Wedding Help me pick a couple of songs

[Courtneylub]

We are doing a parents'' dance with everyone during the same song. We will switch every minute or so. What''s a good, general song we could dance to? Something sweet, but not about Daddy''s or anything since the mom''s will be dancing as well.

Also, what''s a good bouquet toss song besides "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun"? What songs are you using for that and the garter toss?

What about Celine Dion "Because you loved me"?

Bouquet Toss "Hit me with your Best Shot" Pat Benetar

Garter Retrieval "Mission Impossible Theme" (everyone loved this!!!)

Garter Toss "Rocky Theme"

What a Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong immediately springs to mind...

"How Sweet it Is" by James Taylor ...

Cheesy classic - "You''re the Inspiration" - we are TOTALLY having this at our reception ...

I haven''t thought of a bouquet toss song yet, but D has decided the garter song will be "Don''t Cha" or whatever by the Pussycat Dolls. I''m not super stoked, but it''s his decision

our garter toss song will be michael buble''s "feelin'' good"--my inner bond girl just loves the james bond sound of it, haha. i''ve actually been trying to think of a parents song as well because we were going to do the same thing (i have serious awkwardness with my father, so i''d rather not have to spend solo spotlight time feeling uncomfortable!). maybe armstrong''s "what a wonderful world"?? if you''re christian, stephen curtis chapman''s "parents'' prayer" has good lyrics (not that i''ve even heard the song--i googled it, haha). Stevie Wonder has several that''d work. i also really like Israel Kamakawiwo Ole''s version of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow"...needless to say, i still haven''t picked anything either, haha. bouquet toss

Neveah - That''s so funny you said Mission Impossible because I saw that on a website and immediately wanted it. That is really funny.

Krissie - I thought "You''re the Inspiration" would be good too, but when I mentioned it to FI he reminded me that he''s not really inspired by his parents. I know that''s horrible, but I get it.

Doodle - "somewhere over the rainbow" is a fantastic idea and one of our favorites. We plan on that being a background song before the ceremony starts.
