what was your wedding song and why'd you pick it?

Original post by snwb08

i just heard mine on the radio.... ours was 'This Year's Love' by David Gray. Not the most appropriate when you listen to the words, but I LOVE this song and it was one of the few we agreed on.

DH doesn't remember but I heard it at Connelly's like 4+ years ago while we were eating there about a few months into our relationship and obsessed over it for weeks.

Originally I wanted 'Thank You' by Dido b/c i was a HUGE fan, and he took me to her concert like 6 months into dating, but he didn't really go for it.

By Your Side by Sade

he made a mix CD a few years back and this song was on it. It just described us to the t with everything he and I have been through as a couple in the 7 and a half years weve been together.




I've always loved that song ... and ever since DH & I had started dating, I always wanted that to be our 1st dance song.

Then we went to my cousin's wedding, and they used that song Oh well ....

DH & I have pretty different musical tastes ... it took us forever to finally pick a song.

We ended up picking Everything by Lifehouse ... reason being, we agreed

Just the way you are - Billy Joel

it was always just perfect for us. we have been together 10.5 years and we are that boring, comfortable couple and we wouldnt want it any other way

after i picked it i found out it was his parents' wedding song so it was even MORE perfect!!




Aww...Tilde! That is so cute

Thank You by Led Zeppelin- we did the original version

Its always been our song. Its actually applied more the longer we've been together. We both knew it would always be our wedding song. It was amazing to hear it the actual day of the wedding and finally dance to it as husband and wife!

Ben Folds 'The Luckiest'

It was obvious to us when we first heard it years ago that it was 'our' song.

'Love of My Life' by Michael W. Smith...it's kind of an oldy, but the lyrics are beautiful - and Josh picked it that alone made me want to use it...HE listened to it, said 'i love the words' and that was it for me lol.

Lyrics:

I am amazed when I look at you,
I see you smiling back at me,
It's like all my dreams come true.
I am afraid if I lost you,
I'd fall through the cracks and lose my track,
In this crazy, lonely world.

Sometimes it's so hard to believe,
when some nights can be so long,
But faith gives me the strength,
It keeps me going on.

You are the love of my life,
And I'm so glad you found me,
You are the love of my life,
Baby put your arms around me,
I guess this is how it feels,
When you finally find something real.
My angel in the night, you are my love...
The love of my life.

Now here you are,
With midnight closing in.
You take my hand as our shadows dance,
With moonlight on your skin.
I look in your eyes,
I'm lost inside your kiss.
I think if I'd never met you,
about all the things I'd missed.

Sometimes it's so hard to believe,
When a love can be so strong,
And faith gives me the strength,
it keeps me going on.

You are the love of my life,
And I'm so glad you found me,
You are the love of my life,
Baby put your arms around me,
I guess this is how it feels,
When you finally find something real.
My angel in the night, you're my love...
The love of my life.

You are the love of my life,
And I'm so glad you found me,
You are the love of my life,
Baby put your arms around me,
I guess this is how it feels,
When you finally find something real.
My angel in the night, you are my love...
My angel in the night, you are my love...
The love of my... life.

oh that is a GOOD one

Love the classics

We have so many songs but we chose Moon River b/c it goes with the theme of our wedding -being the day we got engaged I saw Breakfast at Tiffany's or the first time.

It was just so perfect and timeless.


Your wedding song is my FAVORITE!!! I absolutly cannot listen to that song without crying!!

I love it!

ours was 'You're My Home' by Billy Joel. We are huge fans and knew we had to have one of his songs as our wedding song, and this one seemed fitting since we spent so much of our time in a long-distance relationship

'Steady as we go' by Dave Matthews Band. We have always been HUUUUUUGGGGGGGEEEE DMB fans and when this song came out we knew. I think it was even before we were engaged. I love that song !!!!

Ours was True Companion by Marc Cohn...love the words and Marc Cohn has a manly, raspy voice so it didn't make DH look too 'girly', 'sappy' or any other derogatory term you could think of indicating he has lost his manhood.

Any sappy, sentimental or romantic tunes were an automatic 'No Way!' Although that song is romantic in it's own way.

We chose Stay With You because we both LOVE the Goo-Goo Dolls and it was totally different!

We wrestled with this for a long time but ended up choosing Crazy Love by Van Morrison. We loved the lyrics, and it's also funny to us because he always tells me I'm crazy, like looney crazy.

We Picked 'Now and Forever' by Richard Marx.

When we were dating DH played Richard Marx's greatest hits and he used to sing this song to me. He always said we were going to get married to that song and I just laughed.


It seemed like such a far way off at that point.


I get teary eyed when I hear that song now because it makes me think of all the good times, the dreams we shared and how far we have come.

Song Link


Whenever I'm weary from the battles that rage
in my head
You make sense of madness when my sanity
hangs by a thread
I lose my way but still you seam to understand
Now and forever
I will be your man

Sometimes I just hold you
Too caught up in me to see

I'm holding a fortune that heaven has given
to me
I'll try to show you each and every way I can
Now and forever
I will be you man

Now I can rest my worries and always be sure
That I won't be alone anymore
If I'd only known you were there all the @me
All this time

Until the day the ocean doesn't touch the
sand
Now and forever
I will be your man
Now and forever
I will be your man
