nice thread. my wife and i each chose a song for one another. she chose "there you'll be" by faith hill for me. and i chose "the lady in my life" by michael jackson for her. we slow danced to MJ at the reception. it was funny: i was worried because "the lady in my life" is almost six minutes long. when i prepared the CD for the band, i considered editing it down to 2 and 1/2-3 minutes. i figured it would kinda drag on too long. anyway, in the end i left it as is. now, in the greek tradition, people come up to the couple while they are dancing and throw money on them! so during the whole song, we're getting showered with dollar bills, $10s and $20s too!! i told my wife, "glad i chose a six-minute song for our first dance!" in fact, if i could do it all over again, i think i'd pick the 12" version of "america"!!

My hubby and I had a star crossed lovers experience. I had a crush on him all through high school, and we kissed one time in 9th grade. I had it bad, that's all I know.

So it was Savage Garden "I Knew I Loved You"

Crazy U is an interesting choice, I've never heard of it being used, but nice.
A friend of mine used Alexa De Paris as her wedding song...[/quote




LMAO My husband WAS the DJ!!!! That's what makes it even worse.

The wedding party came out to "All My Life"- K-ci & JoJo
Bride came out to "Spend My Life-- Eric Benet w/ Tamia
First dance was "Adore"- I forget thet guy's name



And today is my 3 year anniversary!!!

"Hard headed woman" by Cat Stevens - now he's gone and become Abdul Mustafa or something and I can't stand the song

I chose for my niece. The Wedding Song - Smokey Robinson.

June7, Ribbon in the Sky is one of my all time favorites.

his name is "Yusef Islam" and before u makeany ignorant remarks about someone's religion and faith. thestory confirmed by Cat Himself..... he was renting a home in the late 70's, and went out for a swim, and he went out to far and was drowning immediately he prayed and said " if u get me back to land i will serve you for the rest of my life"

this is why he chose Islam.so again before u make any rude or ignorant suggestions, please decide to think before u speak. sorry to be off topic, but i saw this and had 2 say something.

I love that song! Did you know that Prince inspired that song?
The lead singer said that he was watching a Prince interview,
(Oprah I think), and it hit him hard that Prince said that he
had known Mayte in a different life...hence, I knew I loved you....

And NOTHING ELSE...MATTERS!
These 2 were keeping it real...

He and I didn't have a wedding song... we did have a "Heather asked for a divorce" song, though... it is one he made up but it is a little too explicit to type here.

Well, we salute you.

Just kidding! Fooled you fuckers!

We just had some classical shit for the ceremony...A good friend of ours had a killer three-man jazz combo, so we had him play the piano as we walked off stage, and then the whole combo broke out for the reception immediately afterwards. It ruled.

There wasn't any "wedding song" per se, as we didn't do any dancing. I couldn't dance to save my own nutz, so I forbid any dancing at my wedding!

When my aunty got engaged and they had a party for it, her now husband who plays guitar serrenaded her infront of us all...sang and played 'Three Times a Lady' by Lionel Richie ...omg it was incredibly sweet!!!

BKW, you didn't actually believe that, did you? I hope you have better faith in my tastes than THAT!

Didn't you ride off in your pick-up truck to the tune of "You Shook Me All Night Long"?

Milty said:

Bloody Great Choice. Not All Will Agree But That Is An Awesome Pick....

bkw said:

Dammit....maybe I'll just go back to lurking again for another few months....

Actually, we rode off in our truck to the tune of Skynyrd's That Smell. It was a classy affair.
