What are your song choices??

Erika, on January 31, 2017 at 10:13 AM Posted in Planning 0 16

Hi all!

I am starting to compile a list of our wedding songs. I'm having a hard time making choices. I am curious to see what others have chosen!

Here are what I've come up with thus far:

-I'm walking down the aisle to- Dream A Little Dream of Me by The Mamas and Papas

-First Dance-Can't Help Falling in Love by Elvis

-Dance with our daughter- My Girl by The Temptations

My FH loves First Day Of My Life by Brighteyes but I'm not sure where to incorporate it.

    I'm using The Boy I'm Gonna Marry to walk down the aisle to, our first dance will be Say You Won't Let Go by James Arthur, and I think my father/daughter dance will be To Sir, With Love.

    Wow all on a harp! How lovely!

    I have La Vie en Rose on my list as well, such a dreamy song!

    Oh, this is one of my favorite parts of wedding planning! I love it so much that I can't make up my mind...

    We're having a religious ceremony, so I do know that our opening hymn will be "I Bind Unto Myself Today," which is a setting of a poem by St. Patrick. We will also have the John Rutter setting of "For the Beauty of the Earth" at some point, and I really want "Ave Maria" as well.

    Reception is so much harder...all I know for sure right now is that my Dad and I are dancing to the Bobby McFerrin version of "Hush Little Baby." First dance is harder...FH wants something we can rock out to (mostly because his version of dancing involves a lot of jumping) while I'd rather do a slow dance (because my dress is heavy and jumping up and down is not necessarily going to work well).

    @Holly C our first dance is also The Luckiest by Ben Folds.

    @Fiddlin Brit FH proposed using Follow you into the Dark.

    FH is a classical pianist and so I get to hear him practice. I loved the song "Do you?" by Yiruma, and I like it for a wedding because I plan to answer, "I do!" That will be the professional. For our recessional, I really want "Send Me On My Way" by Rusted Root but FH is fighting me on it :-p. He says it's "too overdone" (???)

    I don't have all of my music planned yet but I know the bridal entrance will be Blackbird by the Beatles. Other than that, first dance is torn between The Luckiest by Ben Folds and Duet (feat. Stephanie Briggs) by Penny and Sparrow
