How did you pick your wedding song?

Does it have a special meaning? Or did you and FH just pick it out of the blue?

Re: How did you pick your wedding song?

We actually had our song picked out from when we first met. Then we went to see a photographer and he showed us a video and heard a song that just made me cry so we are using finally found someone

Re: How did you pick your wedding song?

we are in between two songs right now........we just LOVE both of them. When we hear the song it is just so special and really meaningful to both of us. I especially love it when FH sings it to me.

Re: How did you pick your wedding song?

My original song that I picked is one that I sing to him when we're in the car But he's not really into hiphop/dance music (it's by Alicia Keys and Usher) so I heard, "I Love You Just The Way You Are" by Billy Joel and he liked that one much better

Re: How did you pick your wedding song?

haven't picked ours yet!
I'm the type to get tired of songs quickly if I hear it .. so I'd rather wait till it gets closer to my wedding date..

THe words and the music are the key factor,,,

Re: How did you pick your wedding song?

We both love Bon Jovi, and when we heard Thank You For Loving Me we just knew it was for us. It was 'our song' before we were engaged.

Re: How did you pick your wedding song?

Before we even got engaged I always was in the search for our song...I always liked the song "could not ask for more" by edwin mccain, but something about it wasn't right, guess it was the singer, my fiancee showed me a girl singing it and i loved her version. We have to pick a second dance for our wedding and we really want "hold me" by whitney houston and teddy pendergrass but its like 5 1/2 minutes long, not sure if everyone will want to dance that long!!! But those two songs have special meanings and me and FH will dance to them in our bedrooms everytime we hear it :)

Re: How did you pick your wedding song?

It was the first song that my FH ever sang to me. It was very special and it became our song. That will be our song forever.

Re: How did you pick your wedding song?

Our song is the remake of the song "Heaven" by Bryan Adams...DJ Sammy sings it now and it is the candlelight version...The words are soooo appropriate for us and I love how it is just the piano and the singers voice...It is beautiful!!!! We both love it!!!

Re: How did you pick your wedding song?

running by no doubt
we have very different tastes in music, so the fact that we both like the song means something...plus we both love the lyrics

Re: How did you pick your wedding song?

We're currently debating this.....FH LOVES the song True Companion--by Marc Cohn (
he remembers when it came out when he was a kid (around 11 or so) and he always dreamed it would be his wedding song. So, I listened to it the other day and really liked it--

We don't really have an "our song"--so I listened to the words and fell in love. He said he's listened to it a few times when thinking of me and always remembers our great times when he hears it.

True Companion-Marc Cohn

Baby i've been searching like everybody else
Can't say nothing different about myself
Sometimes i'm an angel
And sometimes i'm cruel
And when it comes to love
I'm just another fool
Yes, i'll climb a mountain
I'm gonna swim the sea
There ain't no act of god girl
Could keep you safe from me
My arms are reaching out
Out across this canyon
I'm asking you to be my true companion
True companion
True companion

So don't you dare and try to walk away
I've got my heart set on our wedding day
I've got this vision of a girl in white
Made my decision that it's you allright
And when i take your hand
I'll watch my heart set sail
I'll take my trembling fingers

And i'll lift up your veil
Then i'll take you home
And with wild abandon
Make love to you just like a true companion
You are my true companion
I got a true companion
True companion

When the years have done irreparable harm
I can see us walking slowly arm in arm
Just like the couple on the corner do
'cause girl i will always be in love with you
And when i look in your eyes
I'll still see that spark
Until the shadows fall
Until the room grows dark
Then when i leave this earth
I'll be with the angels standin'
I'll be out there waiting for my true companion
Just for my true companion
True companion
True companion

We're going by the lyrics and the music.
So far we're thinking about "At Last" but it's been a bit overused (like before we were born!) so we're not really sure if it's the one.

I do really like the lyrics above though! I'm going to look up that song and check out how it sounds!

Re: How did you pick your wedding song?

We picked By Your Side- Sade

I fell in love with the song and played it for FH one day, and we were just like.. that's it. We had already had 2 different songs before, but didn't feel quite right, but this one just really fits us!! Good luck. We went by lyrics in the end.

I'm guessing the Alicia Keys song you're referring to is "If I Ain't Got You"? Cause that was actually going to be my wedding song at first too... I love her second album and FH loved that song, but then she just had to go and bring Usher in on it. Hearing it on every station over and over again kinda took the fun out of it for us. So then I heard a little snippet of this song on a wedding-related website and was immediately like "What song is that?" My sister told me it was The Luckiest by Ben Folds. She busted out his CD and played the full song for me. I started to cry and new that was the song. I emailed FH and told him to download the song and call me when he was going to start listening to it. Now, I couldn't see his face at the time he was listening, but I have a sneaking suspicion that he got a little teary-eyed himself.
