    First Dance - Lost in the Moment - Big and Rich
    Father/Daughter - Daughter - Loudon Wainwright (it's the song that plays at the very end of Knocked Up, really cute and not too sappy)
    Mother/Son - My Wish - Rascall Flats

    We are having such a hard time deciding this and are runing out of time! We don't have anything definite yet but we were considering either In My Life or I Will (both Beatles) for us. I wanted to do Fleetwood Mac's Landslide for Father/Daughter but apparently my dad hates that song. We might do either My Girl or Father-Daughter by Paul Simon. I think the only contender so far for Mother-Son is Blessed by Elton John.

      We have finally decided. It took us forever to figure out!
     First dance: Love is Never Ending by Brad Paisley
      And then we're combining Father/Daughter Mother/Son and that will be I hope you Dance by LeAnn Womack

    It is SO hard to pick. We're going to 8 weddings this summer (yes - 8!) so we're trying to pick songs that haven't been used by our best friends. And also, that aren't too sappy or else I'll be a bawling mess.

    What about entrance songs for the bridal party?

    Ugghh...both FI & dad are giving me the hardest time with this! They have no suggestions other than NOT whatever I pick. Good thing I started talking about this with them early.

     We're using TNT by AC/DC for our entrance song. Still trying to figure out if that will be the song for the bridal party also, or have another one for them.

    Spangler - my thoughts exactly on the songs. We're going to try to do short and sweet. It's really hard to think of songs that are unique and special to us but at the same time songs that people are familiar with! For the entrance song we'll probably do the Batman theme. Totally not my choice, but FI is a huge batman fan so I figure I'd let him have this one cheesy thing. I'm not sure if we'll do that for just the bridal party and a different song for us.

    Rachel - Same here with short and sweet. We have a few songs that mean a lot to us but I think I'm leaning towards playful over sentimental. The Batman entrance is fun! My FI is a total 90's TV nerd so he's trying to pick a song that goes back to his childhood. He'd LOVE if I'd OK the Family Matters theme song. Haha. We'll see.

    And good luck!

    First Dance -- God Only Knows by The Beach Boys
    Father/Daughter -- Father & Daughter by Paul Simon
    Mother/Son -- either I'm Happy Just To Dance With You by The Beatles or You Got It by Roy Orbison.

    I REALLY wanted to dance to Daughter by Loudon Wainwright, but my dad liked Paul Simon better.  But it's an amazing song, and I think I want my DJ to play it anyway hahaha.

    Entrance song is Got To Get You Into My Life by The Beatles.
    Paprika: I like it when you burp in my ear. It really turns me on.

    First Dance- You are The Best Thing- Ray LaMontagne
    Father/Daughter- You've got a Friend by Carly Simon- it's actually the song my parents danced to at their wedding.
    Mother/Son- No Idea.  Thinking something from Jimmy Buffet.
    Entrance Song- In The Mood, Glenn Miller Band.

    Entrance Song- I want PYT, FI is a HUGE MJ fan, and I love that song...

    First Dance - First Dance by Cory Smith is in the lead at this time, but we are a little far out still.  However if my brother is deployed when I get married, this will be the song hands down.  My brother introduced us to Cory Smith and it would be my way of having him "home" with me.

    Father/Daughter- No clue.  If you are still around in about year we might have this narrowed down.  I may look into what my mom and dad's first dance song was.  It'd be a nice way to remember her.

    Mother/Son- OMG, she asks for suggestions often and hates everyone I give her.  Ive left this up to him.... at this point I give up

    We wanted to use songs that aren't used that often for the first dance so we chose:
    First Dance- When Somebody Loves You- Alan Jackson

    For Father/Daughter, my dad and I love each other, but aren't sappy so we chose:
    Father/Daughter Dance: Father & Daughter- Paul Simon

    Mother/Son Dance- No clue haha
