Sorry ladies, I'm being a total board crasher.  I usually hang out on my month board but figured for this question I better come to those who will do me right!  Anywho, what song are you guys walking down the aisle to and what song are you dancing to for First Dance?  I'm at a loss....Please help a sista out.  Thanks much.

    I am walking to either Canon in D, I Found Love (Bebe & Cece Winans), or The Prayer (Donnie McClurkin and Yolanda Adams). I am stuck between those 3 at the moment.

    First Dance will be "Love is your Color" from Leona Lewis and Jennifer Hudson.

    That's close enough!!!! Just 1 week apart. I am, as well, trying to get these songs together. Me & FI are having disagreements on certain ones. I say red, he says yellow. I think he's doing it on purpose....lol.

    Make Me Whole girls!  YES!  This is our song!!!  I thought it might be way too slow to walk to though.  I really wanted someone to sing it while I walked but the budget didn't allow.  I think y'all just found the song I'm walking to.  Thanks.  And I'm running out to check out some of these other songs I've not heard yet.  Thanks again.

    The Wedding party walked in on Said and Done by Beyonce and Marc Nelson (I think, I may have changed it at the last minute and I was standing outside so I did not hear the music),  I came in on Unthinkable by Alica Keys.  Just as we were pronounced husband and wife, the last hook from moment for life by Niki Manaje was playing in the back ground and we walked out to that.
    The wedding party walked in on Blak Eye peas - tonight gonna be a good night, DH and I walked in on Bonnie and Clyde by Beyonce and Jay-Z. 
    The Wedding party and us danced to the hook on Apache by grand mast flash
    Our First dance was to a country western song and a salsa song that was picked for us so I dont know the name of them.
    Family dance (DH, FIL, FIL, and my Mom dancing with us) was to Louie Armstrong's What a wonderful world.  I really like that mix of the music, I wanted something everyone could relate to.  I am from NYC so I had to have Jay-z and Grand master flash in there.  I am also a huge fan on Beyonce and Alica Keys... Some of the songs did not in to my mind until a few days before the wedding.  It all worked out great.  Just make sure your DJ is willing to make last minute changes.

    September 2012 wedding here so this is subject to change but I've always loved the following songs:

    To walk down the aisle:  "If It Wasn't For Your Love" by Heather Headley

    First Dance:  "I'll Never Forget" by K'Jon



    Love is the ultimate superpower.   
    It can make you weak and strong simultaneously.
