Wedding songs?


Vinnie

Recommended Posts

ok, so my partner and I are having our wedding soon and are trying to think of some nice songs to play as people are waiting for the wedding to start / something to play during the wedding.

We have a few songs in mind but thought to ask what other people like

Drunkard's Prayer by Over The Rhine is a beautiful song...

You're my water

You're my wine

You're my whiskey

From time to time

You're the hunger

On my bones

All the nights

I sleep alone

Sweet intoxication

When your words

Wash over me

Whether or not

Your lips move

You speak to me

Like an ocean

Without waves

You're the movement

That I crave

And in that motion

I long to drown

And be lost not to be found

You're my water

You're my wine

You're my whiskey

From time to time

we had a Best of the 60's mix cd playing at the warm up because it was reasonably neutral & everyone knew the songs generally. it can be pretty hard to play music for a mixed group like a wedding party & keep them happy.

my sister walked up the isle to Its a beautiful day, U2.

Not one for the traditional lovey dovey songs we went slightly different.

I walked down the aisle to So Far Away by Staind. After the ceremony we walked back up the aisle to Bittersweet Symphony by The Verve

Songs we had playing before and after the ceremony were U2 - In The Name Of Love & Where the Streets Have No Name, Pearl Jam - Given To Fly, Creed - My Sacrifice, Goo Goo Dolls - Dizzy, and Slide, Live - I Alone... Foo Fighters - My Hero.... Hubby had a lot to do with choosing this music so theres some random stuff like Def Leppard, Superjesus, Shihad and The Feelers also...

Didn't wanna get involved but this one just popped into my head and I had to type it before I forgot it...

Single Ladies - Beyonce

"Cuz if you liked it then you should have put a ring on it

If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it

Don’t be mad once you see that he want it

If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it

wo oh ooh oh oh ooh oh oh ooh oh oh oh x2"

:o :lol:

Arithmetic by Brooke Fraser - last verse is perfect for a wedding imho

"Arithmetic"

I've been staring at the sky tonight

Marvelling and passing time

Wondering what to do with daylight

Until I can make you mine

You are the one I want, you are the one I want

I've been thinking of changing my mind

It never stays the same for long

But of all the things I know for sure

You're the only certain one

You are the one I want, you are the one I want

I've been counting up all my wrongs

One sorry for each star

See I'd apologise my way to you

If the heavens stretched that far

You are the one I want, you are the one I want

[Chorus]

I won't find what I am looking for

If I only "see" by keeping score

'Cos I know now you are so much more than arithmetic

'Cos if I add, if I subtract

If I give it all, try to take some back

I've forgotten the freedom that comes from the fact

That you are the sum

So you are the one

I want

When the years are showing on my face

And my strongest days are gone

When my heart and flesh depart this place

From a life that sung your song

You'll still be the one I want

You'll still be the one I want

You'll still be the one I want

You'll still be the one I want
