A must have for us is the popular "I will be here" which we probally will have sung during our candle lighting ceremony. I do want another song sung right before the ceremony begins once all the guests are seated...and I'd like a Christian based song. I'm thinking the "Parent's Prayer, but still looking. I really like this one song "When God made you he must have been thinking about me" but it's LLOOOOONNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGG!! so what songs did you/are you having? ~~~~On August 4, 2007 I married my best friend~~~~

In my experience of playing piano, it was the songs I really liked that I played the best. Just before the ceremony our soloist sang a song that I cant remember the name (I'll have to look it up at home tonight). It was something about growing up and a parents love and God's love. My parents really liked, so I guess that was their song. During the unity candle he sang Josh Groban's "You Raise Me Up". I love the song, but it was a little on the long side too... a good minute of everyone staring at DH and I staring at each other.

Pandora II Ideal Rock Total Posts: 6,272 Last Post: 11/24/2009 Member Since: 8/3/2006	Not sure that we are having songs that the guests sing, but musicwise we like: Ennio Morricone's 'Playing Love' from The legend of 1900. FI wants 'The Ecstasy of Gold' (kind of appropriate for PS)from The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, also Morricone and I love Dolly Parton's 'Highlight of my Life' - I have a friend who's a tenor and I'd like to see what it's like sung totally straight by a male voice. My sister just picked music from a list she was given to chose from at her wedding. It's important to me to have music I really like and that have memories for me or just make my hair stand on end (not literally I hope)

I didn't like them as is, as they play the songs at funerals at a lot. _______________________ Travel quote of the week: "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do.

chickflick Cut Rock Total Posts: 312 Last Post: 12/16/2008 Member Since: 3/5/2006	We used all Beatles songs for our ceremony, but classical guitar versions. The processional was "In My Life", I walked down the aisle to "Michelle" (my name, natch) and our recessional was "Here Comes the Sun". Everyone loved it! Our first song was "I Want to Grow Old With You" by Adam Sandler from The Wedding Singer. Nothing you can know that isn''t known. Nothing you can see that isn''t shown. Nowhere you can be that isn''t where you''re meant to be. It''s easy. All you need is love. Love is all you need.

sumbride Ideal Rock Total Posts: 3,867 Last Post: 1/21/2009 Member Since: 2/17/2006	We're doing a secular ceremony and I'm kind of bored by the typical classical selections. I SO wanted to use "Here comes the sun" as my processional (because my name is Summer) but my FI vetoed it. I'm going with "My cherie amour" by Stevie Wonder because we both like it. And our recessional wil be the U2 version of "Everlasting Love". I want to put a song called "You are my home" (that I HUNTED DOWN) in the middle of the ceremony but I'm not quite sure where. If you're doing recordings instead of live music, is it weird to not have anybody to look at for a song in the middle of the ceremony? I mean, if it was soloist you could watch her sing, but are they going to stare at the speakers? I really don't want live musicians for the ceremony because I really want specific pieces of music, but I'm kind of confused. And I have no idea what to use for the bridesmaids processional.

DandiAndi Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,001 Last Post: 11/21/2009 Member Since: 1/9/2006	I'll be walking down the isle to "From This Moment" by Shania Twain, every time I hear it I want to cry!! We are exiting the church to "Beautiful Day" by U2, and our first dance will be to "Groovy Kind of Love" by Phil Collins. For the father/daughter dance I'm saving it until right at the end of the night when everyone is in a circle about to farewell us, and that will be to "Save the Last Dance for Me" by Michael Buble!

njc Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,997 Last Post: 4/10/2009 Member Since: 9/10/2004	Sumbride - As for not having someone to look at with recorded music, we had a soloist and I was the only one that could see him (out of DH and I), so we just stood, facing each other and holding hands. So I dont think you should have a problem not having live music. My BMs came in to Mozart's Piano Concerto No21 in C major Andante.

sumbride Ideal Rock Total Posts: 3,867 Last Post: 1/21/2009 Member Since: 2/17/2006	Thanks NJC! That makes me feel better! I picked the song for the words, but also for the arrangement and it wouldn't sound right to have somebody else sing it, especially after all the effort I made to locate a recording.

sumbride Ideal Rock Total Posts: 3,867 Last Post: 1/21/2009 Member Since: 2/17/2006	Anybody with a wedding party have some ideas for their processional music? I know the bridesmaids typically get a different song from the bride. You know, besides Pachobel Canon in D.

Pandora II Ideal Rock Total Posts: 6,272 Last Post: 11/24/2009 Member Since: 8/3/2006	RoseAngel: Ooops, I put that really badly lol What I meant was that in religious/church ceremonies, we have about 3 hymns that everyone sings, then you have the processional and recessional music and normally something while you sign the register etc As we will be having a humanist wedding, we are having the 'music' bits, but scrapping the hymns bit -I can't cope with the idea of them all having to sing John Lennon's 'Imagine' or similar. And, with my grandparents (religious) and FI's mother and stepfather (both vicars) all coming I'm trying to exclude god without being anti-god. Anyhow, I have to have a registrar (JP in the US??) present as humanist weddings aren't 'legal' here yet (only in Scotland) and the registrars have a total ban on anything religious at all, the humanist's don't care either way. Hopefully the law might change before 08/08 and then I can have a straight humanist ceremony and potentially incorporate a blessing or something to keep the family god squad happy!

nytemist Ideal Rock Total Posts: 885 Last Post: 11/20/2009 Member Since: 3/11/2005	During the hour or so when guests were coming in, mingling and getting seated, we set the iPod to play Vivaldi's Fall and Winter, then it played a few songs from the string tribute to Depeche Mode. The processional was done to "The Writing of My Father's Hand" from Dead Can Dance (it was perfect for our Halloween wedding, the song is beautiful, I love DCD and it sort of incorporated my dad who had passed away) Our recessional was "I Belong To You" by Lenny Kravitz and our first dance was "Come Rain or Come Shine" by Billie Holiday.

musey Ideal Rock Total Posts: 11,179 Last Post: 11/24/2009 Member Since: 9/30/2006	I'm hoping to have our processional as "Someone to Fall Back On" by Jason Robert Brown--lyrics--(he is a mutual friend and colleague, and this song has special meaning to us for that reason). Our first dance will most likely by "Songbird" by Eva Cassidy, which is unofficially "our song."

hfollett Rough Rock Total Posts: 37 Last Post: 5/24/2007 Member Since: 2/4/2004	If you like "I Will Be Here", Steven Curtis Chapman has another song that focuses on parents and children, called "I Believe in You". Here are the first few stanzas: Aren't you the little one That hid in my arms afraid of the thunder Are these the little hands That held so tight to mine Didn't we both agree you'd never grow up And now here we are And here you go Of all the things I want to say The things you really need to know is I believe in you I believe in you Everything you are Everything you are becoming And I believe in you I believe in you So spread your wings and fly On the winds of knowing I always believe in you We were married a long time ago, and had Leon Patillo's "Flesh of My Flesh". There's also "Go There With You", another Steven Curtis Chapman song.
