We are using "spend my life with you" by Eric Benet and Tamia. It's really pretty and romantic and says all the right things.

Our first dance song is Bryan Adams Everything I Do...

Any ideas for a cake cutting song. Nothing goofy please.

David Gray - Be Mine

"Lucky" by Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillet. It's totally new, but it has a little of an "old" feel to it.

andrewstacey · May 2010

"You for Me" by Johnny Gill

Reilly626 · May 2010

Sea of Love...

countrygirl2425 · May 2010

We're using " Your Everything " by Keith Urban "Only You Can Love Me This Way" which is also by Keith Urban .

SBurns0210 · May 2010

Our final 5 are:
Jack Johnson Banana Pancakes
" " Better Together
Beatles Real Love
UB40 Can't Help Falling in Love
Bob Marley Is This Love

She and Him (Zooey DeChanel's band) does a great cover of the Beatles Should Have Known Better.

I think we're going to walk back up the aisle to "Two Step". That would be our first dance but i think it's too long.

We are having my brother (who is a self-taught musician and very creative) and my sister-in-law sing and play our first dance song - Ronan Keating's When You Say Nothing at All. It's a very personal touch and such a beautiful song, we couldn't have picked a more perfect song for the two of us

I guess it really helps that we absolutely love Notting Hill (it's on the soundtrack)!

My fiance and I are super duper odd! We listen to pretty much everything but the majority of our music, aside from many traditional Arabic dance tunes, will comprise of Tony Bennett, Frank Sinatra, and all of the other classic crooners! We're seriously considering Tony Bennett's version of "It had to be you". This, after much convincing on my part that "Big Pimpin'" probably didn't represent us very well over all and that "I'm too sexy" maybe wasn't the best song choice when we walked in! Ahahaha :P

lschreid · May 2010

We're going with "Ever the Same" by Rob Thomas. He wrote it while his wife was really sick and getting diagnosed with lupus, about how they stand by each other, and I've spent the past 10 years getting diagnosed with celiac disease (at least, I hope that's the final solution).

Actually I'm dying to have Rob Thomas come sing it, but I have no contacts in the music industry, and he would have to do it relatively cheaply (ideally for free!)

Now, just to get my fiance to actually get up and dance with me....

"Change the World" by Eric Clapton =]

corky52391 · May 2010

doveydarling · May 2010

our wedding is in 3 months!! our song is going to be SAM COOKE'S YOU SEND ME

picking our song was easy... its the songs for the father/daughter mother/son dance that we cant think of!

FrostedMini · May 2010

I wishi I would have seen this sooner! For our song we are using A song called Bei Mir Bist Du Schoen (It's from the movie Swimg kids and we are learning to swing dance right now!! ) by Janis Siegel. If we weren't using that song I really love the Dave Mathews Band Song You and Me off their new album. I hope you had a great wedding!!!

[Deleted User] · May 2010

We are dancing to Everything by Michael Buble - the lyrics are perfect!

Crystal Song · May 2010

Our choice is either "Your Song" (also fell in love with Moulin Rouge, but we're using the Elton John version), or "Tell Me You Love Me" from Phantom, or "The One" by Elton John, either of which should be easy to waltz to. I'm getting a tape of beautiful wedding harp music for the event, so that might change things up a bit. Then move on to softer love music which we like, then fun music, like Queen - "Ooh, You Make me Live", etc and Madonna: "Love Profusion", etc.

atroy83 · May 2010

ours is Cross my Heart by George Strait

erica62381 · May 2010

We're dancing to "History in the Making" by Darius Rucker. Listen to the words, it's a really good song.

I also like Gavin Degraw's "Follow Through", "True Companion" by Mark Cohn and "Steady as we go" by Dave Matthews.

Good luck!

mrsric · May 2010

We're using The Broken Road by Rascal Flats

Khitkhat · May 2010

we went throught a lot of songs too and settled on "Wonderful Tonight" by Eric Clapton.... it's the only one that made me tear up..... especially when my FI said that I"ll be just like the girl in the song

chatterfl · May 2010

Feels Like Home is beautiful! I loved it in "How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days."

melynjared · May 2010

My first dance song is definitely gonna be "Endless love" by Lionel Richie and Diana Ross this song is beautiful even thou is an old song but I love it.....

ally320 · May 2010

Hello everyone Im not a bride to be merely a maid of honor/unofficial wedding planner to my best friend who is not so big into details.

shorty_girl72 · May 2010

I noticed that you are already married. Congrats!!

For anyone else is is looking for Ideas We are doing..
"Love of a life time" - Firehouse

Great song!

7 Days

drelo77 · May 2010

We both love Elvis, so we chose "Can't help falling in love"

kmiller2186 · May 2010

I am walking down the Aisle to mine and my husband's love song to each other, which is Darius Rucker's "History in thr Making." It's considered country, but there's not a whole lot of anything country about it to me. Our first dance is going to "God Gave Me You" by Dave Barnes followed by "Everything" by Michael Buble.

A few other suggestions for you may be "I Don't Wanna Go" by Avalon, "When I See You Smile" by Bad English (since you both seem to like rock), "Hanging By A Moment" and "You and Me" by Lifehouse, and "Close to You" by BeBe and CeCe Winans. If you can't decide on words but are still going for something slow, elegant, and timeless, "The Wedding Song" by Kenny G is good. He also does a song with Pebo Bryson called "By the Time This Night is Over" which is absolutely gorgeous.

I hope this helps and I pray God will bless and guide your union today and always. Best of luck to you my dear.

p4r4n0i4 · May 2010

Another couple dancing to "The Way I Am" right here.

taylorjenna · May 2010

We are also in our 20s our song is Angel by Jack Johnson. We also narrowed it down to Walk with you or Carry you by a band called dispatch. Good luck!

krista.reid · May 2010

We are using "today" by Joshua Radin
