POLL: Help Us Decide Our Wedding Song

We originally chose:

Come What May from the Moulin Rouge Soundtrack - I believe the lyrics are PERFECT and appropriate for a wedding song....

FI suggested Lionel Ritchie's 'Hello' last night...and It's a beautiful song, but I'm not sure if it's Wedding Song 'material.'

What do you girls think?

Lionel Ritchie
Hello

I've been alone with you inside my mind
And in my dreams I've kissed your lips, a thousand times
I sometimes see you pass outside my door
Hello, is it me you're looking for?
I can see it in your eyes
I can see it in your smile
You're all I've ever wanted
My arms are open wide
Cos you know just what to say
And you know just what to do
And I want to tell you so much, I love you

I long to see the sunlight in your hair
And tell you time and time again, how much I care
Sometimes I feel my heart will overflow
Hello? I've just got to let you know
Cos I wonder where you are
And I wonder what you do
Are you somewhere feeling lonely
Or is someone loving you
Tell me how to win your heart
For I haven't got a clue
But let me start by saying, I love you

Hello
Is it me You're looking for?
Cos I wonder where you are
And I wonder what you do
Are you somewhere feeling lonely
Is someone loving you?
Tell me how to win your heart
For I haven't got a clue
But let me start by saying
I love you




Moulin Rouge Soundtrack - Sung by Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor
Come What May
Never knew I could feel like this
Like I've never seen the sky before
I want to vanish inside your kiss
Every day i'm loving you more than this
Listen to my heart, can you hear it sings
Telling me to give you everything
Seasons may change, winter to spring
But I love you until the end of time

Chorus:
Come what may
Come what may
I will love you until my dying day

Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place
Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace
Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste
It all revolves around you
And there's no mountain too high
No river too wide
Sing out this song I'll be there by your side
Storm clouds may gather
And stars may collide
But I love you until the end of time

Chorus

Oh, come what may, come what may
I will love you, I will love you
Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place

Chorus

UPDATE: We're going with Come What May...FI admitted that he got the idea for Hello after seeing the movie 40 y/o virgin last night...and totally forgot!

We both agreed that Come what May is definitely OUR SONG and it made us both melt!

Thanks for all your feedback ladies!

I voted for 'Come What May'

Re: POLL: Help Us Decide Our Wedding Song

ohhhhh... I don't know I love both of those songs....
I think come what may might be more appropriate, hello always makes me think that he loves this girl from afar but she has no idea he's alive, and obviously, thats not the case!

That's why I didn't think it was very appropriate...

I chose Come What May....

Hello sounds like he's longing for this girl who might be with someone else, and it always reminds me of the cheesy video with it where she creates his face in clay....errrr always makes me shake my head and shiver down my spine!!

Moulin Rouge!!! The lyrics are more appropriate. In Hello he's looking for her love, which doesn't really go with the whole wedding thing!!

Come what may - definitely.
I'm sorry but everytime I think of Hello - I see that whacked out clay sculpture of Lionel's head.

Re: POLL: Help Us Decide Our Wedding Song

I LOVE LOVE LOVE come what may and I think the lyrics could not be more beautiful for a wedding song.
I think I may have mentioned this to you, but we are using it for our first song.

Again, the lyrics are beautiful. They are about being there for each other no matter what, through thick and thin and realizing how wonderful life is with the other person in it! what could be more perfect?!?!

I'm obsessed with the movie- Moulin Rouge! I think you should go with Come What May! My wedding song is going to be Your Song by Elton John- also featured in the movie.

'I knew I loved you Before I met You'
by Savage Garden

Maybe it's intuition
But some things you just don't question
Like in your eyes
I see my future in an instant
And there it goes
I think I've found my best friend
I know that it might sound more than a little crazy
But I believe

I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life

There's just no rhyme or reason
Only this sense of completion
And in your eyes
I see the missing pieces
I'm searching for
I think I've found my way home

I know that it might sound more than a little crazy
But I believe

I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life

A thousand angels dance around you
I am complete now that I've found you

I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life

Re: POLL: Help Us Decide Our Wedding Song

it's rumored that hello was written after one of several beatings administered by his wife.

the song was written about three years before her arrest, but many friends and relatives speculated that hello was written as a sort of cry for help from lionel.

the song is often used for domestic abuse groups, and richie recently sang this song at a conference for battered latina women.

i know all of this because my friend is a member of the lionel richie fan club and arguably one of his biggest fans.
