    WP processional: Lucky by Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillat
    Bridal processional: Maunaleo
    Recessional: All You Need Is Love
    First Dance: All I Want Is You by Barry Louis Polisar (from the Juno soundtrack)
    Father-Daughter Dance: 18 Yellow Roses by Bobby Darin (his pick), then The Twist by Chubby Checker (my pick) and hopefully FI will bring his mom out to dance too

    I could listen to our ceremony songs on a loop all day from now to the wedding, and I still don't think I'd be tired of them.  :)

    Father-Daughter Dance: Not having one

    Haven't solidified anything yet, but these are some things I was thinking of:

    WP Processional: "Somewhere over the rainbow"
    Bride Processional: Either Pachelbel Canon in D or Hawaiian Wedding Song (i think that's what it's called)
    Recessional: TBD
    Bridal Party Intro: Hawaii Five-o Theme song
    US intro: TBD
    First Dance: "I'll Stay with you" John Legend
    Father/Daugher: Jazz song of my father's choice :)
    Bouquet toss: Sex & The City Theme song or "Single Ladies" by Beyonce
    (still not sure if we're doing one...but those would be my songs)
    Those are some that I thought would work well & really liked! We LOVE John Legend, so I think that one's for sure!

    I'm totally planning for the same processional and recessional songs! Except I'm planning on the Elvis version of Can't help falling in love :) 

    We arent doing dances either, more of a casual party reception, but I still want a great playlist of love/romantic and/or hawaiian songs.
