What to Sing?

Aloros Ideal Rock Total Posts: 872 Last Post: 11/18/2009 Member Since: 5/3/2006	My cousin's wedding is this August, and my sister and I have agreed to sing at her wedding. We used to sing duets when we were children and my cousin has fond memories of it. I know she's busy, and she's asked me if I have any suggestions on what we should sing. Neither her nor her fiance are very religious (the ceremony is taking place outside, not in a church). There will be a string quartet, so we could have them accompany us or sing a capella. Any suggestions? I'm drawing blanks. Thank you so much!

Any suggestions? I'm drawing blanks. Ooh, def. have the string quartet accompany you if you can! Two people singing a cappella doesn't create a very full sound (and creates more of a chance for shifting pitch!) Do you want a song that is already a duet, a solo song that you could arrange for two parts? The only wedding-appropriate song I can think of that was done as a duet originally is "More Than Words" (I think originally by Extreme?) and even that is more of a lead + backup piece. Unless they want something with more of a sense of humor, in which case a song like "Cruising Together" would be cute. a lot of these really just depend on their tastes in music, so here's just everything I could think of (including the cheeseball ones)... Solo Songs At Last (Etta James) Beautiful (Jennifer Paige) Can't Help Falling in Love (Elvis Presley) Cowboy Take Me Away (Dixie Chicks) ... if they're into country For Once in my Life (Stevie Wonder) Hawaiian Wedding Song (Elvis Presley) I Can Love you Like That (All 4 One) If You Asked Me To (Celine Dion, haha) In My Life (The Beatles) Just The Way You Are (Billy Joel) More Than Anyone (Gavin DeGraw) Rhapsodie (Over the Rhine) Songbird (Eva Cassidy) What a Wonderful World (Louis Armstrong)

My sis and I could probably arrange a solo piece for a duet with a little effort. I'll forward those to my cousin and see what she thinks.

We sang two songs- "Pie Jesu" from Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical "Requim" which is a beautiful song and we also sang that Irish blessing song that goes "may the road rise to meet you, may the wind be always at your back..." Also, What a Wonderful World a capella is gorgeous. "You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough." Mae West

"Love Song", from Pippin. _____________________________ "Hello Dollies" Combine 1 stick melted butter and 2 cups graham cracker crumbs. Press in greased 9x13 pan. On top, layer 1 package chocolate chips, 1 package peanut butter chips, 1 12oz can lightly salted peanuts. Top with 1 small can sweetened condensed milk (I use fat free big deal!). Bake at 350 for 25 minutes (the edges should be bubbly). I recommend not cutting them until the next day because it seems to take that long for the graham cracker bottom to really harden.

ephemery1 Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,724 Last Post: 7/10/2008 Member Since: 3/20/2006	My best friend/MOH and her sister sang at our wedding, and it might have been my favorite part of the ceremony! We chose "Candle on the Water" from the movie Pete's Dragon, because I really loved the lyrics... not too sappy-sweet, just meaningful. We also lit our unity candle during the song... sort of keeping with the theme... I'll be your candle on the water My love for you will always burn I know you're lost and drifting, But the clouds are lifting Don't give up, you have somewhere to turn. I'll be your candle on the water Till every wave is warm and bright My soul is there beside you, Let this candle guide you Soon you'll see a golden stream of light A cold and friendless tide has found you Don't let the stormy darkness pull you down I'll paint a ray of hope around you Circling in the air, lighted by a prayer I'll be your candle on the water This flame inside of me will grow Keep holding on, you'll make it Here's my hand so take it Look for me reaching out to show As sure as rivers flow, I'll never let you go -~-~- "There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it." Edith Wharton
