I've had "like a star' by Corrine Bailey Rae on repeat for the last 2 days on my ipod...I really love that song! I think it might be our first dance song, once I get it cleared with FI. For my walk down the aisle song - I'm using Chrisette Michelle's "golden". What are you ladies using?

    Thinking of walking down the aisle to Cindy's Song by BeBe Winans.
    For the longest I wanted our first dance song to be So High by John Legend, but he hates his voice :( So we are leaning towards LTD's Love Ballad.

    ^^^^ I LOVE LTD's "Love Ballad"!  I told FI that I want that song somewhere in the wedding, just not sure where. 

    As far as our first dance song, we are using "You Were Meant For Me" by Donny Hathway.  It's the perfect song for us and our relationship!

    <div>Me and my BF were rinding on the China Bus from NYC and I heard Giving You the Best that I Got and started crying and he said,"are you in love with me?, cause I'm in love with you." So that song is powerful, girl! </div>

    At one point I thought I knew what I wanted to walk down the aisle too but now I believe that I have changed my mind. I am still not 100% sure.

    I said initially Beyonce and Marc Nelso then I was saying Charlie Wilson. ahhhhhhhh don't get me started.

    I really haven't chosen a song for my MOH to walk down the aisle yet (yea I know I need to do that!) but I'm walking to "My Life, My Love, My All" by Kirk Franklin; first dance will be "When I'm With You" by Tony Terry (I think that's who sings it).
