or night and just listening to some!
