We had a few. We had:
We're in Heaven playing when the guests were entering
How do I live as we were walking down the aisle
Then we had When I'm 64,You are so beautiful and Wonderful tonight  playing afterwards

What was your wedding song?

How bad I am I can remember the piece but I don't remember the name but it was Haydn "Meditations"....I think
What song(s) do you think would make a good wedding song?

A friend of ours plays in a band and composed and wrote a song for our reception but if we didn't have that we would probably be "In my life"
But never fear, gentlemen; castration was really not the point of feminism, and we women are too busy eviscerating one another to take you on.

I let the registry pick it out because we didn't know what to pick. I asked for "something classical" so it turned out to be a lovely classical piece playing when I walked in the room. In the background was more soft classical music. OK basically, the theme here was, "classical"  ;D I love classical music though so I was happy with their selections.

I totally love this song - it's actually an old song, but Chantal Kreviazuk - a Canadian artist - has done a beautiful job with it:

CHANTAL KREVIAZUK

"Feels Like Home"

Somethin' in your eyes, makes me wanna lose myself
Makes me wanna lose myself, in your arms
There's somethin' in your voice, makes my heart beat fast
Hope this feeling lasts, the rest of my life

If you knew how lonely my life has been
And how long I've been so alone
And if you knew how I wanted someone to come along
And change my life the way you've done

It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way back where I come from
It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong

A window breaks, down a long, dark street
And a siren wails in the night
But I'm alright, 'cause I have you here with me
And I can almost see, through the dark there is light

Well, if you knew how much this moment means to me
And how long I've waited for your touch
And if you knew how happy you are making me
I never thought that I'd love anyone so much

It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way the back where I come from
It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong
It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong

~Liza

Bonnie Raitt has a fantastic version of this that featured in the film MICHAEL.

Just curious -
What was your wedding song?

We didn't have a wedding song that we entered the room into or anything. We were married in the local register office so whatever they played was nice. BUT what we danced to at our reception was more important. We chose "I Knew I Loved You" by Savage Garden. We didn't have to discuss it or anything. We met in chat room on Yahoo! Chat and were both amazed how alike we thought.  [smiley=love.gif]

"at last" by etta james is a personal favorite.  We only had a dinner, no dancing.  But we love, "you were meant for me" by Sting.

jennredd , I totally LOVE Sting. I'm a huge fan of all his music - from his Last Exit/Police days to now. I've met him twice in the space of a year: once at a tribute luncheon to him in Newcastle in May 2004 and the once at a book signing of his memoirs in Nov 2004! After being a fan for over 15yrs, I finally got to go to one of his concerts, which was absolutely brilliant too. Got to meet Chris Botti, my favourite jazz trumpeter, who opened for him as well.

I came down the aisle to "For Always" by Josh Groban.  My cousin sang the song though.  We wanted something fun for our first dance at the reception, so we chose "That's Amore!"  :D

We had a registrar's wedding too, but I would have liked 'You Make Me Feel Brand New' by the Stylistics (not the Simply Red cover!!). I also would have liked to play 'I Believe (When I Fall in Love It Will Be Forever)' by Stevie Wonder.

But actually, Nat King Cole is my all-time favourite singer, and the song I have considered our song, and that we play on our anniversary and for special occasions is 'I Remember You'. I love that song so much. That would have to be the one. In fact, I like it so much, I'll post the lyrics:

Was it in Tahiti?
Were we on the Nile?
Long, long ago,
Say an hour or so
I recall that I saw your smile.


I remember you,
You're the one who made
My dreams come true
A few kisses ago.


I remember you,
You're the one who said
"I love you, too. I do.
Didn't you know?"


I remember, too,
A distant bell,
And stars that fell like rain
Out of the blue.


When my life is through,
And the angels ask me to recall
The thrill of them all,
Then I shall tell them
I remember you.

Forget your perfect offering

That's how the light gets in...

Have I Told You Lately

We did have that one, but that's not the one i was thinking of.... I've remembered now... it's 'Coney Island'.   We both loved the last line:  'Wouldn’t it be great if it was like this all the time?'   :)

Havent heard that song since our wedding day... so i've just played it and now im in a peacefully happy mood.  :)
