my oldest is getting married in July. She's marrying her h.s. sweetheart. they've been together for six years. my daughter has graduated college with a degree in psych. her fiance is currently working towards his master's in engineering. he's going all the way for his PhD.
i'm so incredibly proud of both of them  they're exceptional young ppl. daughter has colors red & silver...alot of details are figured out..reception hall rented...church...pastor...the whole nine yards. we've already purchased her gown (it's lovely!) and the maid's gowns. she's figured out everything for the head table and the tables at the reception. the photographer has been secured. she's not sure about the songs yet though! the songs during the ceremony and reception. she has some favs but is still looking at making final decisions. she keeps asking me and i've told her all the ones i can think of. they are both very devoted young christians, but the songs do not have to be of a church/christian nature. any suggestions???? i can't wait to share some of the pics!!!!! she's lovely and you should see her in her gown. i bawled! lol. anyhow, i'm desperately seeking songs for submit to them for their consideration...please help??? thank you friends kd

What about Sarah Brightman's version of "Ave Maria"? It is hauntingly beautiful.
I wanted to sing it at my own wedding (I sing Sarah's material) but due to nerves didn't want to sing live and then ran out of time to cut a CD. Dona Vina (spelling)? sings a lovely ballad called "in love with you". Also beautiful. Another idea is Shania Twain's "You're still the one" and there is another typically wedding type song on the same CD but the name totally eludes me right now. Ummm, thinking ............. Celine Dion's "Falling into You" (understand she is not everyone's cup of tea). Those were just a few off the top of my head ideas. Good luck - would love to know the final choice.

Kimmy,
There are always the classics like "Brown Eye Girl" though I cannot think of the name of the guy who did it...the one from Sleeping with the Enemy. umm songs from musicials are always beautiful like Phantom of the Opera. I hope she has fun picking out songs, Jessica

I once sang a really lovely version of 1st Corintians 13 for a wedding. Familiar verse, but not a common song. Unfortunately, I cannot remember the composer. I'll see if I can track it down.

Lyrics... (Spoken/Sung: I do swear that I'll always be there I'd give anything and everything And I will always care Through weakness and strength Happiness and sorrow For better, for worse, I will love you with every beat of my heart) From this moment life has begun From this moment you are the one Right beside you is where I belong From this moment on From this moment I have been blessed I live only for your happiness And for your love I'd give my last breath From this moment on I give my hand to you with all my heart Can't wait to live my life with you Can't wait to start You and I will never be apart My dreams came true because of you From this moment as long as I live I will love you I promise you this There is nothing I wouldn't give From this moment on You're the reason I believe in love And you're the answer to my prayers from up above All we need is just the two of us My dreams came true because of you From this moment as long as I live I will love you I promise you this There is nothing I wouldn't give From this moment on.

Don't let the stupid organist talk her into "Here Comes the Bride" (unless thats what she wants). I wanted Pachabel's Canon in D and she talked me out of it (razzafrazzin old lady...).
Anyway, for our first dance we used "My Best Friend" by Tim McGraw...it's us. I have the whole list somewhere (I assume in my scrapbook), let me know if you need more help! And congrats!

My #1 piece of advice: Keep your husband away from her veil.
My dad was doing some "cleaning" the day before the wedding and threw mine away!!!!!!!! I had worked very hard on it adding pearls and rhinestones. Did I mention it was the veil my mother wore at her wedding? We got another one the day or the rehearsal dinner. Do you have a dj? They usually have great suggestions as to what songs to use for father-daughter dance and mother-son dance.

We just got married 2 weeks ago and our song was "Annie's Song" by John Denver. It's a modern waltz. Lyrics:
Annie's Song John Denver You fill up my senses Like a night in a forest Like the mountains in springtime Like a walk in the rain Like a storm in the desert Like a sleepy blue ocean You fill up my senses Come fill me again Come let me love you Let me give my life to you Let me drown in your laughter Let me die in your arms Let me lay down beside you Let me always be with you Come let me love you Come love me again You fill up my senses Like a night in a forest Like the mountains in springtime Like a walk in the rain Like a storm in the desert Like a sleepy blue ocean You fill up my senses Come fill me again

There are so many beautiful songs to choose from. A few that come to mind are "If I didn't have you" by Amanda Marshall; "Beautiful in My Eyes" by Joshua Kadison; "Open Arms" by Journey; "I Knew I Loved You" by Savage Garden and, probably an obvious and well-used one, "Up Where we Belong" by Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warren. Those are just off the top of my head.

What about Unchained Melody? Being a DJ/Karaoke Host myself, I can remember it being a good slow dance song, as well as I'm Already There by Lonestar, Back at One by Bryan McKnight,.....if you're looking for faster more upbeat songs for some good dancing, I would recommend, we're here for a good time by Trooper, Hurt So Good by.....can't remember that guy's name, and several others.
