Need suggestions - (posted on reception board too)

I wanted to sing a song for FI@ our reception, but don't have a clue as to what to sing for him.  He loves when I sing and its rare when I do, so I thouhgt I'd surprise him. I do have a very nice voice - not to be overly boastful but I spent 8 years training at the Eastman School of Music earning my masters degrees in vocal performance and music education.  I'm going to have a 5 piece live orchestra for my ceremony music, and for cocktail /dinner hour music.  It will include a violin, viola, cello, piano and trumpter.  (I've played trupet for 20 years.... and a good friend of mine, Mr. Joey Pero for those of you who are in tune with the jazz music world, I couldn't imagine my wedding without a live trumpet player)  anyway... have any of you had an orchestra or are having one @ your recpetion or ceremony with a singer singing a song for your FI?  If so, what are you hang them sing?  What are your suggestions?  Thanks for your help ladies.... I'm stumped!

    I am singing at my ceremony with my family in 4-part harmony. We are singing The River by Garth Brooks. Other songs I have heard sung by a soloist at a wedding are You Raise Me Up (Josh Groban), The Rose, First TIme I Saw You Face (Roberta Flack), and Bless the Broken Road. Hope that gives you some ideas.

    Oh oh oh...Maybe I'm Amazed--I think a few different people do it but I love the Jem version and it is her and a piano--my favorite type of song...very little embelishment, focus is voice and piano.

    My brother in law sang to my sister at the ceremony.  He chose Bless the Broken Road, by Rascal Flatts
